Premier GIS Companies Align to Better Serve Clients in State & Local Government

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - May 7, 2013 – Two Esri Platinum Partners have joined together to better enable state and local government personnel, improve workflows, and leverage technology to gain efficiencies in the operation and maintenance of assets.  The partnership between Geographic Information Services, Inc. (GISi) and Cityworks – Azteca Systems Inc. brings together nearly 50 years of combined experience in spatial technology and over 220 dedicated employees.

“We are thrilled and honored to become a Cityworks partner” said Lee Lichlyter, President & CEO of GISi.
