“Manhattan is delighted to partner with Esri and we look forward to working more closely with this amazing company in the months and years ahead,” said Manhattan Group Managing Director, Steve Vatidis. “This is a very strategic relationship for our company, particularly in our work with government (federal, state, county and local), corporate, institutional, higher education and retail customers. Being able to offer users of Manhattan and Esri solutions the ability to visualise both exterior and interior data on the built environment and do sophisticated location analysis with Esri’s geospatial tools is critical for today’s emphasis on business intelligence for competitive positioning. The combination of mapping intelligence with environmental information furthers the capability of the Manhattan Green Real Estate and Asset Technology (GREAT) initiative. “We are pleased to have Manhattan Software in the Esri Partner Network,” said Jack Dangermond, Esri President. “The CAFM and IWMS markets have great growth potential for us and we are excited to bring solutions to customers that leverage the power of Manhattan’s real estate and asset technology integrated with Esri’s geospatial visualisation and analysis.” About Esri Esri, ArcGIS, and www.esri.com are trademarks, registered trademarks, or service marks of Esri in the United States, the European Community, or certain other jurisdictions.
