REDLANDS, CALIF. -- To further provide individuals and organizations with the authoritative demographic data they need, Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, has launched a new e-commerce experience for data in the Esri Store. A one-stop shop for enhanced, reliable information relating to people and geography, Esri’s location data store is designed to make these resources more accessible for users that rely on spatial data.

“We are thrilled to launch our new e-commerce experience, making it easier than ever for customers to access the data they need to make better decisions,” said Rob Elkins, Esri director of product management. “Organizations will have access to current-year and five-year estimates for more than 2,000 demographic and socioeconomic characteristics in the US, as well as census and American Community Survey (ACS) information, consumer spending trends, market potential, and more available on demand to fit their workflows.”

Leaders in both the private and public sectors today must address challenges concerning people and places. A comprehensive understanding of specific locations integrated with population, age, income, and education data is critical for making better-informed decisions. Esri’s new e-commerce experience provides users with benefits that include:

· Easier data discovery. Users can browse and select from a variety of datasets for the US, including full databases and individual data tables.
· Flexible pricing. Choose the number of users and the specific geographic extent and level of data required.
· Immediate access. Customers will receive an email notification with instructions when the data will be available.
