- Description
- Annual Renewal of ESRI Higher Education Licensing & Software su pport services. Period of Performance: 1 July 2016 - 30 June 2017. The ESRI is the author and provider for the entire suite of Geographic Information Systems software that includes ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS for Server, ArcGIS Online. Capabilities for all software suite includes Spatial Analysis, Mapping and Visualization, Web-base GIS integration, 3D GIS and analysis, Image Management & Analysis, Real­ Time GIS data visualization, Data management, Geodesign and Big Data filtering. In addition to the entire software suite, the ESRI Higher Education Licensing includes unlimited access to the ESRI Virtual Campus (E-learning), an Enterprise ArcGIS Online (this integrates with ArcGIS Desktop), ESRI User Conference attendance, software maintenance and technical support. Other software available through licensing includes ESRI software development tools such as API for JavaScript, API for Flex, API for Silverlight, Runtime for SDK that allow programming for mobile devices. ArcGIS software has a robust and reliable set of spatial capabilities out of the box and is considered the industry standard. ESRI offers excellent technical support, professional development and has a large user base. Other companies are not capable of providing similar service and support with the software they produce. Other GIS software is limited in scope, capabilities and technical support is limited because of the complexity of GIS software. There is no other product we've examined which comes even close to the breadth of options that are available in ArcMap. This is just one of the software included in ArcGIS Desktop. The capabilities of ArcGIS Server go far beyond what any other companies or software producers are capable of. Comparing the ESRI software suite to other GIS software makers is unfair because it quickly becomes evident that the ESRI has invested are large amount of money and time to not only continually develop capabilities, but to provide excellent support for their products. Founded in 1969, ESRI has 40.7% of the global market share it employs 3,000, is debt-free and still operated by the original founders. Large numbers of companies, government organizations, educational institutions, have deployed ESRI software "en masse" because ESRI is well known for investing in GIS technology and the future use of geospatial information. Their support for users is unmatched and unprecedented. Their software is reliable, sound, easy to use and time tested.
