Mapping software ArcGIS for Microsoft

reportingdata managementautomation

Product overview
ArcGIS for Microsoft integrates geospatial data and location services into Microsoft platforms to deliver mapping, visualization, spatial analysis, automation, and geospatial application development capabilities directly inside Microsoft 365, Microsoft Fabric, and the Microsoft Power Platform. It enables users to visualize location context in familiar Microsoft experiences and to incorporate spatial analysis into business workflows.

Benefits

• Enriches Microsoft workflows with location intelligence to improve business decisions and reporting.
• Provides mapping and visualization tools embedded in Microsoft apps so users can see where things are and how they connect.
• Enables no-code/low-code spatial automation for Power Automate to streamline processes without heavy IT or development effort.
• Extends application functionality with location services and SDKs for developers building desktop and mobile geospatial apps.
• Supports cross-platform spatial data collaboration so teams can work with geospatial content inside Microsoft environments.
• Supports secure sharing and access control through identity and role enforcement.

Key integrations

• ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 — spatial analytics and apps embedded into Microsoft 365 applications.
• ArcGIS for Microsoft Fabric — mapping and geospatial analytics integrated with Microsoft Fabric and Apache Spark for large-scale spatial analysis and incorporation into Power BI reporting.
• ArcGIS for Power Platform — connectors and no-code/low-code tools to add geospatial capabilities into Power Automate and other Power Platform components.
• ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET — tools and APIs to build 2D and 3D mapping applications for .NET platforms (including .NET MAUI, WinUI, WPF) that work online and offline.
• ArcGIS Enterprise on Microsoft Azure and ArcGIS Pro on Azure Virtual Desktop — deployment options for scalable, secure, self-hosted cloud infrastructure and virtual desktop delivery.

Capabilities

• Mapping and interactive visualization (2D and 3D).
• Spatial analysis, pattern detection, and geospatial data science at scale (including Apache Spark in Fabric).
• Geocoding, geofencing, routing, and navigation.
• Offline capabilities for field and mobile scenarios.
• Data enrichment with lifestyle, spending, and demographic datasets.
• No-code/low-code workflow automation via ArcGIS connectors for Power Automate.
• Developer SDKs for building custom geospatial applications.

Data enrichment and content

• Supports integration of diverse geospatial data types and services, including contextual demographic and lifestyle data to enhance analysis and decisions.

Deployment & scalability

• Supports cloud deployments on Microsoft Azure and Azure Virtual Desktop for ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise.
• Enables large-scale spatial analytics through Microsoft Fabric (Apache Spark) integration.

Security & access

• Leverages role-based access and identity management to control who can view, edit, and share geospatial assets within Microsoft environments.
• User type licensing is used to provide access to ArcGIS capabilities and to enable specific connectors and apps.
