New products and tools, advanced functionality, increased productivity … This is just a small part of ArcGIS 10.3

Building on the Tools You Already Have

In addition to a long list of performance enhancements and new solution offerings to help you get up and running, we’re adding a fast, modern experience to your desktop applications. Side by side with ArcMap, you can use the new ArcGIS Pro. It’s efficient, has an intuitive display, supports multiple layouts, and is a step toward the future of desktop GIS.

3D – Improve Your Understanding of the World

Esri is making it simple to view and share 3D content with others, helping you author 3D views that communicate complex information, and allowing you to share that message online using web scenes. You can begin creating global and landscape-scale web scenes with the 10.3 release. Coming later, you will be able to create city- and campus-scale web scenes, and view them on mobile devices.

Apps Are Where It’s At!

There’s a good chance you’re reading this text on a smartphone or tablet. To help you put GIS in front of your users in a way that fits with today’s workflows and lifestyles, we are busily adding more apps and enhancing the ones you may already have. For example, the new Explorer for ArcGIS app offers a new way to discover, use, and share maps as well as brief stakeholders.

Take Your Development to New Places

We are improving how developers work with maps across the ArcGIS platform and helping them push the boundary of code. The evolution of our SDKs, APIs, and other development tools continue to support developers who build apps for today’s modern computing platforms. You can quickly add location to your applications by using the web API or native SDK of your choice, then deploy your app across any device.

Geographic Insight into Your Business

No matter where you are or what device or business system you’re using, ArcGIS will help you develop an enterprise location strategy. With easy-to-use yet extremely powerful analytics at your fingertips, you can quickly discover vital information hidden in your tabular data about your customers, competition, assets, and communities that allows you to make more informed and effective decisions.
