InfoTech Enterprises Europe, an ESRI (UK) business partner, is pleased to announce that it is now offering users of ArcGIS 8.1 the chance to make huge savings in terms of time, effort and money.

The latest release of ArcGIS has seen fundamental changes to the structure of the software, and to role of the Avenue programming language. Prior to this release Avenue was used to customize ArcGIS, however the introduction of ArcGIS 8.1 has changed this.

With ArcGIS 8.1 users can instead add custom functionality by writing macros in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and developers can create extensions for ArcGIS 8.1 using ArcObjects™ in standard development environments such as Visual Basic, C++, or Delphi, but Avenue code is no longer recognised. Because of this fundamental change users who upgrade to ArcGIS 8.1 stand to lose all the extra functionality they have added to their existing ArcGIS applications using Avenue. The hours of time and effort spent tailoring the package to suit individual needs could easily be rendered useless.

InfoTech Enterprises Europe provides an ideal solution that allows users of ArcGIS 8.1 to retain all their Avenue-written functionality. Utilising the skills of a newly created and highly skilled team, InfoTech Enterprise Europe is able to offer a translation service that allows users to benefit from all of the new features contained within ArcGIS 8.1, whilst retaining the specialised functionality which they themselves have painstakingly added over the past months and years.

In taking existing Avenue code and translating it into a format recognised by ArcGIS 8.1 InfoTech Enterprises Europe is able to offer a vital service that stands to save users a huge amount of time and money that would otherwise have to be spent on the re-education of programmers and the endless re-programming of functionality.

In addition to this translation service InfoTech Enterprises Europe also provides comprehensive training for ArcGIS 8.1, providing users with the knowledge of how to benefit most from the new functionality contained within this latest edition.

InfoTech Enterprises Europe is a leading provider of GIS, e-solutions and engineering services, based in London and Manchester with associate offices across Europe, North America, Asia and with a worldwide partner network. InfoTech Enterprises Europe is able to offer both onshore and offshore services and development whilst providing committed onshore responsibility and management.
