Founded in 1969, Esri develops ArcGIS, the world's most powerful mapping and spatial analytics platform used by organizations worldwide for geographic data visualization, analysis, and management. The company serves government agencies, utilities, telecommunications, natural resources, transportation, and numerous other sectors that require spatial data analysis and location-based decision-making capabilities.
