KEYNOTE Understanding Web GIS One of the key ideas of the Esri Geospatial Cloud is the Web GIS pattern: that all members of an organization can easily access and use geographic information within a collaborative environment. Web GIS leverages existing GIS investments and makes them discoverable and more accessible. It provides a platform for integrating GIS with other business systems and promotes cross-organizational collaboration. Consequently, Web GIS extends the reach of GIS to everyone in an organization, enabling better decision-making.
