What is ArcGIS?
ArcGIS is a powerful GIS (Geographic Information System) Application for Mapping and manipulating Data. It is developed and maintained by ESRI.
It’s offers location based analytics to your Studies or Business practices. Gain greater insights using contextual tools to visualize and analyze your data. Collaborate and share via maps, apps, dashboards and reports.
Arc-GIS was first released in 1999 and originally was released as ArcINFO. The ArcINFO was later merged into Arc-GIS Desktop. After 15 years, Arc-GIS released ArcGIS Pro in 2015. ArcGIS Pro works in 2D and 3D for Cartography and Visualization, and also works for Artificial Intelligence.
ArcGIS Desktop
A ArcGIS Desktop offer for GIS professionals to create, analyze, manage, and share Geographic Information so decision makers can make intelligent, informed decisions. It’s allows to create maps, perform spatial analysis, and manage data.
4 Application uses in Arc-GIS:- ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGlobe and ArcScene, work together to provide a full spectrum of GIS capabilities.
