ESRI Software for brokers, appraisers and marketers

Software designed to support brokers, appraisers and marketers with the analysis they need to do their jobs efficiently and accurately is now offered by ESRI and CCIM Institute as a new GIS solution bundle for commercial real estate and retail markets. CCIM products and services, along with ESRI's ArcGIS Business Analyst Server, are part of this comprehensive offering.

Under this agreement, CCIM Institute will become a reseller of the ArcGIS Business Analyst product suite within the United States. CCIM will bundle the software with its subscription to Site to Do Business Online (STDBonline) (www.stdbonline.com), a suite of demographic and analysis tools, and other commercial real estate data services. CCIM will also offer its core course education and specialized education curriculum showing clients how to combine their own internal data, specialized financial models, and site evaluation workflows with the best Web-based data analysis and mapping solutions.

CCIM Institute is the leading member network and governing body of the largest commercial investment real estate network in the world. ESRI is the leading provider of geographic information system (GIS) technology. The two companies have been working together to bring innovative solutions to the marketplace.

ESRI and CCIM Institute began working together in 2007 when the companies signed an agreement to develop the new mapping interface to STDBonline. This Web-based service drove rapid adoption of GIS with CCIM members and provided intuitive access to demographic, consumer spending, and business data. Earlier this year, CCIM Institute awarded ESRI a 20-year contract to expand this solution and create, manage, and maintain major portions of its property portal.
