management, target area, win customer back etc.
Why ESRI?
• ESRI being used as the core engine in leading inventory management systems like
Ericsson Network Engineer and Enghouse Networks.
• ESRI with ArcGIS online/portal complimented with mobile app and survey tools is the need
for the time to effectively manage, maintain and utilize the network.
• Out of box support for features like network connectivity, clustering analysis, location
analysis.
