sdi.suite products complement ArcGIS for INSPIRE from Esri

ArcGIS for INSIPRE is the new product from Esri to provide INSPIRE capabilities. It extends ArcGIS with INSPIRE View Services, Download Services, Discovery Services as well as ready-to-go INSPIRE data models, supporting the rapid and timely construction of INSPIRE-compliant services without needing to change established workflows.

In addition to providing data, metadata and services, INSPIRE also covers further aspects in the areas of data sharing, access control, licensing and monitoring and reporting.

Coinciding with the release of ArcGIS for INSPIRE, the con terra software products securityManager, licenseManager and serviceMonitor have been optimized to integrate seamlessly with ArcGIS for INSPIRE under the label “sdi.suite for ArcGIS for INSPIRE”.
