ArcGIS enables interoperability of all GIS data types, formats, and specifications of data. Users can bring vector and raster data into and out of the system in their format of choice. Many organizations also use ArcGIS to share and work with open data so they can communicate effectively, meet mandated transparency requirements, and enable greater insights. Esri includes open data capabilities at no cost in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Hub.

Data interoperability ensures that you can access and store GIS data types in the formats you already use. ArcGIS works directly with the most common data sources, widely implements open standard formats, and provides the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension for unique transformation needs.
