When we began this company back in 1969, we felt an almost limitless enthusiasm for the possibilities of GIS. We understood even then that this new geographic information system technology could bring about a better future.
Our 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 website, 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.
With annual sales of more than $560 million, ESRI has been the world leader in the geographic information system (GIS) software industry for more than 30 years. As the leader in GIS technology, ESRI offers innovative solutions that will help you create, visualize, analyze, and present information better and more clearly. Working with location information, ESRI's GIS software and solutions give you the power to solve problems you encounter every day. Our technology helps fight forest fires, determine new national and local boundaries, find promising sites for fast-growing companies, rebuild cities around the world, support optimal land use planning, route emergency vehicles, monitor forest depletion, contain oil spills, and perform countless other vital tasks every day.
GIS technology must constantly evolve to meet the changing needs of 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. www.esri.com

Corporate Giving/Community Involvement:
ESRI is deeply committed to supporting all aspects of local government. To further that end, ESRI dedicates support to NLC, ICMA, NACo and many other associations focused on city and county government. We are proud to be a founding member of NLC?s Corporate Partner program and proud to be identified as a ?company with a conscience? by Charlie Lyons, NLC?s 2004 President, for our support of his housing agenda.
In the last year, ESRI has donated and coordinated a considerable amount of software, resources and volunteers to the recovery efforts by state and local governments and the Red Cross in response to the devastation by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the tsunami in Asia.
