  1. ArcGIS and the Web Scott Morehouse, ESRI 8 March 2010

  2. The nature of the computing landscape continues to change • Mainframe computing • Departmental and scientific computing • Workstations and networks • Personal computers • Database and enterprise servers • The web connecting the systems • Devices and networks • The web IS the system • …

  3. The fundamental nature of our work remains constant • Resource and landscape inventory • Facility management • Planning • Government operations • Science • Land information and managment • Public access to information • … But technology change allow for new approaches…

  4. We will stay focused on serving real users with useful systems Working together to build - real things for real people doing real work What works? Simple things scale, complex things fail. Understanding geographic content is critical – “It’s what’s in the groove that counts.” Iterate Think clearly and adapt

  5. Some implications of “the web”… • Federated network architecture • Simple and fast apps & user experience • Content is key • Web programming models • Participation in a larger ecosystem • Collaboration and volunteered information • “Cloud computing” paradigm We will continue to integrate the web into ArcGIS

  6. The Importance of Good Maps • Everyone uses maps • People understand and appreciate maps • Maps are not just static information on paper • Web maps, mobile maps • Real-time maps, analytic maps • Maps are a powerful metaphor for “well-designed geographic information • People need good maps • Simple, well designed, timely, accurate • Information is combined and integrated using maps • Base maps and overlays • Mapping is a simple model for collaboration • Maps are a shared resource • We need a well designed system infrastructure

  7. The web plays a role in each GIS architectural pattern • Workstation GIS • Enterprise GIS • Web GIS

  8. Workstation-centered GIS Web ArcGIS Desktop Local Enterprise

  9. Enterprise-centered GIS ArcGIS Server

  10. Web-centered GIS ArcGIS Online

  11. ArcGIS 10A Simple & Pervasive System for Using Maps & Geographic Information Easier, More Powerful & Everywhere Cloud Web • Visualize • Create • Collaborate • Discover • Manage • Analyze Enterprise Mobile Local Desktop Making GIS Available to Everyone

  12. arcgis.com • Maps • Imagery, cartography, and features • ESRI, collaborative, and user maps • Read-only and editable maps • Live maps (services) and static (information packages) • Apps • User sites, samples, business partner apps, templates, demos • SDKs and viewers (JavaScript, Silverlight, Flash,…) • Browser, Mobile, Desktop • People • Users, groups, organizations, profiles, comments • Servers • Where live maps and apps live • Built-in, ESRI managed servers, and user managed servers • Cloud and enterprise servers

  13. ArcGIS 10 online capabilities • Desktop – building great maps • Find and use maps • Share maps (and features) as packages • Manage maps online • Server - serving maps • As: software, Amazon VM, ESRI managed • Integrated ArcGIS Support and Resource Center
