Orbital Insight Integrates with Esri's ArcGIS Platform to Streamline Satellite and Sensor Imagery Analysis

Defense, Intelligence, and Commercial Organizations Can Now Seamlessly Access Basemaps and Visualize Data via Orbital Insight GO

REDLANDS, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 2, 2021 — Orbital Insight's fusion of multisensor geospatial data and state-of-the-art algorithms has been helping customers address critical concerns for years—from determining the flow of container ship traffic amid unprecedented supply chain delays to visualizing dynamic intelligence and defense-related threats and anomalies across the globe. With the adoption of Esri's ArcGIS Platform, Orbital Insight is making it easier for its users to integrate with ArcGIS and analyze their data.

Customers of Esri, the world leader in location intelligence, who also use Orbital Insight GO can now seamlessly work between both systems, making it easier to meet spatial challenges with Esri basemap visualizations directly within the Orbital Insight GO platform and export their analysis to ArcGIS.

The integration with Esri's ArcGIS Platform provides an integral reference point for analysts as well as a more cohesive and natural user experience. More collaboration is planned, including eventually incorporating Esri's geocoding technology into Orbital Insight GO.

"We are proud to share with Orbital Insight the common goal of helping people make important decisions on a worldwide scale by taking a geographic approach," said Jack Dangermond, Esri founder and president. "It only makes sense to make that process easier so our users can focus on what they do best."

Orbital Insight, founded in 2013, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to synthesize multiple sources of geospatial data—including satellite images, mobile location, connected cars, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices—into a unified platform that can identify objects; detect anomalies; and observe changes in land use, infrastructure, and human activities across the globe.

Orbital Insight executives recently demonstrated the new streamlined user experience at the US Geospatial Intelligence Foundation's annual GEOINT Symposium for industry professionals, showing the ease of importing and exporting data between Orbital Insight GO and ArcGIS.

"Making that seamless was a really big hit," said Jens Tellefsen, senior vice president of product and design for Orbital Insight. GO is currently being deployed in top security military networks that have long used Esri software. Companies across commercial sectors, particularly real estate, financial services, mining, and consumer packaged goods, are also using GO to monitor changes globally.

"We serve similar and overlapping sets of end users, and our analysis is often combined and visualized in the ArcGIS system," continued Tellefsen. "With our partnership, we have added ArcGIS basemaps in our application to provide a consistent user experience between Orbital Insight GO and ArcGIS. With our native ArcGIS data support, users can now easily add our analysis directly into ArcGIS with a few simple clicks, resulting in significant productivity improvement for geospatial analysts."

The increasing customer overlap between the two companies was a primary driver for Orbital Insight to adopt ArcGIS Platform.
