Esri staff will be on-site to discuss the ways the ArcGIS platform is enabling customers to deliver the actionable intelligence on which decision makers rely. An integrated platform for defense, intelligence, and national security, ArcGIS provides high-performance 2D and 3D analysis. It is a complete and open technology (or platform) for managing, analyzing, and sharing data and products. ArcGIS leverages big data, web technologies, and integrated apps to make GIS easy to use, more accessible, and collaborative.

"The national security community can benefit from visual exploration of enterprise data, regardless of source," said John Day, director of national security, business development, at Esri.
