ESRI Australia's annual OZRI Conference was held in Darwin, Australia on Monday 31st August 2009. Members from ESRI Australia presented "The Road Ahead for ArcGIS 9.4" - a session which discussed and demonstrated the key functionalities being planned for ArcGIS 9.4. This document lists some of the key functionalities demonstrated.

As ArcGIS 9.4 is still in development, the information below is by no means definitive and is subject to change without notice. A special thankyou to ESRI Australia for their very informative presentation.

ArcGIS 9.4


Installation


ArcMap



Geoprocessing


Editing


ArcGIS Server



Comes with a “Clip and Ship” Delivery Service. This means users can clip out an area in a published map (on a website) and request to download the clipped area as shapefiles (within a zip file) 

Editing of attribute data is now “on the fly”. That is attribute changes are now saved in .mxd file. The .mxd file pushes the change back into the Geodatabase on ArcGIS Server

Image Server


ArcGIS Future Platforms



ArcGIS Mobile
