Esri honored select partners for their outstanding application of GIS software at the Closing Session of the virtual Esri Partner Conference (EPC). The award-winning companies are members of the Esri Partner Network and use Esri’s tools to solve complex business problems that impact users worldwide.
Christopher Kelly, the CEO of Clearion, one of the winners of the Fostering Engagement Award, said it is an honor to be recognized as a leading partner for the progress it has made in the industry.
"Fostering engagement means connecting utility and infrastructure managers with their field workforce, including contractors like line clearing companies," he says. "Pushing software and information to the front lines of maintenance operations drives efficiency and improves safety. It also creates a foundation for innovation in how work gets done.
"When everyone involved in the maintenance life cycle is connected through software, asset owners gain additional paths to engage stakeholders beyond their own organization," he added.
