1. Thank you Kartini.
Let me share the road ahead for ArcGIS 10.5.
1

2. ArcGIS is advancing. Its both contributing and integration many new
innovations in areas like analytics, smart mapping, 3D, remote sensing, Big
Data and many others.
This years is incredible years in terms of advances across all of different areas
of the platform include ArcGIS Enterprise, Pro, regular release of online, the
production release of runtime version 100, and the Javascript API : the 4x
releases and 3x releases of all our applications.
2

3. ArcGIS is the platform information model. It made up of maps and scenes,
layers, analytics and also dashboards, story maps as well as other
information products. All of this is powered by services and those services
expose and work with data. This make this platform truly distributed. You
can implement it on premises or in your chosen cloud. That’s the platform
available to deploy in your own infrastructure we call that ArcGIS
Enterprise. It’s also available for you to use online as an organization with
ArcGIS Online, which is SaaS system in the cloud.
It shows how applications and developer application built using APIs
connect to the platform and work with these information model elements,
these high-level elements : the maps, the scenes, the layers, they really
abstract the information. They serve multiple purpose within the ArcGIS
platform, they allow end-users to author them using applications that are
familiar to them, and expose them as you know these very tangible things
maps and layers but actually behind the scene, those are powered by things
like feature services, images services, geocoding services, spatial analysis
services, geo-analytic services. So all of the system is services-based
allowing it to be very distributed, at the same time these high-level
abstractions really make it easy for people to configure the system, as well
as for applications to realize functionality very quickly, by actually working
with these entities. These are items in our portal information model and they
3

4. are very real with respect to our developer APIs.
3

5. So now lets talk about the different aspects of the system, the components of the system.
ArcGIS enterprise is a very large part of our work and our release this year.
It is ArCGIS for server we renamed it to ‘ArCGIS Enterprise’ because that really
captures the full dimensions of what it is. It’s a complete GIS in your own infrastructure
and it includes all of the familiar components that you expect. It’s got the portal, it’s got
GIS Server, data stores. And these additional capabilities are deployable as specialized
servers. So this is something new at 10.5. the notion that in addition to the GIS server
that works with your portal, you can have these specialized servers: the image server, the
geoevent server, the GEoAnalytics server, they become more decoupled, they become
more focused on their purpose, and all of them working with the portal and with the
back-end data stores, help you realize your functionality, and they can run close together
or they can be spread apart as needed.
At 10.5 of course you know we have enhanced geospatial. We also have aspects like
portal collaboration via item replication that allow you to connect different instances of
ArcGIS Enterprise together. The distributed architecture that I just spoke about,
automation enhancements. So this is a really big release for arcgis enterprise.
4

6. This is show this ability to connect these different instances of arcgis enterprise
together so you might have Enterprise deployed in different departments within
a large organization and also a central enterprise-wide system that used across
the organization. Well, these can all be connected and share information through
item replication.
5

7. ArcGIS Online is ArcGIS available at SaaS. It’s very popular, you’re making
amazing use of it, there’s great growth in the numbers of users, in the numbers
of items they’re creating, in the number of map viewers and we’ve been
working hard at it with regular quarterly releases, and each of those releases has
new capabilities, things like, the ability to create views on feature layers, the
ability to generate your vector tiles in pro, upload them to Online and serve
them out. The ability to create and have hosted 3D layers so lots of functionality
through the year and more to come in all these areas that you see. Including
continued improvements to the core experience. You’ve seen them come out
thru the year and you’ll see more coming out this year in areas like search,
continued work in content management, and of course mapping, 3D, all of the
core areas. These are some of the enhancements that you’ve seen come out
through the past year. Continued focus on smart mapping, on web appbuilder,
the introduction of drone2map, the ability to take its output and upload them to
6

8. Online, configurables 3D apps, and hosted 3D data, vector base maps and
online.
6

9. ArcGIS Pro is part of ArcGIS Desktop. ArcGIS Desktop are an essential part of
our platform. ArcGIS Pro is both a premium Desktop app and an essential
aspect of our distributed GIS.
ArcGIS Pro consumers of information from the platform and also create
information that can be disseminated and used in this platform. We’re seen huge
releases of Pro through last year 2016 and that’s going to continue into 2017
with lots of functionality for things like vector tile creation, 3D object editing.
Image classification, ortho mapping, SDK and sharing to online.
7

