ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) for working with maps and geographic information operated by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri). It is used for creating and using maps, collecting geographic data, analyzing mapped information, sharing and discovering geographic information, using maps and geographic information in a range of applications, and managing geographic information in a database.

The system provides an infrastructure for making maps and geographical information available throughout an organization.
