PR - ESRI (UK) customers will soon benefit from improved
interoperability and enhanced geospatial services available in ArcGIS 9.3. This
incremental release of ArcGIS will not only make it easier than ever for ESRI
(UK) customers to access data from multiple databases, but will enable them to
access rich GIS functionality from a range of clients including mobile,
web-based and third-party applications..
ESRI’s ArcGIS 9.3 software solution is designed to be open
and interoperate with standard hardware platforms, operating systems, database
technology and application servers. With ArcGIS 9.3, users can extract,
transform and load spatial information easily from multiple data sources and
export data to other spatial systems using point to point interfaces and
industry standards like SOA.
Peter Wilkinson, Head of
Technical Solutions Group, ESRI (UK) said: “ArcGIS 9.3’s open architecture
will enable organisations to integrate geographic data quickly and simply within
their core business systems, for example, risk management, customer
relationship management and business intelligence software. Interoperability
within ArcGIS 9.3 also enables information to be shared easily throughout an
organisation and with partners and customers”.
ESRI’s
ArcGIS 9.3 software offers full support for the latest operating systems and
database technology including PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server2008 and Vista as
well as support for Adobe System’s Acrobat 9 application. This provides
first time ability to find, locate, display and measure locations and features
on a map in a PDF file using x and y co-ordinates and enables users to
distribute maps to a wider audience.
The
new JavaScript and Flex APIs make sharing maps over the Internet or company
intranets easier, as well as combining GIS-based web services from ArcGIS Server
with other web content. This new mash-up capability enables organisations to
reduce the time required to distribute GIS data and applications over the web
‘ArcGIS 9.3 is the
only complete and interoperable GIS capable of delivering a seamless and highly
visual experience, customised to the exact needs and abilities of any
individual within an organisation. With the 9.3 release, GIS is now available
to a whole new non-technical user base, allowing them to go beyond simple
mapping and really explore the possibilities of geographic analysis’,
Peter concluded.
ESRI’s
ArcGIS 9.3 will be showcased at its Europe, Middle East and Africa User
Conference on 28th October 2008 at London’s QEII Conference Centre. To
