Applied Information Accepted into Esri Partner Network

Partnership expands GIS integration capabilities for Glance® transportation infrastructure management platform

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Information, Inc., North America's leading provider of intelligent transportation infrastructure technology, announced it has been accepted into the Esri Partner Network, strengthening the company's ability to integrate advanced geographic information system (GIS) capabilities into its Glance® transportation management platform.

Esri is the global leader in GIS software, location intelligence, and mapping technology. Applied Information's Glance® platform enables transportation and public safety agencies to remotely monitor and manage traffic signals, connected vehicle infrastructure, school zone safety systems, emergency vehicle preemption, transit signal priority, and other Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) assets from a centralized cloud-based platform.

The partnership will enable Applied Information to further expand GIS integration, spatial data visualization, and mapping capabilities for transportation and public safety agencies using Glance.

Partnership Supports Integration with Government GIS Workflows

The Esri Partner Network acceptance follows a comprehensive evaluation process that included technical reviews, product alignment assessments, and strategic business discussions focused on how Applied Information's solutions complement Esri's GIS ecosystem for government, transportation, and public safety agencies.

"Acceptance into the Esri Partner Network validates the work our team has done to integrate GIS capabilities into the Glance platform," said Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information. "Transportation and public safety agencies increasingly rely on spatial intelligence to manage infrastructure, improve operational awareness, coordinate emergency response activities, and support connected vehicle deployments. Working with Esri will help us provide customers with additional tools to visualize, manage, and analyze transportation infrastructure data more effectively."

"Many of our customers already use GIS technology extensively across transportation, fire, emergency management, and other government operations," said Alex Temes, Director of GIS & Data. "This partnership allows us to better align Glance with the mapping and spatial tools agencies are already familiar with, while expanding visibility into transportation infrastructure, emergency response operations, and connected transportation technologies."

Glance Platform to Advance Spatial Intelligence and Connected Transportation Applications

Applied Information's Glance platform already incorporates mapping and real-time visualization tools to help agencies monitor and control traffic infrastructure remotely from smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices. Through the Esri partnership, Applied Information expects to expand interoperability with GIS layers and geospatial workflows commonly used by transportation departments, fire and EMS agencies, emergency management organizations, and local governments.

Potential applications include enhanced coverage mapping for connected vehicle systems, improved visualization of transportation and public safety assets, emergency vehicle response and coverage analysis, easier management of GIS-based infrastructure data layers, and integration opportunities with Esri's broader geospatial analytics environment.

Esri technology is widely used by government agencies throughout North America, including transportation departments, municipalities, public safety agencies, and emergency management organizations. Applied Information believes the partnership will help accelerate the use of connected transportation technologies and spatial intelligence tools within GIS-driven operational environments.

The partnership also provides Applied Information with access to Esri developer resources, technical collaboration opportunities, and participation in Esri events and partner initiatives focused on transportation, public safety, and smart city innovation.
