Researchers
ArcGIS—a key part of the research toolkit in every domain
We are research driven
ArcGIS provides data integration, analysis, visualization, and storytelling capabilities that are uniquely engineered for data with a spatial component. Through collaboration with the research community, Esri constantly refines our tools to build on advances in theory and methods in spatial analysis, cartography and visualization, data science and computer science, and many other areas. Founded as Environmental Systems Research Institute, Esri spends about twice what the average public company spends on research and development. Our 11 dedicated research centers are at the leading edge of global innovation.
