ARC/INFO is the ultimate in professional GIS. It allows the user to create and maintain geographic information, manage large, multi-user spatial databases, integrate multiple data types, perform sophisticated spatial analysis, produce high-quality maps for publication and create turnkey GIS applications for end users.
ARC/INFO running on Windows NT or UNIX is the ideal GIS server for large or small organizations. Everyone in the organization can access GIS data and perform sophisticated, high-end, and custom geoprocessing operations. And ARC/INFO is implemented as a true client to ESRI's spatial Database Engine (SDE ) universal spatial data server. And now, with ArcSDE, a special release of ESRI's SDE technology for RC/INFO users, the many benefits of SDE are conveniently brought to all users of the world's leading professional GIS.
ARC/INFO enables you to perform tasks that would otherwise require any products from many different vendors. ARC/INFO integrates all these data types with tabular DBMS data: vector, raster, photographs, canned documents, satellite images, CAD drawings, and sound/video.
With the ARC/INFO Open Development Environment, you can design and build the exact system you need using standard development tools including Visual Basic, C++, PowerBuilder, Tcl/Tk, and Motif. Or, use RC/INFO's build-in scripting language, ARC Macro Language (AML).
Users can create their own menu interfaces, icons, buttons, and special graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for map display. You won't find another IS with more flexible options for customization and application development.
