ArcGIS Server for Workgroups?

March 20, 2006 5 Comments

I missed it. I guess Jack said ESRI was looking at ArcGIS Server for Workgroups (or some similar named product). The cost would be about half the price with limitations on the license. I really hope to learn more tomorrow. Anything that reduces the cost of AGS is good news to me.

    I don’t think there’s anything to gain by reminding people of Windows for Workgroups.

    Believe me, I’m sure I got the name wrong. I think ESRI was distracting me in the other room with a Segway so I wouldn’t be there for the announcement. ;)

    James-

    I think he was talking about Workgroup ArcSDE. This is a cheaper version of ArcSDE that runs on Workgroup SQL Server. With this and Personal ArcSDE (which is included for free with ArcEditor), you’ll have three different levesl of ArcSDE to choose from.

    Rich, I was at the session where Jack mentioned the ArcGIS Server Workgroup. It was definetly about ArcGIS Server. I hadn’t heard ESRI mention this before so I’m excited.

    Well, I’m glad that I’m wrong, as many of our clients get scared off by the ArcGIS Server price tag. Please keep us up to date with what you find.

    Nice meeting you at the conference, by the way.
