About ESRI Software
Trends in Cartography
ESRI's vision for cartography and map production is to enable you to perform complex database-driven workflow processes within the same ArcGIS software environment that includes
- A single software environment from data capture to cartographic finishing
- A central enterprise database
- Support for multiple cartographic representations for multiple products
- Intuitive and interactive map editing tools
- A high-quality map production system
Our goal is to allow you to successfully create maps that present geographic data in a clear, precise, and efficient manner. To do this, we have created specialized tools to automate as many standard cartographic processes as possible.
