• GIS—The Geographic Approach—by Jack Dangermond, President, ESRI

Enterprise GIS is emerging: it connects the dots between various departments and systems and is evolving to be a strategic part of an organization's vision and approach. Working together, organizations will share geographic information to become more efficient and more successful.

ESRI is an organization created to serve users who have a desire to use GIS technology in their organization. Our purpose was founded on the development and application of GIS tools and the advancement of methods that promote rational thinking about the environment and land use planning.

Software quality is one of the most important issues at ESRI. Our engineering teams are responsive to three forces:

• Evolving technology standards.
• The creative skills and interests of our developers.
• The ongoing feedback from users regarding their requirements.

We look forward to working with you and building new relationships.
