Getting Started with ESRI Software

Getting Started with ESRI Software

ESRI offers an integrated collection of GIS software products for building a complete GIS.
ArcGIS is the family of products that enables organizations to deploy GIS functionality wher-
ever it is neededin desktops, servers, or custom applications; over the Web; or in the field.
ESRI products are grouped into the following main categories: desktop GIS and server GIS.

Desktop GIS is used to ArcGIS Desktop is used to discover patterns, relationships, and trends in your data that are

gives you the power to manage and integrate data, perform advanced analysis, model and
analyze geographic data
automate workflows, and display results. If you need to get started with ArcGIS Desktop
on the desktop and create software, the following courses are recommended:
professional-quality maps,

or workplace experience with GIS but no ArcGIS software experience and who want to
learn the range of ArcGIS functionality and basic ArcGIS skills (Those working in geo-
spatial intelligence or law enforcement organizations should take Introduction to ArcGIS

should take Learning ArcGIS Desktop.)

ArcGIS Desktop III: GIS Workflows and AnalysisFor those who want to extend
their basic ArcGIS skills in the areas of data creation and editing, geoprocessing models,
and GIS analysis

Server GIS allows GIS ArcGIS Server software allows GIS analysts to author maps, globes, and geoprocessing

capabilities to be delivered tasks on their desktops and publish them via a server using integrated tools. GIS functions
can then be delivered as services throughout the enterprise. ESRI server GIS is IT-compliant
to large numbers of users
and interoperable with other enterprise software such as customer resource management
over networks. (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. If you need to get started with
ArcGIS Server, the following courses are recommended:
