Connect for ArcGIS is an easy-to-use extension for users of ArcGIS web mapping applications, allowing your users to surface information and interact with your business systems via a map-driven interface. 

Using the Connect for ArcGIS widget, ArcGIS application authors can provide capabilities for users to view data that is retrieved in real-time from third-party applications and databases based on feature selections on a web map, launch business systems directly from a map feature, and generate reports combining information from both the map and your applications.
