Using ESRI GIS for maps and assets layers

Hi

Firstly apologies, I am brand new to Liferay (I hadn't heard of when I woke this morning) but have been asked about the posibility of using our GIS Platform (ESRI) as a basis for any map windows. The system we are looking to replace allows information to be captured when points and areas are clicked, so this is pretty much all it would need to do.

My question is, does anyone else do this and is there any methodology or best practise I could be directed to

well. Google Maps and Openstreetmap are integrated. I haven't looked at the way they are integrated (and you might need a different kind of integration), but if your use case matches that of the built-in map implementations, I'd look up how they're done. If there are two already, most likely a third one can work relatively easy.

Very often, I'd expect a real GIS system to have a different focus than the built-in maps though, so the way to integrate that​​​​​​​ functionality would differ completely, and 100% depend on the use case implemented.
