SkyWatch, a member of the Esri Partner Network, has gained a deep understanding of the Esri ecosystem and has worked collaboratively with ArcGIS customers to understand the requirements for accessing and using geospatial content in their workflows. SkyWatch released an add-in for ArcGIS Pro in May 2023, and the launch of Content Store for ArcGIS, a web application built on and deeply integrated with ArcGIS, offers a world-class user experience and unlocks additional functionality for ArcGIS customers, including authentication with ArcGIS credentials, the ability to use existing layers from My Content, My Organization, and Living Atlas to search for content, and seamless publishing of imagery layers for easy sharing and analysis within ArcGIS.
SkyWatch Content Store will initially provide very high-resolution (10-30cm) and high-resolution (50-70cm) archive data from leading providers, including Airbus, Planet, Satellogic, and Urban Sky, with tasking, vector content, and derived data products on the roadmap for later this year.
SkyWatch Content Store for ArcGIS is powered by the SkyWatch platform, which provides a core suite of platform services, including ordering and payments, identity management across SkyWatch applications, policy enforcement, and location services.
