Desktop GIS includes <br /> many of the more popular functions of the flagship GIS products but omits some of the lesser-used <br /> functions . Desktop GIS is much less expensive than the flagship product. Desktop GIS can be <br /> purchased for an average price of $ 1 , 000 per license . Products such as ArcView have proliferated <br /> throughout local government and have allowed a new, larger group of employees to use the GIS . <br /> If 5 people are using the flagship package , perhaps 30 will be using the desktop version . <br /> ESRI ' s Tier 2 software application has recently migrated from ArcView 3 to ArcView 9 , although <br /> ArcView 3 is still supported . ArcView 3 was much more user-friendly than Arclnfo Workstation , as it <br /> was all menu-driven , as opposed to Arclnfo Workstation ' s command line interface . ArcView 9 is <br /> the least robust and least expensive of the ArcGIS suite . As an ArcGIS product, if uses the same <br /> interface as the Tier 1 one products , Arclnfo and ArcEditor. The primary differences (beside cost) <br /> between ArcView 9 and the Tier 1 products is that ArcView : 1 ) cannot edit coverages, 2 ) can only <br /> use personal geodatabases , 3) has less geoprocessing tools, 4 ) and lacks many database schema <br /> customization tools . <br /> Tier 2 desktop applications still offer more functionality than many users need , and their robust <br /> ' functionality often cause them to run slowly on machines not intended to operate memory <br /> intensive applications . <br /> 280 <br /> GIS Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan Chapter 1 - Departmental GIS Needs Assessments <br />
