ARCHIBUS and ESRI Business Partnership:

Merging Facilities and Geographic Data for
Intuitive Business Transformation™

As a Business Partner with industry-leading GIS software company ESRI, ARCHIBUS brings users of both product technologies into a new realm of information integration that unites geospatial with real estate, facilities, and infrastructure data.

Both sets of users will now gain new management insights and enhanced operational decision support through access to a vastly expanded knowledge base using multiple data sources.

That access will be gained through ARCHIBUS Geospatial Extensions for ESRI, the inaugural application from this partnership. ARCHIBUS Geospatial Extensions for ESRI allows ARCHIBUS and ESRI users to access and integrate geospatial and facilities data from each other’s databases.

Now users can review 2D and 3D views of their organizations, and merge them with demographic and other database information to better inform strategic and master planning decisions on siting, construction, and management of properties.

ARCHIBUS Geospatial Extensions for ESRI Benefits:

  • Provides a common operating picture of sites, space, infrastructure and physical assets to improve organizational collaboration and decision-making

Management, Planning, Compliance and More

Business decisions increasingly depend on incorporating geospatial information and other data that impact facilities due to such considerations as proximity to transportation, utility infrastructure location, zoning restrictions, environmental and safety compliance, and proximity to potential markets.
