Technology

The ArcIMS application is customized with Active Server Pages (ASP) using the ActiveX Connector. ASP applications are interpreted on the server generating a browser-friendly page—nothing is downloaded to the client. Since CrimeGIS was developed using ASP, it is a lightweight solution to broadcasting crime information to the Internet.

ArcIMS sets the standard for fast and powerful Internet mapping and geographic information (GIS) tools. ArcIMS is built on cutting edge technology from ESRI—the first company to launch GIS on the World Wide Web.
