Leveraging Esri Technology in Unique and Innovative Ways
Earthcube
Combining state-of-the-art techniques in both computer vision and machine learning, Earthcube’s solutions enable users to monitor wide areas and places that are difficult to capture by automatically detecting, segmenting, and classifying objects of interest. Earthcube integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with multiple data sources, such as very high-resolution (VHR) satellite imagery, proprietary algorithms, and geospatial analysis, via the ArcGIS platform.
UDC
UDC delivers system implementation services and operational solutions to gas and electric utilities in the United States and Canada. Its High-Fidelity Export Import Data Exchange (HEIDE) tool helps users with ArcGIS Utility Network migration. UDC’s Gas Outage Management System (OMS) solution, which is based on ArcGIS Enterprise and started as a project with the Northeast Gas Association (NGA), automates gas outage and restoration processes.

ArcGIS Marketplace
Dstillery
Dstillery helps organizations maximize customer data using custom AI models. The Esri partner combines web browser and location data to deliver fresh and accurate results that identify certain behaviors in a given geography. To gain more in-depth intelligence, users can combine these insights with other audience data and apply it to market segmentation projects. Dstillery’s census block group and tract datasets are on the ArcGIS Marketplace.
GeoGraph
GeoGraph helps clients predict, understand, and resolve challenges in managing fiber, copper, and coaxial networks. The company’s CrescentLink Network Manager solution for ArcGIS makes it easier for telecommunications companies to manage equipment.
