ArcGIS is a scalable family of software comprising a complete geographic information system, built on industry standards, that is rich in functionality and works out of the box. Organizations deploy the software of ArcGIS— ArcView, ArcEditor, ArcInfo, ArcSDE, and ArcIMS— in a configuration appropriate for their needs.
ArcView is the world's most popular desktop GIS and mapping software, with more than 500,000 copies in use worldwide. ArcView provides geographic data visualization, query, analysis, and integration capabilities along with the ability to create and edit geographic data.
ArcEditoris a state-of-the-art GIS data visualization, query, and creation solution. Designed for the Windows desktop, ArcEditor is the ideal solution for managing and editing shapefiles, personal geodatabases, and multi-user (ArcSDE) geodatabases.
ArcInfo is the complete GIS data creation, update, query, mapping, and analysis system. Professionals use ArcInfo for spatial data automation since it includes the most comprehensive collection of GIS tools available.
ArcSDE is an application server that facilitates storing and managing spatial data in a relational database management system. ArcSDE allows you to openly manage spatial data in one of four commercial databases (IBM DB2 Universal Database and Informix Dynamic Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle) and to serve ESRI's file-based data. ArcIMS software is the foundation for distributing geographic information system (GIS) data and applications on the Internet. ArcIMS provides a standard platform to integrate, share, and exchange GIS data from other agencies. ArcIMS supports Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms.
