ArcGIS for Office vs. Purple

Make maps in Microsoft Excel and further the power of ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. ArcGIS Maps for Office puts Excel data in the context of location. Use location intelligence to transform your graphs and charts into interactive maps directly in Microsoft Excel to see data from another perspective. Then, use Microsoft PowerPoint to share your map.

Purple improves the way people connect in the real world. Our identity-based platform runs guest, staff, and multi-tenant WiFi from one place, integrating with the network infrastructure you already have. Guests log in once and become known customers, giving you first-party data you can act on to deepen loyalty and drive revenue. Staff get passwordless, zero trust access that provisions in seconds and revokes automatically when someone leaves, with no shared passwords or MAC whitelisting. Residents and students get their own private network bubble rather than a shared connection.
