Datastory Receives Partner-to-Partner Collaboration Award at Esri Partner Conference
Datastory enables business leaders to rapidly gain value from Esri technology by providing a turnkey app called MapDash™ to organizations that want the value of location intelligence for business decisions but who are not yet ready for a DIY approach to Esri. MapDash, augmented by powerful analytics created by the Datastory team, accelerates organizations along the location intelligence maturity pathway that often must be traveled to understand and leverage all that Esri has to offer.
The strength of Datastory’s team is fueled by strong collaboration with multiple Esri partners that bring together GIS technical expertise (GeoMarvel and GEO Jobe), best-in-class data (SafeGraph, Regrid, Spatial.ai, Nearmap and others), and industry-specific experts (FaithX, Coinside/E.A. Langenfeld).
“The Esri Partner Network makes us stronger and more relevant to the clients we serve,” said Matt Felton, Founder of Datastory. “We look forward to expanding our collaboration with additional content partners who understand MapDash’s role as an on-ramp to delivering ROI from their data and also with diverse industry-experts who can gain quick and powerful wins with our Esri-based app.”
Esri is the global leader in location intelligence with a network of over 2800 partners around the world. The award winners are organizations that have demonstrated innovative and creative ways to solve complex problems by using Esri’s ArcGIS software and those who have done exceptional work in advancing geographic information system (GIS) technology. Datastory was one of 27 Esri partners that received an achievement award at the conference.
