ESRI and ITT Visual Information Solutions Announce Plan to Develop NITF Solution for ArcGIS

Redlands, CA/Boulder, CO—June 14, 2007—ESRI and ITT Visual Information Solutions today announced a business relationship to develop a certified National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) extension for ESRI's ArcGIS platform.

ESRI is the international leader in developing geographic information system (GIS) software. ITT Visual Information Solutions is a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT).

The planned NITF extension will seamlessly integrate with ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Image Server to provide users with a proven, certified solution for accessing and creating NITF data, a common raster data format used by the defense and intelligence communities in the United States.

The new extension will permit geospatial imagery analysts to read and write NITF data within the ArcGIS environment. In addition, the extension will allow analysts to create data products that comply with the NITF specifications and improve the efficiency and timeliness of their workflow.

ITT Visual Information Solutions has extensive experience in understanding and developing NITF products to support its premier image processing platform, ENVI, used extensively in the defense and intelligence communities. The ENVI NITF Module is C Level 7 certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) and is the tool of choice for many government agencies and corporations using geospatial imagery today.

"Teaming with a proven leader like ITT Visual Information Solutions to develop this extension for the ArcGIS platform is a perfect solution to extend our users' imagery capability," said Jack Dangermond, ESRI's president. "ITT's extension will complement ESRI's already interoperable standards-driven platform and provide users in the intelligence community, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security with a certified NITF implementation."

"Both ESRI and ITT recognize the need to advance the interoperability of enterprise software tools to improve Geospatial and Imagery Analyst workflows," said Richard Cooke, president and COO, ITT Visual Information Solutions. "The seamless integration of ITT's ENVI NITF tools into ESRI's world-class GIS platform will simplify analyst workflows, reduce the time to read and write NITF data, and improve the production of time-critical geospatial analysis."
