Note: There also a number of other, third party mobile collection solutions that enable users to collect data in the field for use in ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online. You can use Admin Tools for ArcGIS Online to help manage your data, maps, and groups, providing access to data and software to those users in your organization that need it.
Other Esri products included, a for developers, and as a. The various products had branched out into multiple and did not integrate well with one another. In January 1997, Esri decided to revamp its GIS software platform, creating a single integrated software architecture. ArcMap 8.0 In late 1999, Esri released ArcMap 8.0, which ran on the. ArcGIS combined the visual user-interface aspect of GIS 3.x interface with some of the power from the Arc/INFO version 7.2 workstation. This pairing resulted in a new software suite called ArcGIS including the command-line ArcInfo workstation (v8.0) and a new graphical user interface application called (v8.0).
This ArcMAP incorporating some of the functionality of ArcInfo with a more intuitive, as well as a called ArcCatalog (v8.0). The release of the ArcMap constituted a major change in Esri's software offerings, aligning all their client and server products under one software architecture known as ArcGIS, developed using standards. While the interface and names of ArcMap 8.0 are similar to later versions of ArcGIS Desktop, they are different products. ArcGIS 8.1 replaced ArcMap 8.0 in the product line but was not an update to it.ArcGIS Desktop 8.1 to 8.3 ArcGIS 8.1 was unveiled at the in 2000.
ArcGIS 8.1 was officially released on April 24, 2001. This new application included three extensions: 3D Analyst, Spatial Analyst, and GeoStatistical Analyst. These three extension had become very powerful and popular in ArcView GIS 3.x product line. ArcGIS 8.1 also added the ability to access data online, directly from the Geography Network site or other map services. ArcGIS 8.3 was introduced in 2002, adding to geodatabases, which was a feature originally available only with ArcInfo coverages.One major difference is the available to customize or extend the software to suit particular user needs. In the transition to ArcGIS, Esri dropped support of its application-specific scripting languages, Avenue and the ARC Macro Language (AML), in favour of scripting and open access to ArcGIS components using the Microsoft standards. ArcGIS is designed to store data in a proprietary RDBMS format, known as.
ArcGIS 8.x introduced other new features, including on-the-fly, and annotation in the database. ArcGIS 9.x ArcGIS 9 was released in May 2004, which included ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Engine for developers. The ArcGIS 9 release includes a geoprocessing environment that allows execution of traditional GIS processing tools (such as clipping, overlay, and spatial analysis) interactively or from any scripting language that supports standards. Although the most popular of these is, others have been used, especially. ArcGIS 9 includes a visual programming environment, similar to 's Model Maker (released in 1994, v8.0.2). The Esri version is called ModelBuilder and as does the version allows users to graphically link geoprocessing tools into new tools called models. These models can be executed directly or exported to scripting languages which can then execute in batch mode (launched from a command line), or they can undergo further editing to add branching or looping.On June 26, 2008, Esri released ArcGIS 9.3.
The new version of ArcGIS Desktop has new modeling tools and geostatistical error tracking features, while ArcGIS Server has improved performance, and support for role-based security. ESRI representatives demonstrating ArcGIS features at an convention.ArcGIS Desktop products and ArcPad are available with a single-use license. Most products are also available with concurrent-use license, while development server licenses and other types of are available for other products.
Single-use products can be purchased online from the Esri Store, while all ArcGIS products are available through a sales representative. Annual software maintenance and support is also available for ArcGIS.
While there are alternative products available from vendors such as, and open-source, Esri has a dominant of the GIS software market, estimated in 2015 at 43%. Criticisms Issues with ArcGIS include perceived high prices for the products, formats, and difficulties of data between Esri and other GIS software.Esri's transition to the ArcGIS platform, starting with the 1999 release of ArcGIS 8.0, rendered incompatible an extensive range of user-developed and third-party add-on software and scripts.
A minority resists migrating to ArcGIS because of changes in capability, functionality, (Esri developed ArcGIS Desktop software exclusively for the operating system), as well as the significantly larger system resources required by the ArcGIS software. See also.
