Product Overview
ArcGIS
is an integrated collection of GIS software products for building
a complete GIS. ArcGIS enables users to deploy GIS functionality
wherever it is needed—in desktops, servers, or custom applications;
over the Web; or in the field.
Desktop GIS is the primary platform for GIS professionals to
compile, author, and use geographic information and knowledge.
Server GIS allows GIS software to be centralized in application
servers—delivering
GIS capabilities to large numbers of users over networks.
Mobile GIS enables field-based personnel to capture, store,
update, manipulate, analyze, and display geographic information.
Hosted GIS offers a cost-effective way to include mapping
and location services in Web-enabled applications.
ArcGIS Online provides ready-to-use online map services, globe
services, and other GIS services for use with ArcGIS.
ArcGIS Desktop
ArcGIS Desktop is a collection of software products that runs on standard
desktop computers. It is used to create, import, edit, query, map,
analyze,
and publish geographic information. There are four products in the
ArcGIS Desktop collection; each adds a higher level of functionality.
-
ArcReader is a free viewer for maps authored using the other ArcGIS Desktop products. It can view and print all maps and data types. It also has some simple tools to explore and query maps.
-
ArcView provides extensive mapping, data use, and analysis along with simple editing and geoprocessing capabilities.
-
ArcEditor includes advanced editing for shapefiles and geodatabases in addition to the full functionality of ArcView.
-
ArcInfo is the full function, flagship GIS desktop. It extends the functionality of both ArcView and ArcEditor with advanced geoprocessing. It also includes the legacy applications for ArcInfo Workstation.
With the ArcGIS 9.2 release, ESRI focused on improved usability, stability,
and performance as well as quality improvements and enhancements across
all products.
ESRI® ArcGIS® Desktop
9.2 provides improved tools and interfaces, support for sophisticated cartographic
design, advanced modeling tools for analysis, and enhanced CAD support. At
9.2, ArcGIS Desktop extensions have also been updated with new tools and
enhancements.
New functionality has been added and/or improvements have been made to the
following areas:
-
Geodatabase
-

ArcGIS
Desktop Extensions
New capabilities can be added to desktop products through a series of
ArcGIS extensions from ESRI and other organizations. Extensions allow
you to perform tasks such as raster geoprocessing, three-dimensional visualization,
and geostatistical analysis. Unless noted, extensions can be used with
ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo.
Developers can create new custom extensions to ArcGIS Desktop by working with ArcObjects, the ArcGIS software component library. Users develop extensions and custom tools using standard Windows programming interfaces such as Visual Basic (VB), .NET, Java, and Visual C++.
