Paris selects ArcGIS as its geospatial technology platform

The City of Paris signed an enterprise license agreement (ELA) with Esri France, making ArcGIS software available throughout the city. The agreement enables the city to build an enterprise-wide geographic information system (GIS) to increase efficiency and improve services.

Paris currently utilizes a combination of Esri technology and open source solutions to power nearly 30 different geospatial systems that support everything from its public-facing website to waste management operations.

With broad access to the latest ArcGIS software, the city intends to consolidate its vast geographic data resources and establish a centralized GIS that provides a more accurate and comprehensive picture of the complex workings of this major city.
