The next chapter of ArcGIS

Built on legacy, designed for the future

Since the release of ArcGIS Desktop, GIS technology has evolved, and so have the complex challenges it helps address.

To continue progressing and problem-solving with a geographic approach, we’re retiring ArcGIS Desktop, including ArcMap and ArcCatalog, and migrating to updated user types—a role-based licensing model that provides access to advanced functionality and insights through ArcGIS Pro.

Trusted tools, reimagined

The next generation of GIS tools live in ArcGIS Pro, now with cloud integration and enhanced functionality for robust geospatial analysis.

Unrivaled capabilities

ArcGIS Pro hosts a powerful and dynamic set of geospatial capabilities that combine within ArcGIS to form a comprehensive geospatial platform.

Enhanced security

Reduce cybersecurity risks by using named licenses and ensuring you have access to the latest updates.

Your feedback inspired this change

Advanced capabilities, reduced complexity, improved collaboration

Empower your team with secure, flexible access to ArcGIS—anytime, anywhere, on any device. Customer feedback led to advancements in the technology, making ArcGIS Pro the premier desktop solution.

It also inspired updated user types, which bundle previously separate content, capabilities, and apps. Role-based access allows you to scale effortlessly as your organizational needs grow.
