Business Analyst
So many business decisions are driven by "where." Where should I locate my new store, warehouse, or office? Where is my competition? Where do my target customers live? Where should I offer premium vs. standard services?
Esri Business Analyst is a complete system for analyzing data to reveal insights and patterns in your business. You can perform deep analysis of demographic and consumer data and combine it with your own data to gain greater understanding of your customers, competition, market, and trends. Business Analyst can be configured to share data, analyses, and insights throughout your entire organization.
There are mainly two ways to use ArcGIS Business Analyst: Business Analyst Web App and ArcGIS Business Analyst Pro (extension)
Business Analyst Web App
Business Analyst Web App can be used for creating reports, maps, and custom analyses. It integrates ArcGIS Online and provides full access to content, sharing, and apps. Your work in Business Analyst Web App will consume Esri ArcGIS Online credits and requires you to have an Clemson's ArcGIS Online Organization account.
Business Analyst Pro Extension
1. ArcGIS Business Analyst Pro
You do not need to install any extensions to use Business Analyst on ArcGIS Pro. To use the Business Analyst extension, all you need is your ArcGIS Online account. Here at Clemson University, we have given the Business Analyst license to all of our ArcGIS Online members by default. Watch this video to make sure you have the license. You will still need to install the Business Analyst data if you want to use it on your own machine without consuming ArcGIS Online credits (step 2 below).
2. Downloading and installing the Business Analyst Data 20XX
You can save ArcGIS Online credits by using locally installed Business Analyst Data. To download and install Business Analyst Data, please follow the instructions (right).
If you cannot install Business Analyst Data locally but want to save the use of ArcGIS Online credits, please use a GIS lab computer in Cooper Library Room 412, which already have Business Analyst Data installed.
