arcIms to arcgis Migration/Conversion

ArcIMS was once a quality program that served a great purpose. However, these days it has fallen behind the times. GIS software has been able to make incredible technological advancements, allowing for a faster, easier, and more user-friendly experience. ArcGIS is on the cusp of those advacements.

Unlike ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server is a complete Web 2.0 GIS server that offers modern Internet applications support (including mashups). What does that mean for you? Better maps, dynamic GIS analysis, flawless IT integration. And not only does the performance and quality of ArcGIS Server exceed that of ArcIMS, it is easier to implement, manage, and support. With today's technology, there should be no limitations on the speed and ease of your user experience. Thanks to ArcGIS, there are no limitations in sight.

With ArcIMS, each time the user panned, zoomed or otherwise needed to update the map, an absurdly long process followed: the request was sent to the sever, the server had get the data, draw the map, then send the finished map image  back to the client, who is wasting time in front of a loading screen. With ArcGIS Server, the process is almost instant – no more long waits for the map to refresh. Most maps are cached – meaning they are pre-rendered, and don't require any server processing - so they load fast, and are seamless to the user. Finally, you and your users can enjoy the quality, speed, and performance akin to Google Maps standards – all when your migrate your applications from ArcIMS to ArcGis.

Take a look at some Live User Sites below to see how organizations are using ArcGIS Server for public-facing sites. Pay special attention to the speed and quality of the maps. If you listen closely enough, you might just be able to hear the data singing.
