“You can always share. I bet you anything you’re going to change someone’s life
because many people in Esri Community changed mine.”
—Ellie Hakari on the impact of engaging in Esri Community
. . . . .
Join us in toasting the thousands of remarkable Esri team members who invested their time and expertise in Esri Community during 2023!
Though Esri Community is primarily designed for customers to collaborate, resolve questions, and solve GIS challenges with each other, Esri’s own staff and distributors play a major role in the important achievements that take place here every day. In fact, Esri team members supplied 43% of all confirmed 5,926 answers to member questions in the last year. For perspective on the outsized degree of these contributions, fewer than 1.5% of Esri Community’s 365,039 total active accounts belong to Esri Community team members.
Beyond answering questions, these champions of Community take the opportunities found in this platform and transform them into win-win outcomes. They lead with curiosity, diving into the shared experiences of Esri users for clues that inform better products and support. They link customers' perspective to innovation by reviewing feature requests in Ideas Exchanges and use them to enrich Esri products’ capabilities. They’re educators who speak one-to-many while producing blog articles, documentation, and videos that provide valuable supplement to official Help Documentation and Esri Technical Support. … In short, these incredible individuals demonstrate what it means to think and act as part of a prosperous community.
Leading Esri Staff Contributors
This year, we’re providing special recognition to groups of five Esri team members who contributed the greatest number of posts across three highly impactful categories:
Accepted Solutions: Accepted Solutions are answers supplied to members’ questions that have been confirmed as having resolved the question.
Blogs Authored: Blog articles play an important function in Esri Community by supplying readers with relevant news like product release details, event information, Esri user stories, or detailed use-cases.
Replies on Ideas: Ideas Exchanges are hubs for Esri users to share feature requests and Esri staff may engage with those requests to enhance their use case understanding, to connect users with existing solutions, or to exchange other valuable insights.
The 100 Club
We’d like to highlight an additional list of other Esri staff who, through dedicated involvement, reached an exceptional level of participation we’re referring to as The 100 Club: those who published a minimum of 100 posts OR received 100 kudos in the last year.
. . . . .
As much as our Esri Community team would love to fully account for the quality of Esri staff contributions alongside these quantitative recognitions, we’re forced to acknowledge such a feat as beyond our abilities. From the examples we witness every day, however, we're eager to express how humbled we’re regularly left by the work of our intelligent, caring, and generous colleagues. Again, THANK YOU to everyone who makes this online gathering place such an incredible resource for Esri users!
