Applied Information Joins Esri Partner Network

On August 13, 2026, Applied Information, Inc., recognized as North America's premier provider of intelligent transportation technology, proudly announced its acceptance into the Esri Partner Network. This pivotal step aims to bolster the integration of sophisticated Geographic Information System (GIS) functionalities within its Glance® transportation management platform.

Esri is well-known for being a global leader in GIS software, location intelligence, and mapping technologies. Through its leading-edge Glance® platform, Applied Information facilitates remote monitoring and management of various transportation infrastructure components. This includes traffic signals, connected vehicle systems, school zone safety measures, emergency vehicle preemption technologies, transit signal priority, and other Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) assets, all from a centralized cloud platform.

Expanding GIS Integration and Capabilities

The integration with Esri promises to further elevate the capabilities of Glance, particularly concerning spatial data visualization and mapping for transportation and public safety agencies. This collaboration will allow the platform to significantly align with government GIS workflows, enhancing its operational efficiency. Additionally, it follows a comprehensive assessment that confirmed the alignment of Applied Information's solutions with Esri’s core competencies in GIS, primarily aimed at governmental, transportation, and public safety sectors.

Bryan Mulligan, the President of Applied Information, expressed his enthusiasm about this partnership, stating, “Acceptance into the Esri Partner Network validates the work our team has done to integrate GIS capabilities into the Glance platform. Our tools are increasingly vital for agencies aiming to utilize spatial intelligence for effective infrastructure management, operational awareness, coordinated emergency responses, and advancing connected vehicle technologies.”

Alex Temes, Director of GIS Data for Esri, reinforced the significance of this collaboration, mentioning that many their clients already implement GIS technology across diverse domains like transportation and emergency management. He highlighted that this collaboration facilitates a better alignment of Glance with the familiar mapping and spatial tools available to these agencies, thereby improving visibility over transportation infrastructures and emergency response operations.

Advancing Spatial Intelligence with the Glance Platform

The Glance platform's advanced real-time visualization tools will enable diverse agencies to oversee traffic infrastructures readily from smartphones, tablets, and desktops. The collaboration with Esri is expected to enhance interoperability with GIS layers and geospatial workflows prevalent among various governmental bodies such as transportation departments and emergency management organizations.

Potential applications stemming from this partnership include:

• - Enhanced coverage mapping for connected vehicle systems.
• - Improved visualization of transportation and public safety resources.
• - Comprehensive analysis of emergency vehicle response coverage.
• - Streamlined management of GIS-based infrastructure data layers.
• - Rich integration opportunities with Esri’s expansive geospatial analytics environment.

Esri's widely adopted technology among government agencies in North America, including municipalities and public safety entities, provides an exceptional backdrop for this collaboration. Applied Information anticipates that this partnership will expedite the adoption of connected transportation technologies and spatial intelligence tools in environments guided by GIS data.

Furthermore, joining the Esri Partner Network opens up valuable access to Esri's technical resources, collaborative opportunities, and participation in events and initiatives focused on transportation, public safety, and smart city innovations.
