ArcGIS provides flexibility when
configuring a system since it is modular and scalable. It is
modular in the sense that you acquire the system in pieces.
ArcView provides data visualization,
query, analysis, and integration capabilities along with the
ability to create and edit simple geographic features.
ArcEditor, a brand new software
product, includes all the functionality ArcView and adds the
power to create and edit features in a multiuser geodatabase or
coverage.
ArcInfo includes all the functionality
of ArcEditor and adds advanced geoprocessing capabilities.
ArcSDE adds database services to the ArcGIS family, while ArcIMS
adds Internet services.
ArcGIS is scalable since it can be
deployed on an individual desktop or across a globally
distributed network of people.
Built out of modern object-based components,
the range of software programs share the same core applications,
user interface, and operating concepts. After you learn one,
you'll easily understand how to use the others. If you extend
one, your custom tool or application just works with the others.
This makes it easier to learn, teach, program, and produce maps.
In summary, ArcGIS is a robust platform built on an architecture
that will be the foundation of ESRI software for years to come.
