This program offers the possibility making the map design as usual in the ArcGIS Desktop GIS. A configuration file for UMN MapServer can be generated at the touch of a button. UMN MapServer provides the MXD project as an OGC-compliant WMS or WFS service. This provides a simple yet cost-effective way to publish existing spatial data including design requirements as WMS / WFS service. "The realization of such a tool helps us tremendously in creation of OGC-compliant WMS services based on UMN MapServer. The usual work on the desktop with ArcGIS remains unaffected and the benefits of the fast UMN MapServer can be used easily for intranet/internet representation.", explains J?rg Gerdes, Head of IT of the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) in Hamburg/Germany.
