Esri provides geographic information system (GIS) software and services, most notably the ArcGIS platform, which helps people create, analyze, and share maps and spatial data. Users can import data, build maps, run spatial analyses, and deploy dashboards and apps that incorporate maps, real-time feeds, and even AI insights. Esri differentiates itself by remaining privately owned since its founding, focusing on long-term GIS development rather than chasing quick profits, and maintaining a comprehensive, industry-standard suite that is used in urban planning, disaster response, logistics, and conservation. Its stated goal is to help people understand and manage the world through maps by turning data into actionable geographic insight.

Applied Information accepted into Esri Partner Network. Aug 13, 2026, 09:00 ET Partnership expands GIS integration capabilities for Glance(R) transportation infrastructure management platform ALPHARETTA, Ga., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Applied Information, Inc., North America's leading provider of intelligent transportation infrastructure technology, announced it has been accepted into the Esri Partner Network, strengthening the company's ability to integrate advanced geographic information system (GIS) capabilities into its Glance(R) transportation management platform. Esri is the global leader in GIS software, location intelligence, and mapping technology. Applied Information's Glance(R) platform enables transportation and public safety agencies to remotely monitor and manage traffic signals, connected vehicle infrastructure, school zone safety systems, emergency vehicle preemption, transit signal priority, and other Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) assets from a centralized cloud-based platform. The partnership will enable Applied Information to further expand GIS integration, spatial data visualization, and mapping capabilities for transportation and public safety agencies using Glance. Partnership Supports Integration with Government GIS Workflows The Esri Partner Network acceptance follows a comprehensive evaluation process that included technical reviews, product alignment assessments, and strategic business discussions focused on how Applied Information's solutions complement Esri's GIS ecosystem for government, transportation, and public safety agencies. "Acceptance into the Esri Partner Network validates the work our team has done to integrate GIS capabilities into the Glance platform," said Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information. "Transportation and public safety agencies increasingly rely on spatial intelligence to manage infrastructure, improve operational awareness, coordinate emergency response activities, and support connected vehicle deployments. Working with Esri will help us provide customers with additional tools to visualize, manage, and analyze transportation infrastructure data more effectively." "Many of our customers already use GIS technology extensively across transportation, fire, emergency management, and other government operations," said Alex Temes, Director of GIS & Data. "This partnership allows us to better align Glance with the mapping and spatial tools agencies are already familiar with, while expanding visibility into transportation infrastructure, emergency response operations, and connected transportation technologies." Glance Platform to Advance Spatial Intelligence and Connected Transportation Applications Applied Information's Glance platform already incorporates mapping and real-time visualization tools to help agencies monitor and control traffic infrastructure remotely from smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices. Through the Esri partnership, Applied Information expects to expand interoperability with GIS layers and geospatial workflows commonly used by transportation departments, fire and EMS agencies, emergency management organizations, and local governments. Potential applications include enhanced coverage mapping for connected vehicle systems, improved visualization of transportation and public safety assets, emergency vehicle response and coverage analysis, easier management of GIS-based infrastructure data layers, and integration opportunities with Esri's broader geospatial analytics environment. Esri technology is widely used by government agencies throughout North America, including transportation departments, municipalities, public safety agencies, and emergency management organizations. Applied Information believes the partnership will help accelerate the use of connected transportation technologies and spatial intelligence tools within GIS-driven operational environments. The partnership also provides Applied Information with access to Esri developer resources, technical collaboration opportunities, and participation in Esri events and partner initiatives focused on transportation, public safety, and smart city innovation.

Grocery TV and Esri team to bring data-driven media planning to in-store retail media.

Grocery TV and Esri team to bring data-driven media planning to in-store retail media. Partnership lets brands plan against 3,500+ behavioral and psychographic audience attributes across 6,700+ grocery stores, aligning in-store buys with how national advertisers plan TV and digital July 29, 2026. 1:12 PM NEW YORK - Grocery TV has announced a partnership with Esri to enhance Grocery TV's behavioral and psychographic targeting across its national retailer-owned network of over 6,700 stores. Through Esri's Market Potential dataset, the platform now incorporates over 3,500 audience attributes spanning categories like automotive, finance, health and wellness, telecom, and CPG. Brands and agencies can now plan against in-store audiences aligned with how they already plan and buy TV and digital. While digital campaigns are built around specific behavioral segments, in-store media has historically relied on broad demographic or geographic proxies. With Grocery TV, advertisers can build custom store lists around shoppers who over-index on behaviors such as planning to purchase a vehicle, prioritizing organic food, or recently switching wireless carriers. "In-store media is increasingly being viewed as an extension of video and digital strategies, not just an out-of-home buy," said Marlow Nickell, co-founder & CEO, Grocery TV. "The partnership with Esri enhances our ability to let media buyers approach in-store by audience, not just by placement. Most purchases still happen in physical stores, and reaching the right shopper at the point of decision is one of the most valuable moments in the funnel." eMarketer raised its 2026 DOOH forecast by 18% to reflect the growth of in-store media. As the channel scales, measurement and targeting capabilities have become table stakes. Major retailers have announced investments in closed-loop attribution and audience segmentation, signaling that the channel is maturing beyond experimental budgets into performance-driven media plans. "Esri has long helped organizations understand consumer behavior at the local level," said Chris Nickola, director of commercial, Esri. "Partnering with Grocery TV brings that intelligence directly into the in-store media planning process, connecting behavioral and psychographic insights to the physical environments where most shoppers visit every week. It's a natural extension of how location intelligence can inform smarter, more relevant advertising." With over 120 retail partners and reaching 95 million unique shoppers, Grocery TV activates behavioral targeting at scale across independent and regional grocers nationwide. Audience-based targeting powered by Esri is available now to brands and agencies planning campaigns across Grocery TV's platform. For more information, visit grocerytv.com.
