Sparx Systems has partnered with Esri Inc. to deliver cutting-edge geospatial solutions based on Esri technology. Since Enterprise Architect version 9.3, Sparx Systems has offered an ArcGIS plug-in developed in conjunction with the CSIRO, Australia's national science agency. This feature, which supports the design of geodatabases for the ArcGIS 10.0 suite, is proving popular within the global geospatial community.

By visualizing geodatabase designs, Enterprise Architect can facilitate the traceability of geospatial systems to the broader enterprise model, communicate geospatial design concepts to a wide audience of stakeholders and leverage model driven architecture.

Esri Australia Partner Manager Laura Berman said, "As a result of this latest partnership with Sparx Systems, organizations across a range of industries including aerospace, finance and telecommunications are able to leverage Sparx Systems design tools to easily visualize and analyze their data in a new and more meaningful way," said Ms Berman. "It's incredibly rewarding for us to be partnering with an Australian organization whose product has a global impact and is used by thousands of organizations around the world."
