ArcGIS 9.3.1 Author, publish, and use geographic knowledge High-quality maps 3D visualizations Planning and analysis Data management workflows Authoritative content Image management Rich Web applications Dissemination of information Real-time decision making in the field Consumers Casual Users Citizens Knowledge Workers Mobile Workers Distributed Web Services GIS Workers Enterprise Systems GIS Professionals

Key Themes of ArcGIS 9.3.1 High-performance dynamic maps Better sharing of geographic information Easy access to more online content Easy installation More resources to make you successful Continued improvements in quality and scalability

High-Performance Dynamic Maps New optimized map service New tools for tuning maps

Faster Web Mapping New optimized map service Significantly faster than ArcGIS 9.3 Outperforms equivalent ArcIMS services Produces attractive, high-performing Web maps Shortens map caching time

New Tools to Optimize Maps in ArcMap Tune up your map documents Analyze maps and produce recommendations for tuning. Preview your map document and estimate draw time. Directly publish your maps from ArcMap to ArcGIS Server.

Creating Highly Scalable and Performing Map Services Wisely combining cached and dynamic services Combine basemaps and operational data. Cache as appropriate. Web maps are not the same as desktop maps. Reuse services. Cached Dynamic + Dynamic Great opportunity to migrate ArcIMS users to ArcGIS Server Avoid the ‘ArcIMS mindset’. Help users understand cached + dynamic Let users learn by example: showcase existing ArcGIS Server sites Exploit map services in web browsers and Desktop applications

Enhanced Web User Experiences Rich Internet applications ArcGIS APIs Powerful developer APIs for building rich user experiences on top of ArcGIS Server services Lightweight APIs for quick development Very fast and scalable Extended support for Microsoft developers New ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight

Direct Access to Microsoft Virtual Earth Services Global basemap seamlessly integrated with ArcGIS Up-to-date, multiscale basemap (aerial imagery, roads, hybrid) Included at no cost with ArcGIS Desktop as part of maintenance Free, built-in 90-day evaluation for ArcGIS Server Quick-start GIS projects with ready-to-use content

Easy to Install Don’t need to uninstall ArcGIS 9.3 Easy to work in mixed environments of ArcGIS 9.3 and ArcGIS 9.3.1 Geodatabases, map documents, and APIs did not change.
