At 10.2, the server capability gets enhanced, but also making ArcGIS Online available on-premise. The enhancements are improved quality and some new enterprise integration tools to make security tighter. Also, better administrative tools, and support for some new databases like Teradata and IBM Netezza. And we're also working closely with SAP to support HANA at some point in the future. Portal for ArcGIS makes your own server like ArcGIS Online. It implements the content management aspect of ArcGIS Online, it allows you to make your own web maps on-premise, and it also supports these new, cool apps that are coming out. This allows you to implement online, on-premise.
ArcGIS apps empower everyone. These apps include common functions that we do in GIS like viewing and query and editing, and even analytics. But there are new kinds of apps that extend GIS into other areas. For example, geoawareness, like the dashboard app. Or, location analytics like the Microsoft Office app that puts maps inside of your spreadsheets. And then there's story maps. Thousands of these apps will emerge over the next year, and they will enable you to extend the power of GIS.In a couple of months, we're going to support a new marketplace. This is like the Apple App Store for GIS users and Esri partners to share and download and use different kinds of apps. ArcGIS Online is a completely SaaS solution. That means software as a service. But it's also a complement to your on-premise systems, which is the way that most of you are using it. You have your main system, and then you use some online. I think hybrid approaches are exactly the way of the future.

Which, is not just in the cloud, it can also be on-premise. So think about the workflow alteration. Who's going to be using this? It's a new kind of approach for GIS. Interactive, real-time, et cetera.
ArcGIS is already a strong image platform. It has dozens and dozens of tools. We came from an age when there was image processing and there was GIS. And over the last few years, you've seen us integrate image processing right into the platform—it's part of the platform. At 10.2, we integrate something new, which is intelligent imagery on the web. What that means is, in a browser I could actually do image processing with no software locally, and I've figured it out so I can bring it in at the bandwidth that I have. Meaning in a remote place, I can have little bandwidth and then later, bring in the full picture.At 10.2, we also support new tools on the desktop for being able to do image discovery, and on the server as well. And supporting this idea of image intelligence is the idea I can do a pop-up, point as a pixel, and it pops up all the multispectral information that's there. At 10.2 we also are supporting a number of new sensors like Landsat 8 and SPOT 6 and a half a dozen others. We’re introducing premium services. We've worked very carefully with our partners to introduce not real-time imagery, but as close as you can get to it. Digital Globe, for example. Also, AccuWeather is providing near real-time weather and storm predictions. RapidEye, who has synoptic image coverage for the whole planet every couple weeks at five meters, also has some great services.
