"I'm very positive about the future of GIS. It's the right technology at the right time. When I think of all the major problems that we face throughout the world today—overpopulation, food shortages, reduced agricultural production, adverse climate change, poverty—these are all quintessentially geographic problems. These problems are all concerned with the human relationship to the land, and this is where GIS can make its biggest contribution. GIS is the technology of our times and is uniquely suited to assist in solving the problems that we face."

-Dr. Roger F. Tomilson, Father of GIS

ESRI releases ArcGIS 10.5

Esri, the global leader in spatial analytics technology, releases Esri ArcGIS 10.5. Analytics and sharing are at the heart of this release. At 10.5, the product formerly known as ArcGIS for Server is now called ArcGIS Enterprise. On purchasing ArcGIS Enterprise, we will get the ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Data Store, and ArcGIS Web Adaptor software components; we can install these to deploy Web GIS in your own infrastructure.


New features in Esri ArcGIS 10.5 :
  • Improved capabilities for handling large-scale analytics and big data.
  • A drag-and-drop interface that streamlines the creation of spatial analysis through maps, charts, and graphs.
  • Collaboration features to connect and analyze information across the enterprise.
  • Improved integration of social media feeds, allowing users to integrate Facebook and Google accounts using their own logins.
  • Ready-to-build, sharable solutions for raster, vector, and tabular data.
  • Streamlined deployment to leading cloud providers, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and IBM Cloud.
  • Enhancements to Esri ArcGIS Pro and Esri ArcGIS Online—including batch-analytic toolsets, vector tile basemaps, and code-free app building—that bring 3D data from drones and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) to mobile devices.
“If organizations are not looking at data spatially—as it exists in the world around them—they will overlook patterns and trends that impact their business and clients,ArcGIS provides the tools to accelerate their digital transformation, helping them master the analysis of big data, real-time data, and information from the Internet of Things.” said Jack Dangermond, founder and president of Esri.
