The Release Ready Specialty designation, which is awarded to partners who are early adopters of Esri software releases, supplements K&A’s existing status as an Esri Platinum Partner. It demonstrates K&A’s commitment to remain at the forefront of the geospatial sector through its continuous investment in digital technologies, training and deployment.

K&A’s Geospatial Systems Integration (GSI) division works with public and private sector clients throughout the world to develop and integrate solutions supported by Esri’s industry-leading products and software. Through these solutions, clients are able to capture, analyze and interpret real-time location-based data, empowering them to make smart, evidence-based decisions.

Manal Sayed, senior director and head of K&A’s Geospatial Systems Integration team, said: “We are delighted to be recognized by Esri for our dedication to keeping pace with the latest updates and releases. Technology is constantly advancing, and we firmly believe in the need to be at the forefront of the industry to ensure we’re able to offer our clients the best digital solutions for their needs.”

K&A’s Release Ready Specialty designation further reinforces the strong relationship between the two companies which began more than 30 years ago with a project in Oman. K&A became Esri’s first Platinum Partner for the Middle East & Africa region in 2014.
