ArcView, version 3.3

Description

A user-friendly Geographic Information System (GIS) software that performs many of the functions previously only handled by more complex and expensive GIS programs. ArcView 3.x performs complex spatial and database analyses and allows integration of data from many different platforms into one seamless view. Data are interchangeable with ArcGIS and CAD software. The program allows users to visualize, tabulate, chart and layout GIS data and creates new spatial data in the ESRI "Shape File" format.

Used for: Creating, visualizing, querying and analyzing spatial data.

Used by: Regulatory or AML specialists, or managers working with maps and database applications in the ArcGIS environment.
