I work for a small telematics company and we received a request from one of our clients about integrating their vehicle GPS locations to their ArcGIS system.

Our current system simply displays this location data on google maps through javascript.
I'm not really familiar with GIS, but I began doing some digging. From the best I could grasp, I need to write a web service that their GIS server can access in order to add it to the maps.

Our system uses a mysql database that holds the data sent to it by the GPS devices. If a GIS map could derive the information straight from the database, that would be fine. The only real thing at that point would be how to define where the GIS server would look for the information. The data stored in the database is very expansive and contains a lot of information that is not pertinent to the map location.

• Is a route that can be taken?

• what's the best way to go about connecting a GIS server to retrieve information from our mysql database?

Our telematics system keeps everything in a database, and I could write a a web service that can access this data and send as whatever format (XML, json, csv, etc.).
But of course, as I'm not familiar with how this all works, I was looking for a place to ask.
Could anyone give an overall view of what process I should follow to put our GPS location data (latitude, longitude, address and other location information) and have it available as a layer for our client?