10. So if I were to summarize this part it’s basically to say that ArCGIS supports
multiple implementation patterns. You could have standalone desktops working
with information, servers that all they do is serve out geospatial services, or you
could have complete deployments of the full platform based on ArcGIS Online
or ArcGIS Enterprise, and increasingly these systems themselves are being
connected to each other leading to a system of system, an interconnected
network and we see that emerging too, so ArcGIS is truly distributed.
8

11. Apps make the platform real for our users. We build them, you build them and
we think of apps for the field, apps that can be used in the office, apps for the
community and for engagement with constituencies, and these apps, they’re
very active, there has been a lot of development, and there have been
continuous release through the year for example in the area of apps for the field,
things like support for high-accuracy GPS receivers, and the release of
Survey123, the web version. Workforce on android. We’ve been working on the
next generation of these apps based on the latest releases of our Runtime APIs.
9

12. As builders and developers of apps, ArcGIS has lots of technology for you. We
build our own apps using these technologies and these are available to you as
developers. In terms of building apps thru configuration, we have web
appbuilder and we have appstudio. We have configurable apps and these are
incredibly popular and they’ve been used to build a huge number of
applications, and we see a great growth in that. Then we have the runtime and
our javascript API and all of the SDKs around those and they really get, they let
you get at all of the functionality in the platform
10

13. So now I want to move on to the capabilities of the platform. Data management
and data integration, it all begins there and ArcGIS gives you a lot there, like
you already know. In terms of the core information, feature services have been
innovating rapidly through the year, things like views on layers, levels of details
on features, change tracking archiving, sync, but we’re also working on more
advanced information models for example, for utilities, a new services based
information model together with the ability to do long transactions by
versioning. All through a services model and you see that coming up this year-
By the end of the year. Of course continued support for our different databases
and data access technologies. We’re working on enhancement of geocoding.
11

14. Mapping is key. Mapping and visualization, it’s for both presentation as well as
understanding, smart mapping is a real focus for us because it helps people
understand their data through exploration and before they start drilling into it
with deep analytics. Time is an area of focus. We’ve also been working on
vector tiles both in 2D and 3d, as well as as mobile map packages.
12

15. 3D is a very important area. We’ve been looking at all of the different
information types including point clouds, integrated meshes, 3d objects, for
each of these we’re building layers that make it easy for you to work with them
in applications. We’re also putting a lot of work in sharing the core
specifications of these with you, so that you can access them through our APIs
or directly, however you choose to. That includes the packaged version of these.
Work on scene layer packages.
13

16. Analytics is a very important area. ArcGIS has rich desktop-based spatial
analysis, spatial statistics, geostatistics, geoprocessing, all of it in Desktop and
Pro and also available to Python. We’ve also been working on new interactive
user experience for analysis that we’ve release in Insight for ArcGIS. And you
seen this morning how Firdaus have shown you a new approach to data
exploration.
14

17. Big data is an area of focus. We’ve been working on parallelized analytics on
both vector and raster data, so that things that take days can be done in hours or
minutes and rebuilding user experience for these so that people can drive the
server-based analytics thru Pro, thru the web map viewer, through our APIs and
to Python notebooks.
15

18. Imagery is hugely important area both for visualization and information
dissemination, on-the-fly, as well as analysis at source resolution on really large
datasets where the results can be persisted and reused multiple times, raster
analytics on Big Data. All of that is powered by the ARcGIS Image server
which has these images services for dissemination as well as for persisted
analytics.
16

19. Real-time is another really important area. It’s used for asset monitoring,
vehicle tracking. The internet of things is all about sensors, measurement that
flow into this for real-time analytics as well as archiving and subsequent batch
analytics. We have connectivity to the Azure iot hub, the amazon iot gateway,
and real-time is a key part of the platform especially when coupled with
Geoanalytics.
17

20. So if I were to sum that up, we would say that ArcGIS enables multiple types of
systems. This has always been the power of GIS. GIS does data management,
data wrangling, data integration, it does mapping, it does visualization, it does
analytics and ArcGIS brings all of these aspects together and you’re using it to
implement systems of engagement, systems of insights and systems of record or
connecting to system of record for insight and in doing all of these you’re
enabling the science of where.
18

21. So in conclusion, ArcGIS platform has been and is advancing and we’re
working on all of these areas and we’re looking forward to 2017.
Today, we shared a lot of it with you, and hopefully when you come back to
office tomorrow, you will start plan using ArcGIS 10.5 and make benefit from
the capabilities that ArcGIS provide to you.
Thank you.
