If you are interested in how to exploit spatial technology throughout your businesses workflows, ESRI Ireland can help. Through our work on some of the largest implementations of GIS in Ireland North and South we have gained a depth and breath of experience in implementing enterprise class geographic information systems.

Over the past number of years we have helped many of our Customers develop their systems from being simple desktop implementations to becoming a key element of their information architecture. Often this involves implementing spatial technology across desktop, database, server, web and mobile channels. This class of Corporate System requires a robust technology, well proven implementation methodologies and a certain vision to ensure a successful outcome.

At ESRI Ireland we can help you exploit the full potential of GIS in your particular business. We have access to;

• The ArcGIS technology stack which is a holistic and integrated environment for the creation, management, visualization and analysis of spatial data. ArcGIS consists of an integrated suite of components spanning desktop, database, server, web and mobile channels.
• An extensive set of “best practice” patterns in enterprise class systems implementation which we share with our Customers via our Resource Centre and our System Design Strategies documents.
• A staff of Consultants with the professional competencies, experience and vision to help you exploit the potential our technology can offer to your business.

Integrated System

• Full scale, integrated corporate GIS implementations require a solid technology foundation. It is often difficult for Customers to build this using diverse technology from multiple suppliers with complex fault prone interfaces. That’s why ArcGIS is engineered as a single integrated system. ArcGIS is an integrated collection of GIS software products that provides a standards-based platform for spatial analysis, data management, and mapping.
• ArcGIS is not a single application rather it is an integrated and holistic system delivered as a single, scalable integrated technology stack. It incorporates a data management tier, a server tier, and a client tier with multiple channels including desktop, smart client, thin client and mobile.
• All ArcGIS client channels interact with the data tier via a single consistent software interface engineered using a Microsoft .COM object model called ArcObjects.

Open Interfaces
