Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI)

ArcGIS is an integrated collection of GIS software products developed by ESRI. The ArcGIS framework enables users to deploy GIS functionality and business logic in desktops, servers (including the Web) and mobile devices. This architecture, coupled with the geodatabase, gives users the tools to assemble intelligent geographic information systems.
