Utilis Inc, North America (NA), the only provider of space-based condition assessment for leaking pipes, announced at the annual WEFTEC exhibition that they will be joining location intelligence world-leader Esri’s partner network.
The new relationship, Utilis said, will give the utility assessment company a geospatial advantage and allow both companies to improve product compatibility for current and future customers in the United States and Canada.
“Today Utilis achieved a key milestone in our growth by being recognized for our innovation to water infrastructure condition assessments. The purpose of any partner program is to solve together, in order to grow together. Utilis is honored and proud to team with our friends at Esri,” said James Perry, vice president of business development for Utilis.
Utilis will work, through its new partnership with Esri, to provide a seamless delivery to utility and engineering clients, while increasing the capability of municipalities to mitigate waste of public resources. Utilis enters the Esri Partner Network at the Silver level, joining other providers of content, solutions, and services with a goal to extend the reach of this fast-growing technology.
