Embed Interactive Maps into SharePoint with Esri's ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint

SharePoint Users Gain Insight into Data by Visualizing it on a Map

Redlands, California—Esri's ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint is now available. ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint is a set of configurable mapping components that enables SharePoint administrators or contributors to embed an interactive map within Microsoft SharePoint. Users of the site can quickly discover and exploit the geographic aspect of their data using an easy-to-understand map and a coordinated geolist.

ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint is supported on Microsoft SharePoint 2010, enabling users to take advantage of the latest SharePoint technology.  The Esri and Microsoft teams have worked together closely to enable both products to launch simultaneously.

ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint applications have access to global imagery and maps from ArcGIS Online or Bing Maps and operational layers such as SharePoint lists, ArcGIS Server services, and SQL Server 2008 data. Configuration is easy through a set of interactive dialog boxes.

ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint is built on the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF and is available at no cost for existing ArcGIS Server customers. Learn more by visiting the ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint Web site at www.esri.com/sharepoint.
