What is Business Analyst Web App?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Business Analyst Web App is a web-based application that applies GIS technology to extensive demographic, consumer spending, and business data to deliver on-demand analysis and presentation-ready infographics, reports, and maps. With Business Analyst Web App, you can understand and compare communities to make better, more informed, data-driven decisions. By using the <\/span>thousands of variables available<\/span><\/a> in Business Analyst Web App, you can analyze specific locations, geographic areas, or custom regions you create on the map, then relay critical information and analyses to others using maps, infographics, and reports.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between Business Analyst Web App Standard and Advanced?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are two types of Business Analyst Web App licenses: Standard and Advanced. The Standard license allows you to view maps, apps, information products, and infographics that you can share with other users. The Advanced license additionally allows you to perform advanced analysis, create custom reports and infographic templates, use your own custom data, and share to ArcGIS Storymaps and ArcGIS Dashboards. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","content":"

Many organizations<\/span> have a mix of Standard and Advanced license users.
