ArcIMS Offers Standards-Based Customization, Integration, and Communication

ArcIMS can be customized and extended using industry-standard Web development environments such as JSP, ASP, .NET, ColdFusion, and others. ArcIMS can be integrated with other technologies in your organization to deliver a complete enterprise solution.

ArcIMS clients and servers communicate using ArcXML, which is a GIS extension to standard Extensible Markup Language (XML). ArcXML also offers an easy way to customize ArcIMS applications.

In addition, ArcIMS users can download free Web Map Services and Web Feature Services connectors that adhere to Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) specifications. Check out the Interoperability Technology Download Center for more details.
