Geosoft, a leader in software and solutions for earth exploration, was the recipient of the 2010 ESRI International Partner of the Year award. The ESRI Business Partner Awards recognise partners for outstanding achievements in the areas of solution development, services or sales and the fostering of ESRI technology into key markets. ESRI and Geosoft are collaborating to deliver integrated software solutions for the global mining and geosciences sector.

Since 2003, Geosoft has been developing powerful workflow solutions for surface and subsurface exploration across the ESRI and Geosoft software environments. These include Target for ArcGIS, an application for subsurface geology and Geochemistry for ArcGIS, an application for geochemical QA and analysis. A longstanding ESRI Business Partner, Geosoft was also the ESRI International Partner of the Year in 2007.

“We’re honoured to be recognised for our strong business partnership with ESRI, and the value our exploration workflow solutions have contributed,” said Tim Dobush, CEO Geosoft. “Within exploration industries and the geosciences, most organisations are now using GIS systems as a core technology, and our close collaboration with ESRI has helped Geosoft provide integrated technology solutions for our customers.”

“Geosoft has done an exceptional job of leveraging ESRI technology to address the specialised needs of geoscientists,” said Alex Miller, President, ESRI Canada. “Their innovation and industry expertise have made a significant contribution in improving workflows and enhancing integration with ESRI software to help our customers drive greater efficiencies and achieve their business objectives.”
