Graphic maps and business maps enable CEOs and executive managers to gain a quick overview. Trends can be recognised early on, allowing companies to react quicker. GIS analysts have never been in such high demand as they are today, to prepare the vast volumes of geographic data, as well as a company’s own data. Today, global information systems can be integrated into the Office environment using add-ins.

Team members are now given a geographic overview of data that was formerly provided in tables and charts. The GIS should no longer be a separate, stand-alone IT tool within a company but should be increasingly integrated into the operational procedures of all departments. Map-supported communication also plays a key role in marketing.

The first steps to supporting your web presence with maps – discover, use, create and share your own web maps!  Simply set up your ‘organisation’ and design your company’s GIS portal!

Content of named users is not shared outside your company. Content can also be made public, however, if you wish to quickly publicise information. Every ArcGIS for Desktop user is automatically a named user. Additional named users can be added to the organisation.

The tried-and-trusted desktop GIS by Esri is a high-performance system to manage and process spatial data. Most of our customers use the basic version of ArcGIS for Desktop. The system can be expanded with a range of extensions and offers a flexible configuration due to in-house programming.

ArcGIS online enables named Esri users to access a vast amount of public geographic data in the Esri cloud. Company-own data that is processed on the desktop can also be shared via the cloud. Every named user (as long as you have a support contract for ArcGIS for Desktop) also has access to ArcGIS Pro. Today’s ArcGIS Pro gives you access to a GIS of the future: The new 64-bit application features faster data processing, as well as the opportunity to manage both 2D and 3D data.

Intranet and internet maps are provided via special servers, allowing them to be used in shared applications, for example, as dynamic maps that can be accessed online from anywhere in the world. Such applications can be fully customised and can also be integrated into a company’s own intranet.

This allows data from ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems to be visualised on maps directly in the intranet via appropriate interfaces. There is no need to have your own GIS software; you can portray information and reports from your ERP on a map within a matter of clicks and allow other stakeholders to access these via a shared environment (internet or intranet).

Every site and every organisation has a specific ‘reach’. The word ‘radius’ has become well-established in everyday language. However, good geographic information has one critical benefit: catchment areas are not calculated as the crow flies, but are determined from the actual road network.
Catchment areas can either be defined in terms of distance or in terms of time. Distances (e.g. kilometres) around a specific site are an objective measurement. Time-based distance calculations, on the other hand, must always be determined in relation to the actual flow of traffic. However, catchment areas scenarios can still be developed based on different assumptions of average speed.
Catchment areas can easily be superposed with other geographic data (e.g. census tracts), thus enabling the identification of all regions that are directly impacted by a catchment area. The catchment area is therefore combined with demographic data, which is a key factor in site analysis.
