At the remote site, Transporter opens the package file, creates the data files and corrects pathnames automatically. The ArcView user at the receiving location can immediately bring the component into ArcView using Eagle's ViewPoint extension. By using Transporter to share data, you can improve your firm's productivity by reducing the time spent duplicating work at different locations. It eliminates the time spent updating pathnames after moving a project and data files between systems. Experienced users can build pre-symbolized templates to distribute to more casual users.
Transporter is ideal for sharing data on corporate wide area networks.
Externally, it can be used to send ArcView components and data to and from suppliers, customers, regulatory agencies, and business partners. Since it captures both the graphic components and the associated data, it is an excellent data archival tool. Project specific data to support business decisions can be archived with Transporter, providing a snapshot of not only the maps produced but also the data behind the maps.
