REDLANDS, Calif.—September 1—Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, has announced the GIS for Small Businesses and Municipalities initiative. The effort is aimed at helping small businesses and municipalities find an accessible starting point for engaging with GIS.
“ArcGIS can have a transformational impact on organizations of any size, especially small and medium-sized businesses and governments,” said Marcella Cavallaro, director of sales growth and support at Esri. “We want to make it easier for these small but mighty organizations to access the resources they need to innovate, adapt, and thrive.”
The GIS for Small Businesses and Municipalities initiative curates licensing, resources, and case studies for new and existing users. Small businesses and municipalities can find guidance and templates to get them started on modernizing their ArcGIS implementation, as well as user stories showing how other small organizations are solving real-world problems while driving return on investment. There is also a directory of well-qualified partners that can help accelerate, scale, and maximize their investment in ArcGIS.
Moving forward, Esri will continue expanding this initiative, helping small businesses and municipalities connect, share insights, and access solutions tailored to small organizations with limited staff.
