ArcGIS.com Online Screenshot from 03/23/10

ArcGIS.com is now online, with a new look and design, and everyone’s favorite web phrase: “Coming Soon…“. A little bit of searching around the internet reveals some information from Vector1Media regarding a cloud-version of ArcGIS in collaboration with Amazon, providing on-the-go GIS functionality.

This is a dramatic change from the previous functionality of the ArcGIS.com domain, which redirected to the esri.com section about ArcGIS. The Internet Archive has a number of older snapshots available here.

Note that the site is currently only available to ESRI employees, that may actually have to request access too. Curiously, the http://maps.arcgis.com/ domain mentioned in this ESRI Blog entry redirects to the same page, even though the screenshots seem to differ. This of course will be different from ArcGIS Online, which is available now in Beta.
