ArcGIS

ArcGIS is the mapping and spatial analysis platform made by Esri. It links data together through geography, so organisations can view and study their information on maps, in apps and on dashboards.

• Spatial analytics — apply location-based analysis to business and public-sector data.
• Sharing tools — circulate maps, apps, dashboards and reports to colleagues.
• ArcGIS Enterprise — a self-hosted option for mapping, analytics and data management.
• ArcGIS AllSource — a product for turning data into decision support.
• Personal and student use — separate arrangements exist for individuals and learners.
