Esri recently announced the launch of ArcGIS Platform, a platform as a service (PaaS) offering developers a new way to utilize ArcGIS technology. The ArcGIS Platform allows developers to bring in location and geospatial intelligence into their technology or business systems in a custom way. The ArcGIS Platform can be integrated with Esri applications or can be used to build new applications and business solutions.
ArcGIS Platform is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that allows developers to easily integrate geospatial data and location data and intelligence into their applications and systems. Essentially, the ArcGIS Platform is an SDK (software development kit) and API (application programming interface) toolkit to allow developers to easily plug in geospatial data to their own native applications, or build entirely custom GIS applications with the power of Esri technology and location intelligence behind them.
For less developer-centric organizations that want to integrate ArcGIS technology with their systems, there are also low-code options that enable teams to quickly deploy these capabilities and utilize the customization available with ArcGIS Platform.
ArcGIS Platform is a scalable option for businesses and organizations, and parties can sign up for free and pay-as-you-go (plug and play) with transparent costs for services. This means businesses can utilize as much or as little of ArcGIS Platform as they need, and can scale their use as their business needs grow.
AirSpace Link, a cloud-based drone management capability provider, utilizes ArcGIS Platform to combine local data with Esri’s demographic and geocoding services to ensure “safe, compliant drone operations for our customers across the country.”
Salesforce, a prominent customer relationships management company, utilizes ArcGIS Platform with the ArcGIS Javascript API to help their Salesforce Maps users visualize their data on maps with collections of basemaps and imagery, giving them a better understanding of the data.
ArcGIS Platform allows developers and companies to further customize GIS technology to their specific needs. They have the option of integrating with existing Esri products and applications, but they can also create their own products and applications for their business; ensuring that their business or customers get a customized GIS experience.
