Now that MapIt has been released, you can now learn more and download it.
MapIt is software and online services that enable you to create simple maps from your enterprise data. MapIt software transforms your data into meaningful information displayed on maps while providing access to a wealth of online data, basemaps, and task services from ESRI and Bing Maps. MapIt is built on the Microsoft platform, enabling organizations to leverage their developers’ skills and IT infrastructure.
We’ll probably learn much more over the next week about MapIt and how it fits in with the ESRI product line. You buy it directly from ESRI and not through resellers or the normal ESRI sales lines. Remember, this is a Microsoft only solution so if you want to work with products outside their “stack“, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

they are going to CHARGE!?!?! for this!?!?! MapDotNet Studio UX is laughing at you ESRI. What a bunch of money grubbers.
What am I missing?

It’s only $700 more isn’t it?
“What am I missing”
The tax payers are most likely picking up the bill if it is a city or municipality that is buying it. MONEY is now tight Ken. Have you read the papers lately? Free wins over in this economy every time.
I wonder what the turn out at the conference was this year? A lot of ESRI users here in California that work for cities/county/state are not going. Cities cannot justify these junket costs anymore when they are cutting hours and letting employees go.
$700 more than Free is still $700.
JW perhaps if you could provide a link to the free produce that does what MapIT does then this will help Ken out. I think Ken is saying that you are comparing apples to oranges.
I don’t get it…
“MapDotNet UX Studio” is the only free product I see from MapDotNet – and the link states that it allows developers to create ‘desktop’ applications.
The description of that product states “These interactive maps can then be shared with others, integrated into desktop applications, or exported to a MapDotNet UX Web Services server where they can be served up for use in enterprise applications.”
MapDotNet UX Web Services server is listed at $3,800.
Again, what am I missing?
(I’m not claiming to be an expert as I have never used any of the MapDotNet products. I just hope that we are comparing apples with apples!)
You’ve got to be kidding. $4500?
I said to myself yesterday…it will be $4000-$5000. Today I find out…I was right.
Is this the new ArcView??
Jack and crew must be taking more lessons from Monkey Boy about confusing, overlapping products and licensing.
By the way can we have a moratorium on the terms “rich, internet apps?” PLEASE!!
Ok how about “Web 2.0 compliant” instead of “rich internet apps”.
Sure that’s way better! Now could you actually define exactly when Web 1.x ended and Web 2.0 started?
