Esri

Esri is a geographic information system (GIS) software company. It builds ArcGIS, a platform that integrates and connects data through the context of geography. Esri has supported customers with geographic science and geospatial analytics since 1969. It calls this approach The Science of Where.

Esri holds that complex problems must first be understood in the context of location. Hidden patterns, trends and relationships appear when data is shown on a map. The company says its technology allows faster data sharing and more fluid collaboration. It is also committed to using science and technology to build a sustainable world.

ArcGIS Online is the software as a service version of the platform. It has ready to use templates, sample code and prebuilt apps, and it keeps maps and data in sync when users work offline. It holds FedRAMP Moderate and ISO 27001 certifications. ArcGIS Pro is the desktop application for advanced mapping, analytics and data management. It runs on Windows and includes more than 2,000 geoprocessing tools. ArcGIS Enterprise lets customers run ArcGIS on their own infrastructure, in the cloud or both.

Esri's capabilities fall into three groups: mapping, analytics and data management. Analytics covers spatial analysis, data science and built in AI models. Imagery tools turn satellite and remotely sensed data into useful information. Developers can build mapping and spatial analysis applications with developer technology and SDKs.

Esri says organizations in virtually every field use its technology for daily operations and long term planning. The company counts 33 thousand businesses, 1.2 thousand national government agencies, 30 thousand cities and local governments, and 12.2 thousand nonprofits among its users. Industries served include utilities, transportation, public safety, water, education and health and human services.

Customer stories on the website include the US Census Bureau modernizing its census with GIS, the City of Johns Creek building a smart city, and The Shopping Center Group using location intelligence to serve its clients. Esri also offers professional services, technical support and training.

The company publishes WhereNext magazine, the ArcNews newsletter, ArcWatch and a podcast called Esri and The Science of Where.
