COTS GIS for the Web

A Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) GIS solution can save you time by helping you deploy web mapping sites quickly without programming. We offer MapOptix as a companion to help you leverage the power of ArcGIS Server. Contact us today for more information on MapOptix at 877-827-0827. If your GIS data is ready to go, we can have your MapOptix COTS solution up and running in as little as one day. If you have limited staff resources, we can help with installation and configuration based on your specific needs, including all aspects of ArcGIS Server.

With MapOptix, you will get advanced functionality not found in ArcGIS Server right out of the box:

	• Custom Sites Without Programming	Customize the tools, data, and layout that users will see for any number of sites based on their individual needs, all without any programming.
	• Point and Click Administration	Add layers, configure queries, link to external tables, and more all through a simple Administration Console anyone can understand.
	• Seamless Enterprise Integration	Integrate other business systems into your web mapping application through Custom Actions, taking users to external systems with one click. Link to assessor, permitting, and document management systems, as well as popular web services like Bing and Google Maps, all without programming
	• Customized Presentation of Data	Pick and choose which feature attributes are displayed, easily alias your tables, and organize the presentation of data all through a single Administration Console.
	• Link External Database Tables	Integrate non-spatial tables with GIS data for query, buffer, select, drill down, and identify functionality.
	• Local, Knowledgeable Technical Support	MapOptix is supported by its developers. We do not outsource our technical support so you can get problems that come up resolved quickly and efficiently.

The advantage of implementing a COTS GIS solution is the time, resources, and frustration you save. We have done the heavy lifting of programming and integration work for you, allowing you to concentrate on your GIS data and maps, not developing and maintaining your web mapping sites.

MapOptix History

Originally a companion product to ArcIMS for implementing web-based Enterprise GIS solutions quickly, easily, and inexpensively without custom programming, MapOptix is now offered for ArcGIS Server.

The new MapOptix 6.2 features a dramatically improved user interface, simplified administration tools, cross browser support, improved selection set management tools, advanced markup tools, and much more. It provides enhanced administration capabilities, database integration, content management, and advanced query and analytical capabilities.

MapOptix has been continuously improved since 1997, longer than any other product of its kind on the market, and it is fully documented and supported. MapOptix is especially popular among local and state government agencies, where administrators can control content and functionality via secure user profiles, easily managed through one interface. This allows MapOptix to be tailored to meet specific departmental and business needs. The administration side of MapOptix makes it easy to configure distinct profiles which customize access to data layers, tools, and custom actions.

One web based GIS application can satisfy the GIS needs of many of your users, and eliminate the need for separate custom-developed applications that may be found within an organization.
