Open, Scalable, Standards-Based GIS Technology for Your Organisation

ESRI has developed its products based on open standards to ensure a high level of interoperability across platforms, databases, development languages, and applications. ESRI is committed to supporting and actively leading efforts associated with such standards.

Our goal is to make GIS a mainstream technology for facilitating more interoperability and integration with the rest of the IT infrastructure. We envision GIS as an integral part of the coordinated information system, not just a project here and there.
