Introduction
When it comes to solving the problems we face in the world today, we need the best available tools. Often, that means needing to integrate multiple platforms together. Unfortunately, this task can be unnecessarily time-consuming and complicated, especially when specific pieces do not ‘play nicely’ together. Additionally, with the ever-increasing size of data available to analyze and the demand for automated methods to generate the latest results instantly, analysts and data scientists alike are finding their time increasingly stretched thin. ArcGIS seeks to help mitigate these issues by providing a framework for integration between platforms at multiple levels.
