The agreement reflects growing demand for trusted geospatial content embedded directly within the workflows organizations rely on every day. "This agreement represents an important milestone for Nearmap and validates the quality, consistency, and scale of our imagery program," said Ray Savona, Chief Revenue Officer at Nearmap. "Organizations around the world depend on ArcGIS to understand and manage the built environment, and we're proud that Nearmap imagery will help power those decisions. This collaboration introduces hundreds of thousands of organizations to Nearmap imagery - and opens the door to our broader portfolio of premium imagery, AI-powered property intelligence, and enterprise workflows." ArcGIS users will automatically view Nearmap imagery at supported zoom levels in their existing GIS workflow with no additional logins, subscriptions, or configuration required. "Organizations across many industries are increasingly relying on imagery as a critical source of data for their analytic and operational geospatial workflows," said Richard Cooke, Corporate Director, Global Business Development, Esri. "Nearmap's metro imagery is a valued addition for the ArcGIS Living Atlas to deliver users a higher resolution basemap to enhance situational awareness, planning, and operational efficiency." Nearmap will provide regular imagery updates every 6-12 months throughout the agreement, ensuring ArcGIS users continue to benefit from current, high-quality aerial imagery. While the ArcGIS Living Atlas integration provides a trusted visual foundation for mapping and spatial analysis, organizations requiring the highest-resolution imagery, more frequent capture, historical imagery, AI-powered property intelligence, APIs, and enterprise workflow integrations can continue to access those capabilities through a direct Nearmap subscription.
