GeoMapping: From Banking to Construction with Peter Becker of Esri

 

GIS technology has become a staple part of drone technology, powering much of the site-mapping and surveying for critical infrastructure, agricultural, and energy operations. Esri, one of the leaders in geo-spatial technology, hasn’t stopped there. The power of geo-mapping has shown tangible economic benefits in everything from banking to retail, and our guest today, Esri senior product manager Peter Becker, joined us from the InterDrone trade-show floor to break down these exciting and evolving applications.

“It’s not just ‘fly the drone and then hand somebody a disk,’ it’s ‘how does that help me make decisions and become valuable,'” Becker said. Listen to Becker explain how Esri stands out in the industry, as well as how the company prides itself in educating drone professionals on this powerful technology.
