The next release of the world’s leading GIS, ArcGIS 10.1, is set to bring mapping and geospatial analytics to the masses.
One of the most important aspects of this release is that ArcGIS users will be able to deliver any GIS resource, such as maps, imagery, geodatabases, and tools, as a web service.
Kellie Lacey, the Technical Director of Ozri 2011, said the primary theme for ArcGIS 10.1 is sharing and collaboration.
“Users will find that 10.1 makes it simpler to put mapping and geospatial analytics into the hands of more people – including non-GIS experts,” said Ms Lacey.
“With this release, cloud computing—both public and private clouds—will play an increasingly important role in how users get their work accomplished.
“ArcGIS software will take advantage of the scalable, and ubiquitous nature of cloud infrastructures to store and distribute geospatial content.
“Users will be able to easily package their maps and layers and make that content available to staff, stakeholders, partners, or the public via online groups while maintaining complete control and ownership of their content.
“Users will also be able to quickly deploy GIS servers in the cloud when they need them as fully functional production systems for publishing services and supporting desktop, mobile, and web applications.
“Ozri 2011 will provide the Australian GIS community with a close-up insight into some of the new capabilities of 10.1 – and I think people will be able to instantly see the value these changes will deliver to their work.”
Damian Spangrud, Esri Inc's Senior Product Manager for ArcGIS, will be on-hand at the conference and draw on his 17 years experience with the product to provide Ozri attendees with exclusive insights into ArcGIS 10.1 and the future direction of the technology.
