ArcGIS Online

ArcGIS Online is a complete cloud-based mapping platform that allows you to create and share maps and apps with anyone. ArcGIS Online is scalable and secure software-as-a-service (SaaS) that features ready-to-use maps, data, and apps. You can deploy solutions and be productive right away, on whatever device you use—desktops, browsers, smartphones, or tablets.

ArcGIS Online

ArcGIS Online lets you:

Deploy apps for everyone

Anyone can benefit from location-based information, from field workers to executives to your customers, contractors, and citizens. ArcGIS Online comes with mapping apps and tools that make it easy to share your work. You also get app builders so you can create your own apps.

Access ready-to-use maps

ArcGIS Online includes the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, comprised of authoritative maps and data on thousands of topics. You can use basemaps, imagery, and data-driven maps to explore information about people and businesses, landscapes and climate, transportation, and more.

Deliver self-service mapping

With ArcGIS Online, anyone can create maps that help you improve the way you monitor your operations, assign resources, and make decisions. Smart mapping lets you easily style maps in the way that best suits the underlying data. You can even display data in 3D to see it in its real-world context. Once you’ve created your maps, you can share them with internal staff to improve their work, or with the public to increase transparency and promote collaboration.

Perform analytics

ArcGIS Online provides spatial analytics tools that let anyone in your organisation explore data and gain location-based insights. You can use these analysis tools to understand and compare places, find the best locations and routes, detect and quantify patterns, and make informed predictions. You can then apply the insights you gain through your analysis and improve decision making across your organisation.

Manage your organisation

You can use ArcGIS Online with confidence while giving your users what they need to get their job done. ArcGIS Online administration tools include all the capabilities you need to control and manage people and content. You can assign custom user roles and privileges, manage licenses and content, and view your system’s health status.

Take advantage of solutions for your industry

ArcGIS Online provides hundreds of industry-specific maps, apps, and platform configurations to help you quickly deploy the capabilities you need. These configurable resources are available for a range of industries including local and state government, emergency management, utilities, parks and gardens, telecommunications, military, and intelligence.

Keep your data secure

ArcGIS Online is designed as a secure system with controlled access. Esri has aligned ArcGIS Online with regulations, standards, and best practices governing security and privacy.

Develop custom apps

ArcGIS Online provides tools that let you build web, mobile, and desktop apps for any device, regardless of your developer experience. You can create apps using ArcGIS APIs, SDKs, and app builders, or choose from a variety of configurable apps. No matter how you choose to make them, your apps can deliver valuable content and services from ArcGIS Online to your users.

ArcGIS Online delivers a complete distributed GIS in the cloud

Because ArcGIS Online is hosted by Esri, you do not have to manage any infrastructure or hardware. Instead, when you create content with an ArcGIS app, you can publish that content to ArcGIS Online and make it immediately available to other users. ArcGIS Online automatically scales to meet peak periods of demand. In this way, ArcGIS Online lets you share location-based insights throughout your organisation, helping your staff improve the way they work and make better decisions.
