Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to integrate the ready to use services of Business Analyst Online data and analysis such as service areas, demographics, and POIs into a custom app made on top of ArcGIS enterprise? Ideally the app in enterprise should be able to call upon infographics made through BA Online for different points on the custom app and utilize the network data, demographics, and POI data

Any ideas, documentation, or suggestions to support this process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

Yes, it is possible to integrate the ready-to-use services of Business Analyst Online (BAO) data and analysis into a custom app built on top of ArcGIS Enterprise. By leveraging the capabilities of both BAO and ArcGIS Enterprise, you can enhance your app with valuable data and analysis.

To achieve this integration, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Obtain an ArcGIS Enterprise license: Ensure that you have a valid license for ArcGIS Enterprise, as it is the platform on which your custom app will be built.

  2. Access Business Analyst Online services: Subscribe to Business Analyst Online and obtain the necessary credentials to access its services, including service areas, demographics, and points of interest (POIs).

  3. Configure BAO services in ArcGIS Enterprise: In ArcGIS Enterprise, you can add the BAO services as layers or services to your organization's maps and apps. This can be done using ArcGIS Server Manager or ArcGIS Portal.

  4. Develop the custom app: Build your custom app on top of ArcGIS Enterprise using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript or any other suitable development framework. You can utilize the BAO services and data within your custom app by making requests to the BAO services and integrating the responses into your app's workflows and visualizations.

  5. Utilize BAO infographics: To incorporate infographics created through BAO into your custom app, you can leverage the BAO API to fetch the necessary data and then design and present the infographics within your app's interface.

  6. Leverage network data, demographics, and POI data: Utilize the network data, demographics, and POI data available through BAO in your custom app to perform spatial analysis, display relevant information, and enhance the functionality of your app.
