    • New Add-in for ArcGIS Pro: Facilitates data transfer between Geographics and Pro projects.
• Key Benefits:
  • All previous GIS workflows remain available.
  • Simplified deployment, no extra installations.
  • Seamless integration for data transfer.

Workflow Rewrites and Enhancements

• Native Code Implementation: For workflows like geo-referencing and selecting wells within polygons.
• Field Planning: Entire workflows rewritten using native code.
• Integration with Mapping Services: Connection to WMS, WMTS, RGS online portals etc. using Esri's Maps SDK.
