PIXIA, a US industry leader in fast access to large data, has announced a new relationship with Esri for integrating PIXIA’s geospatial intelligence solutions into Esri’s ArcGIS Online, Portal for ArcGIS, and ArcGIS MarketPlace. This relationship makes PIXIA’s powerful suite of software services available to Esri users for the first time.

Patrick Ernst, PIXIA co-founder, said his company is excited to provide access to petabytes of geospatial intelligence to Esri users. He believes the integration of PIXIA solutions into the Esri ecosystem creates exceptional value for their customers, since many of them are also Esri users.  

PIXIA’s input-output engine provides Esri users unmatched speed and scalability to create access to high volumes of geospatial data such as high-resolution imagery, wide area motion imagery and full motion video. These services are complemented by tools that update data in near real-time to ensure all ArcGIS users including those in remote locations have access to new data as quickly as it’s collected.

Esri is pleased to partner with PIXIA, whose innovative technology manages and serves advanced Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) data, said Ben Conklin, lead for defence & intelligence solutions at Esri. Providing simple access to this data for Esri users will greatly increase the value of this information and improve the workflow of analysts supporting decision-making, he added.
