geoConvergence, an SBA 8(a) Certified Small Business, earned Esri’s ArcGIS Indoors Specialty designation in recognition of their knowledge and expertise in indoor mapping for use in creating connected workspaces. GIS incorporates geographical features to map, analyze and assess real-world problems. ArcGIS Indoors can be used to map and analyze the interiors of office buildings, warehouses and other structures for a variety of commercial and government purposes.

“We’re honored to be among a handful of Esri Partner Network companies to earn this designation,” said Prem Radhakrishnan, geoConvergence co-founder and CEO. “The demand for indoor mapping technology continues to grow exponentially and our partnership with Esri allows us to help customers modernize their workplace operations and create smart buildings for efficient workforce and space management.”

In 2020, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane’s Global Deterrence and Defense (GX) Department awarded geoConvergence an SBA 8(a) Direct Award contract to provide indoor mapping of a 150,000 square foot structure using ArcGIS Indoors. Capabilities such as space management, scenario modeling, and asset tracking were included in the solution.

The GX Department at NSWC Crane was instrumental in geoConvergence attaining the Esri Indoors Specialty designation. NSWC Crane also leveraged the SBA’s 8(a) program that allowed them to shorten the contracting life cycle from possibly years to days/months. Firms certified in the SBA 8(a) program are eligible for receiving direct contract awards from the Federal Government to ease the burden of contracting and help small businesses grow.

“We’re grateful to the leadership at NSWC Crane that engage with a small business like geoConvergence,” explained Radhakrishnan. “Opportunities like this help both the government obtain critical services while enabling small, disadvantaged businesses to make meaningful contributions and to grow.”
