13 Enterprise Requires Interoperability 25 ESRI Reference Implementation A Strategic Business Initiative A reference implementation is a software example of a standard for use in helping others implement their own versions of the standard. A standard is much easier to understand with a working example in hand. The purpose of the ESRI Enterprise GIS Reference Implementation (RI) is to: Develop, document and demonstrate Enterprise GIS based on ArcGIS technologies in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Instantiate a persistent enterprise level IT architecture representative of those our major customers are pursuing Raise customer confidence in ESRI software as an enterprise platform for geospatially centric and geospatially enabled business requirements... To Benefit Customers Across All Vertical Markets 26 13

14 Reference Implementation Business Objectives A Strategic Business Initiative 1. Provide a persistent enterprise framework for designing, developing, evaluating, and demonstrating best practices for Enterprise GIS 2. Follow emerging trends and industry best practices in achieving SOA; document discovered best practices for achieving Enterprise GIS within SOA environment 3. Provide an environment for education,, problem solving, and solution development for ESRI customers 4. Facilitate feedback to software development: How our customers are using our software within SOA Validate the correct functioning of ESRI software within SOA Discover errors or ambiguities in the specification; assist our customers in navigating through these issues... To Establish Enterprise GIS Best Practices and Community CollaborationC 27 Through The RI Strategic Business Initiative ESRI Is Evolving ArcGIS Many Functionality Enhancements (Mapping, Visualization, Analysis & Data Management) Server Based supporting supporting SOA Vision ESRI Is Committed to Supporting Open Standards, Interoperability and Multiple Technology Platforms (e.g. Oracle Spatial) ArcGIS Can Improve Mission Productivity and Effectiveness Workflow, Tradecraft, Integration, Analysis, Decision MakingM ESRI Reference Implementation is a Community Resource Industry Participation Collaboration Solutions-based Approach Best Practices A Tangible Sample... ESRI is Committed to Supporting Transformations 28 14

15 ESRI Product Strategy Develop Generic GIS Components... ArcGIS ArcGIS Frameworks Frameworks Embedded Mobile Server and deploy them in multiple products Desktop ArcObjects 29 Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Examples Geographically Enable Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Customer Information System (CIS) Call Center Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Logistics Human Resources (HR) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) Many others 30 15

16 Approach to the GIS Market ESRI provides a generic platform or information system for dealing with geographical information and processes. ESRI offers a single scalable architecture with multiple complimentary products based on industry standards for both end users and developers. 31 Why BML? Consistent, precise, accurate, timely communications Provides for machine enhanced operations Leverage technology trends (our opposition will even if we don t) BML enabled environment provides timely status To help the Warfighter 32 16

17 Why GeoBML Terrain is an integrating element we all move on it or with respect to it Physical and logistical constraints become apparent Geographic Common Operating Pictures BML that interacts with GIS Geo-Validation of orders Richer planning tools, with multiple views Commonality with Modeling and Simulation train train as you fight, fight as you train 33 Because Everything is Somewhere Tracks Intercepts Headquarters Sensors Communication Nodes Vehicles Weapon Systems Video Warfighters Control Measures Images Returns Reports Fuel Terrain Spares Maps Routes 34 17

18 Not Just Where Where will? When? How far? What? How to? Why? Enemy Infantry Company is assessed to be guarding Scud Missile launchers How? Enemy Infantry Company identified by J2 35 Geodata make this possible Providing a consistent abstraction for all battlespace entities 36 18

19 Analyzing and Visualizing Geographic Networks Representing Geography as Schematic Diagrams Critical Infrastructure Many Applications New Diagram Types Overlapping Link Layout Utility Networks Map Selection Schematic Design New Ways to See & Analyze Relationships 37 Requirements Common, interoperable language Common Tool sets Well designed functionality High resolution, high fidelity data Operational Agility Interoperability Security Scalability Reliability Design so that it is enabling, not constraining 38 19

20 How does ESRI currently support BML development Common tools CJMTK Server Geoprocessing Applications Military Analyst MOLE Better data Integrated Geodata production Appliances Integration SOA support IT standards Interoperability tools and standards Support for Operational systems and Simulation Support for the same trends that bring about BML 39 Conclusion There are many missions, but one geography Geography is an integrating approach Surf the large technology trends when you design Work together to bring clarity 40 20
