Meet David Hicks. He’s a great example of the types of clients Datastory serves. His company is a small, boutique real estate firm who wants the same benefits that a large national firm enjoys, while maintaining the freedom of owning his own company.

David used to work for one of the “big guys” and knew what was possible. But when he started his own company (David Hicks Company), he just wasn’t sure how to get there. When we met David last year at an ICSC conference in Las Vegas, we shared a vision of what was possible. Since then, we’ve shared our expertise and best practices to help David harness the power of ArcGIS for his business.

Today he’s tapping into the benefits of Esri’s ArcGIS platform to make better decisions, faster. He’s using interactive maps on his website, generating rich demographic reports for his clients, and employing location analytics to drive site selection decisions. He’s well known in his local market as being the best. And we’ve helped make him even better, so he can stay ahead of the competition.

And guess what? He’s such a good example of what’s possible, that Esri has invited him to speak on the big stage this summer at their annual Business Summit, alongside other presenters from Walgreens, Twitter, and other big-names. It’s pretty exciting, and Datastory is honored to be part of David’s success.
