ESRI receives Strong Positive Rating in Leading Analyst Firm's MarketScope Report

ESRI received a Strong Positive rating, the highest possible, from Gartner, Inc., the leading provider of research and analysis on the global information technology industry. The report, MarketScope for Energy and Utility Geographic Information Systems, by Bradley Williams and Jeff Vining, was published January 26, 2009.

ESRI's ArcGIS software and Web services enable utilities to link asset information to location data such as facilities to parcels of land, streets, pipes, or wires in a network. Users can capture, store, process, analyze, and render this data to support the electric, gas, water, and wastewater utility industries. Within a GIS, information is layered to illustrate relationships, connections, and patterns that are not obvious in a single dataset, thereby enabling better decisions.
