ESRI is committed to building open and interoperable commercial off-the-shelf software products.

For more than 25 years, ESRI has built open and interoperable commercial off-the-shelf software products. We have always been, and continue to be, keen advocates of the need for open access to geographic data and software functionality using widely adopted, practical standards.

Our current products have appropriate open application programming interfaces and support key data interchange formats and Web services standards for ensuring relevant GIS and IT interoperability between systems over wired and/or wireless networks.
