Integration with ESRI maps

In addition to using MicroStrategy's free ESRI cloud-based Map visualization, you can also integrate MicroStrategy with on-premises ESRI maps and other cloud-based ESRI maps. This is made possible by a generic mapping services layer in the MicroStrategy architecture that supports integrating the MicroStrategy platform with ESRI maps. You create one or more plug-ins that hold the configuration information needed to support custom integration.

The following sections provide detailed explanations and steps to configure and use a custom ESRI Map visualization to analyze MicroStrategy data in a dashboard or document:
