Esri Collaborates with Panama to Strengthen National Geospatial Capabilities


With support from Esri, Panama plans to streamline operations, better manage and share its spatial data, and extend geographic resources throughout government institutions. The country's national geospatial system, GEORED, will use Esri's ArcGIS technology to provide services in the areas of land management, tourism, infrastructure, traffic, health, education, public safety, national security, and investment planning, among others.

"With ArcGIS serving as the collaborative framework throughout the country, Panama can modernize operations while saving time and money," says Dangermond. "It also supports transparency and accountability by making it easier to share geographic information among government departments and with the public."
