WebOffice: Extend ArcGIS, costum WebGIS Software

With WebOffice you extend the WebGIS of Esri with additional configuration options and customized user interfaces (clients). In doing so, you benefit from extended functions that have arisen from many years of project experience with our customers.

Advantages at a glance The following requirements are highlighted by our customers as particularly important:

Functional added value

You use all functions, clients, apps,... of ArcGIS PLUS WebOffice and benefit at the same time from its targeted administrative, functional and integrative additional developments.

Time saving

You reduce your know-how requirements, reduce the administrative effort and thus have more time for content-related and analytical work.

Risk minimization

You are using a product maintained for future releases for enterprise use. In this way you benefit from financial and functional planning security compared to an individual project solution.

Extend and customize workflows WebOffice is a WebGIS optimized for your requirements. Some important workflows that take advantage of these benefits:

Maintain and administer WebGIS functions centrally
One of our biggest advantages is the efficient administration of WebGIS projects in WebOffice author. There you complete numerous workflows without programming knowledge by assistant:
- Set Up Search: On topics, tables or as full text search
- Define identifiable and selectable topics
- Setting up editing configurations
- Add map services
- Customize print templates: Function fields, scales, standard values,...
- Control access rights across projects
With over 1500 generic parameters you can customize your WebGIS. All WebGIS projects are centrally managed, configurations are stored in XML format and can be used across projects. With staging support, you transfer changes from the development system to a production system (and vice versa).
Offer real multilingualism

WebOffice projects can be set up completely multilingual in all details: From the client GUI to the selection text for saved queries to multilingual attribute lists for identify functions.

When logging in, each end user decides in which language WebOffice communicates - including Arabic from right to left. Names are automatically translated into a desired target language using the Microsoft Translator.
Operating high-end plot functions
Template-based plotting is part of the ArcGIS standard. Based on requirements known from the desktop area, we have extended these functions:
- Place plot frames freely in the browser window
- Index plots along selected line elements
- Integrating Layouted Tables
- Integrate user-defined reference systems
- Integrate user-specific information such as LDAP attributes, logos, etc.
Additional software interfaces: Integrate external systems, use standard formats
Direct integration possibilities from and for other systems is a strength of WebOffice. Numerous geo-standards, file/web data formats and all market-leading database systems are supported:
- Connect other web applications or data from databases
- Extensions in the OGC WM(T)S support
- Esri Basemaps, OSM Data, Bing(R) Maps
- URL-call interface; APIs for client control, tools, services
- A fully integrable client component (see map widget)

Advanced user management: Refined control of access rights

The ability to fine-tune access rights across all levels of detail gives the administrator the necessary control and security. In WebOffice, access to services, layers, queries, print templates or tools can be defined as an extension of the server standard for roles and users. Users can (if allowed) save their own queries/selections across sessions and access them on any computer.

Optionally, you can integrate common repositories such as LDAP, Microsoft Active Directory®, Novell eDirectory® or Sun Directory Server® directly, for example to implement "Single Sign On" procedures.

You are using your ArcGIS Server together with a Portal for ArcGIS installation? Then you will also find its Named User authorization scheme fully supported in WebOffice.
Browser-based editing & construction

Open editing and design functions for your users directly in the browser, which are otherwise reserved for the desktop. This includes catch functions, configurable editing tasks, convenient editing of factual data tables and more - all with intuitive handling.

Editing functions can be combined with advanced access control - so you decide who can and may do what!
Present professionally with your own reports

Use WebOffice Reporting as data integration platform and presentation medium. Create meaningful documents that link geographic data and analyses with company data from different"pots" on the server side. And use these analyses everywhere - even on the move.

Here WebOffice scores as an interface to external data sources! These reports are defined via an intuitive graphical GUI - and the reusability of defined templates.
Use optimized workflows also in Esri products

Existing Esri products are optimally supported, such as by exporting a WebOffice project configuration to an ArcGIS WebMap.

You can easily change documents (reports, logs, photos,...) in your structure, WebOffice automatically adapts these changes in the geo databases. This means that current documents are always available in both WebGIS and ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro. Erroneous and deviating path references are thus a thing of the past.
