Tech Transfer 2007 - ESRI South Asia - 11 January 2007 - Malaysia

Next week on the 11th ... Thursday I believe... we are having the ArcGIS 9.2 Rollout technical sessions. Many of you have already received the ArcGIS 9.2 DVDs and wondering... What's New?? Well there are a lot of changes... super major changes.

Basically over the last 4 years ESRI has been developing this 9.2 version in 3 major areas:
1. Cartographics Representation
2. Geodatabase
3. ArcGIS GUI and User Experience

Cartography has been an area no GIS vendor dare venture... but now ESRI is the first to develop a cartographic product for the commercial GIS industry. This has always been the final map production development headache for many GIS organisations. ESRI has another product called PLTS to do cartography before but with 9.2... cartography in GIS is complete.

There is a totally new Geodatabase in 9.2!!! High Precision geodatabase and new formats with better performance is provided in this version. Geodatabase has come a long way and now with this new geodatabase many users will be VERY happy to know there is no more cursing... over domains, extents, precisions, performance and tolerances etc.

From the feedback ESRI received from users, their own staff as well as projects all over the world.. the software now has incorporated many new cool tools, GUI features, shortcuts and ease of use. This is due to the ever increasing demand among users for better productivity when using any of the ArcGIS software range. Very cool.

Its free .. so come and see for yourself.
