Esri UK & Idox Sign New Partnership Agreement

Aylesbury, February 3, 2011: Idox group and Esri UK, the country's leading provider of geographic information systems (GIS) technology, have signed a new partnership agreement. The new agreement allows use of the latest Esri ArcGIS Server and related GIS technologies within its software solutions. 

The agreement also increases the number and type of products that Idox can use allowing it, in conjunction with support from Esri UK, to extend the mapping and spatial functionality it can provide to both new and existing customers as well as providing support for existing technologies. 

Andrew Riley, Idox Sales Director commented, "Idox has over 10,000 spatially enabled software licences in use within our extensive local authority user base. Virtually every single one of our end users have the ability to use mapping to some degree, and this agreement provides Idox with a solid platform on which to base future solution developments. Importantly, this agreement also provides our customers with the comfort that the current platforms used are supported well into the future and that migration to the latest GIS technologies is actively underway thereby ensuring even greater benefit from the software they already use for no additional cost". 

Stephen Leece, General Manager, Government for Esri UK added," "Idox continues to be our largest UK partner and a top ten international partner. We have worked hard to ensure that this partner agreement works for both Idox and its local government customer base, the majority of whom are also valued customers of Esri UK. We are actively engaged with Idox about our next range of solutions, and how local government can further benefit from improved and insightful GIS operational performance."
