ESRI
While ESRI and Trimble have worked collaboratively for a number of years, in early 2002 the two organizations announced the formation of a formal strategic alliance directed at mobile solutions. The alliance brings together Trimble's expertise in field-rugged handheld GPS technology and ESRI's market-leading GIS software to expand the power of an enterprise GIS to an organization's mobile workers. ESRI has been the leading developer of geographic information system (GIS) software with more than 300,000 clients worldwide. ESRI software is used in all 200 of the largest cities in the United States and in more than 60 percent of counties and municipalities nationwide. According to Jack Dangermond, President of ESRI: "We believe that by leveraging Trimble's expertise in the field, our users will be provided with more options and new mobile solutions. This strategic alliance will also further expand the role of the mobile client in an organization's GIS enterprise environment." |
