At Esri, we bring meaning to maps. We pioneer problem solving using geographic information systems (GIS) and believe The Science of Where can transform the world by unlocking data’s full potential in every organization. Our mapping and analytics software, ArcGIS, connects everyone, everywhere through a common visual language—maps—that inspires positive change in industry and society. Using this powerful platform to reveal deeper insight into their data, Esri users—developers, educators, industries, and governments around the globe—are creating the maps that run the world. read more
It has been an eye-opener that a privately owned company can be more positive that a publicly owned one. The vision and steady hand of Jack Dangermond has kept it growing evenly and being successful by making users successful. This includes listening to engineers and delaying releases when needed.
