SRK Signs Global ELA with Esri

Broader Access to GIS Will Improve Workflows and Collaboration at Natural Resources Consulting Company

SRK Consulting, an international consulting company that provides focused advice and solutions for earth and water resource industries, recently signed a global enterprise license agreement (ELA) with Esri. The agreement includes 36 SRK affiliates in 10 countries and gives SRK unlimited use of Esri desktop and server software.

“The enterprise license agreement will provide SRK Consulting with increased access to GIS [geographic information system] technology at a significant savings,” says Brett Bingham, GISP, global ELA manager, SRK Consulting. “As a growing, internationally diversified company, it is important that we provide our staff with the tools necessary to succeed. The ELA will help SRK collaborate internally and with our clients on a standard GIS platform.”

The global ELA supports the many facets of SRK’s operations throughout its affiliates, which address different areas of GIS administration. The agreement will allow SRK to leverage and share GIS applications and workflows developed within their independent offices.

“Being technologically advanced in our fields of expertise is part of SRK’s vision,” says Andy Barrett, Group CEO, SRK Consulting. “The ELA gives us global access to the latest innovations in GIS technology, assisting us in reaching this goal. SRK looks forward to a long-lasting professional relationship with Esri.”
