Desktop GIS

ArcGIS Desktop

ArcGIS Desktop is software that allows you to discover patterns, relationships, and trends in your data that are not readily apparent in databases, spreadsheets, or statistical packages.

Beyond showing you your data as points on a map, ArcGIS Desktop gives you the power to manage and integrate your data, perform advanced analysis, model and automate operational processes, and display your results on professional-quality maps.

Using optional extensions with ArcGIS desktop products allows you to perform extended tasks such as raster geoprocessing and three-dimensional analysis. Unless noted, extensions can be used with ArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcView.
