FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Jan 22, 2009)

Pyramid Systems Achieves ESRI Consulting Partner Status

Pyramid Systems, Inc. (Pyramid) is pleased to announce that it has been accepted as an ESRI Consulting Partner and is now positioned to offer advanced geospatial solutions to the government and commercial markets, leveraging ESRI software, tools, and frameworks.

ESRI designs and develops the world's leading geographic information system (GIS) technology. ESRI software is the standard in federal, state, and local government, and is used by more than 25,000 federal and state and local entities. ESRI is also the leading geospatial solution in commercial verticals that make heavy use of GIS.

ESRI Consulting Partners offer a unique combination of expertise and market presence, growing GIS solutions in new markets, assisting customers with ESRI technology, and strengthening the worldwide GIS community.

As an ESRI Consulting Partner, Pyramid will provide the following types of services and solutions to customers:

• Implementation planning
• Database development
• Application development
• Programming
• Web Services Design

The addition of the ESRI Consulting Partner credential is important to the further development of Pyramid’s existing practice area focused on computer aided facilities management (CAFM) solutions based on an ARCHIBUS framework. ARCHIBUS is the #1 product globally for complex total infrastructure and facilities management. Pyramid is a leading integrator of ARCHIBUS-based solutions for facilities and infrastructure management. By adding a formalized partnership with ESRI, Pyramid is now positioned to offer complex and unique solutions that combine GIS capability with CAFM capability.

There are few small businesses that are qualified to bring CAFM and GIS solutions to clients, and there are fewer who are able to bring together the functionality of CAFM and GIS in a single integrated solution. Pyramid is well positioned at the leading edge of the CAFM and GIS markets, as an ARCHIBUS VAR and Geospatial Solutions Provider and as an ESRI Consulting Partner.

Daniel Miller , CAFM Practice Lead for Pyramid, made the following comment on the company’s acceptance into the ESRI Consulting Partner program:
“Based on our relationship with ARCHIBUS, we have been active for some time in the GIS segment and have built geospatial extensions for ARCHIBUS. Now, we have a formalized business partnership with ESRI that will allow us to bring unique, value-generating solutions to our clients that couple CAFM and GIS functionality. We are also eager to go-to-market as a provider of standalone GIS solutions. The real value of this new company credential is that it enables us to provide the types of integrated infrastructure management solutions that our customers are looking for, with GIS functionality, ERP integration, building management system integration, and other capabilities. Issues such as public safety and emergency readiness, energy consumption management, building automation, and infrastructure consolidation are driving many organizations to seek advanced solutions coupling CAFM functionality with GIS. We are delighted about becoming an ESRI Consulting Partner.”
