At SCEWC, we showcased the amazing real work of our customers who are using ArcGIS to transform the way we model, manage, simulate and plan our cities and regions. Our discussions with business and government leaders focused on the fundamental strategies for location intelligence to help support understanding and address important challenges such as climate change, housing needs, future mobility, social equity, and civic engagement.” Esri Brooks Patrick Business Development Manager for Smart Cities We demonstrated our justice and public safety portfolio which centralises the management of city-wide security technology via a single unified platform. Operators can manage all their security cameras, automatic license plate recognition and other sensors in one application, with customised dashboards and access rights for individual employees, teams or external stakeholders. They can leverage the cloud to facilitate video and evidence sharing for public and private partnerships, driving efficiencies associated with the secure, audited, collection and sharing of evidence.” Genetec Rafael Martin Sales Director for Southern Euro Imec is a trusted research partner for companies and governments on nanoelectronics, AI and data.
