Innovation The Push and Pull at ESRI September 2004 Kevin Daugherty Cadastral/Land Records Industry Solutions Manager
The Push and The Pull The Push is the information technology that drives research and development at ESRI. The Pull is the moving of our GIS technology users to new levels.
The Driving Forces of Innovation User driven we listen Technology driven we follow Competition driven we compete Experience drive we work on projects
Users Features and functionality Specific data or datum support Integration Applications Usability
Technology New platforms workstations New processors RISC; 64-bit New Operating Systems Unix; OS/2; Linux; Windows to more Windows New Databases and database features SQL Server; Access; DB2; Informix; Oracle and Oracle Spatial New Data Models industry templates
More Technology New programming languages Visual Basic; C++; Java;.Net; Python New hardware configurations minicomputers and terminals> servers and workstations> servers and desktops> servers and fat clients> servers and thin client> application servers
More Technology The Web http, html, SOAP, UDDI; Web Application Servers (IIS, WebSphere, WebLogic,, Apache) Mobile devices GPS data collectors; PDAs; ; mobile phones; AVL units Integration DDE; DLL; API Standards ISO, OGC, etc.
