Welcome to the ESRI (UK) Partners and Alliances Programme

For over two decades, ESRI has been working closely with Microsoft to deliver complete GIS solutions. Now ESRI (UK) has successfully renewed its Gold-level Microsoft certification and strengthened its position as one of Microsoft’s strategic partners in the UK.

"ESRI and Microsoft are delivering solutions that help people to better understand their world. Together our technologies provide in-depth geographic information that enables businesses and governments around the world to make better decisions about transportation logistics, natural resource allocation, land use planning, workflow processes and much more."
Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft

The worldwide requirement for geographical information system (GIS) technology is growing at an accelerating rate. Each year ESRI and its partners fuel the growth of GIS and solve business problems with new software applications, data and value-added services.

”GIS is often viewed as a niche technology within the corporate IT world, when in reality many core business processes have a location or spatial dimension. ESRI (UK) is continually increasing its support for the development community and making it easier for Partners to incorporate and promote GIS and spatial capabilities and take advantage of this growing market opportunity” Geoff Tennant, ESRI (UK) Partners & Alliances Business Manager.

The UK Partners & Alliances Programme provides a framework to assist systems integrators, technology partners and software application developers and their customers. Partners gain unprecedented access to ESRI’s entire library of developer GIS software and receive assistance in promoting, developing and implementing these solutions across industry - from Government and Utilities to Business and Healthcare.
