Enterprise GIS Concepts

| Use data in many formats. |
The ArcGIS platform is an enterprise information technology infrastructure that aligns well with the concepts of Network-Centric Operations (NCO)—using a network to connect decision making across multiple defense domains. NCO connects war fighting to strategic intelligence to installation management and is able to seamlessly integrate homeland defense with other internal security activities.
 As a defensewide infrastructure, ArcGIS is simultaneously able to support war fighting missions such as command and control, business missions such as installation management, and strategic intelligence missions such as spatial data production. The re-use of spatial data across a common spatial information infrastructure offers immediate cost savings in addition to important new capabilities.
Interoperability has been engineered into the core enterprise IT platform from the fundamentally open perspective of a cross-platform, multi-DBMS, multiarchitecture information system.
