Where do you work and what is your role?
I work for Innovyze, Inc. We make hydraulic modeling tools integrated inside the ArcGIS environment. I am the Global Lead for Strategic Partnerships and work closely with many of the other Esri Partners who are in the Water space.
What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use?
As a company that makes engineering tools, our GIS success is in getting those tools out to the community for use by end users (Water, Sewer, Stormwater Utilities, Cities and other Municipalities and also the trusted Consulting Firms that work closely with them). Our InfoWater, InfoSWMM, and InfoSewer are staples in the industry and our more recent InfoAsset Planner helps solve the aging infrastructure issue that is hitting the US hard and that most of the rest of the world has had to deal with already.
What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?
My background/expertise is ~35 years in the water space working originally as a consultant on master plan projects and then helping to found our company and to get ArcGIS based modeling tools out to the community.
