At this year’s Esri 2011 conference, Esri Germany and AED-SICAD have signed officially the comprehensive Platinum Partner Contract within the frame of the global ESRI Partner Network (EPN). AED-SICAD is currently the only Esri business partner with Platinum Status outside of North America. Among 1800 business partners world-wide, Esri has signed up currently only 9 Platinum Partners.
Esri as the leading global provider of GIS technology has introduced in 2010 the Esri Partner Network (EPN) to be able to serve better on a world-wide scale the growing community of companies which offer innovative solutions and professional services based on Esri technology. Business partners may solicit a silver, gold or platinum EPN partner status. The gold and platinum status is tied to a series of pre-requisites and yearly assessments to ensure compliance
with the partner program. Companies may only qualify for the platinum status, if they are a globally acting company which have a leading role in its respective industry and which generate accordingly revenue. As platinum partner, AED-SICAD receives advanced technical assistance and sales support in joint sales and marketing activities from Esri Inc. and Esri Germany.
AED-SICAD is the leading and successful supplier of GIS solutions for land management and utilities. Especially in the area of utilities, customers from more than 20 countries out of 4 continents are using the ArcFM UT product suite.
Dr. Thomas Englert, managing director of AED-SICAD AG says: “We are proud and happy to hear that we signed as one of the first companies world-wide and as first company outside of North America a platinum partner contract and understand this as an award and recognition of our work. Our customers will benefit from the deepened support from Esri. But we see ourselves also more than ever obliged to remain technologically always at the front and to create cutting-edge modern solution on top of ESRI technology and to deliver these to our customers.“
Dr. Peter Ladstätter, General Manager at Esri Germany GmbH: „The platinum partner contract demonstrates the outstanding role of AED-SICAD within the Esri partner network. This is the result of a long and trusting cooperation in Germany and an extraordinarily successful activity in the international area. We are looking forward to a continued collaboration with AED-SICAD.” Read More
