Editor's Notes
- Demands on our health industry are constantly changing; from best facility placement, managing costs, and doing more with less to provide higher quality care more efficiently. GIS can enlighten data, decrease costs, and be used to make better decisions. GIS is also evolving rapidly, and is a complete platform that can serve many needs, for many different people in your organizations. Learn how GIS is evolving to help deliver productivity, efficiency and insight to the health industry, and how it can turn “I think” into “I understand.”
- And that’s what ArcGIS is really about. It’s a platform that enables us to gain geographic understanding. Years ago when I first entered the doors of ESRI, one could clearly describe ArcGIS as software that was installed on a computer – a very large minicomputer at the time. But ArcGIS has evolved well beyond that. It’s not a single piece of software – rather it’s a combination of many different kinds of applications intended for many kinds of users – for individuals collecting data in the field, for developers building apps for public consumption, for organizations of all kinds, and for governments.This platform supports a wide variety of uses in many different ways – via the cloud, on desktops, through servers, and on mobile devices.All of these components work together to provide a broad and deep platform for gaining geographic understanding, and sharing it with others. It’s a complete ecosystem that we can leverage for our geodesign work.
- Recently someone told me a story about an executive – a decision maker – they had talked to. They were involved in far-reaching planning decisions, with long-term implications. When asked about whether those decisions would achieve success, or would achieve the intended goals, the person responded – well, we think so.Geography is a science and unifying concept that integrates many forms of disparate data to create an understanding of our world.While uncertainty is sometimes inevitable, what we want to do is gain geographic understanding. It’s what we, as GIS users, believe in and strive for. We want to turn “I think” into “I know” or “I understand.”

- ArcGIS supports multiple implementation patterns, and these patterns leverage all the popular computing architectures, the desktop with file-based systems, client server with datacentric things, and servercentric work. And now this emerging pattern of web GIS.
- This web GIS environment supports the entire organization or the entire enterprise. It makes mapping in GIS available to everyone. It supports, of course, the GIS professional. But their role, their support mechanism, is also changing. This architecture not only transforms what GIS does in the organization, it also affects the role of GIS professionals at the same time, being the supporters, being the enablers, being the custodians, being the quintessential people within organizations across the organization.
- ArcGIS is now a web GIS. It does the same things that Roger Tomlinson talked about in 1960. It makes maps. It analyzes data. It manages information, but it's in a far simpler form as you will see. It's integrated all the pieces, and it's also open.
- This environment is accessible from any client, desktop, web, or device.
- It's fed by, or powered by, services like your servers or services coming from the cloud like maps or models or other sorts of things.
- It is all about organizing the content, managing access. Portal for ArcGIS is a new extension that comes with 10.2, but this extension already lives inside of ArcGIS Online for organizing content and allowing sharing of it.
- Altogether, these pieces represent a platform, enabling web GIS everywhere, not only in the cloud. The cloud is very exciting. People talk a lot about it, but there are also constraints there. With Portal for ArcGIS, all of the cool ArcGIS Online stuff that many of you have been attracted to will now be implementable on-premises on your site.
- ArcGIS Online is probably the biggest thing to happen to the ArcGIS platform in recent years. And it’s still evolving rapidly. ArcGIS Online has evolved from a simple framework for sharing data, to a deeply integrated and integral cloud component of ArcGIS.It leverages the cloud – hosted services, online storage, dynamic web maps, and more – to provide a new pattern for implementing GIS. But while new in many ways, it’s also an integration of traditional patterns – desktops, servers, and enterprises coupled with new cloud-based capabilities.It has unlocked geographic knowledge and capabilities for many of our users, and transformed the way they work and collaborate, and make their information more available. And it’s also enabled others, outside the GIS hallways in organizations, to participate.
