ESRI was founded in 1969; ESRI felt an almost limitless enthusiasm for the possibilities of GIS. They understood even then that this new geographic information system technology could bring about a better future. ESRI confidence in GIS is built on the belief that geography matters. It fundamentally influences and connects our many cultures, societies, and ways of life. As you explore our Web site, you will find abundant evidence of the important contributions that GIS technology can make in improving our quality of life and supporting more analytical decision making. ESRI technology helps fight forest fires, determine new national boundaries during peace negotiations, find promising sites for fast-growing companies, rebuild cities around the world, support optimal land use planning, route emergency vehicles, monitor rain forest depletion, contain oil spills, and perform countless other vital tasks every day. GIS technology must constantly evolve to meet the changing needs of business, industry, government, and education. We are ready for these changes. Today, ESRI has more than 2,900 skilled employees worldwide who work with hundreds of business partners and tens of thousands of users. Each one makes a unique contribution to this remarkable technology. Each one makes a difference. Today, ESRI GIS products are poised for even greater growth. Innovations in computer technology allow sophisticated GIS operations to be performed in the field on a personal digital assistant (PDA), on desktops, and throughout the enterprise. Faster and cheaper computers, network processing, electronic data publishing, and easier-to-use tools are fueling rapid growth in the desktop arena. Private businesses are adopting GIS technology as a decision support tool. And with the introduction of live mapping applications to the Web, anyone with a computer has access to the benefits of GIS technology.
