ArcInfo

ArcInfo is the most complete desktop GIS. It includes all the functionality of ArcEditor and ArcView and adds advanced spatial analysis, extensive data manipulation, and high-end cartography tools. Organisations use the power of ArcInfo every day to create, edit, and analyse their data in order to make better decisions, faster.

The key features of ArcInfo are:

Advanced spatial analysis and modeling

Select from hundreds of geoprocessing tools to perform advanced GIS data analysis and modeling.
Perform overlay analysis including Union, Intersect, and Erase.
Perform proximity analysis including Buffer, Near, and Point Distance.
Perform surface analysis including Aspect, Hillshade, and Slope.
Perform raster processing and conversion.

Extensive database management

Create and manage databases, define database schemas, and administer the integrity of databases.
Create personal geodatabases, multiuser geodatabases, and feature datasets.
Apply spatial analysis functions to transfer data into and out of databases.
Publish data in many formats. Join adjacent datasets.
Perform batch processes on your databases.

High-end cartography

Create professional-quality, publication-ready maps with simple wizards, predefined map templates, an extensive suite of map elements, and advanced drawing and symbolisation tools.

Apply cartographic text and labeling for atlaslike, publication-quality maps.
Design customised symbols, thematic categories, and style sheets for your map products.
Reduce manual editing time using intelligent rule-based annotation and label placement.
Use the functionality of the Maplex for ArcGIS extension (included with ArcInfo) for sophisticated annotation and label placement.
