One of the most important of these was formed in 2004 when NLT became a partner with Esri, the world leader in location intelligence technology. This partnership enabled the companies to work together more collaboratively to leverage each other's technical and domain expertise to serve more customers. Over the next few years Esri collaborated with NLT, who provided Esri access to spatial database and web mapping subject matter experts through their developer support group. The two companies also joined forces on enterprise geospatial development and migration projects, including work for the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission in 2005.
NLT's success continued as it expanded from state and local to federal government clients, including the U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Agriculture, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), where the firm established itself as a trusted provider of a wide range of research, development, and technology implementation services for the national statistical, agricultural, and disasters communities. Working in mission-critical and computationally intensive environments, NLT became a leader in DevSecOps, cloud computing, real-time data integration and analytics, and high-performance web application development and visualization.
Over the years at FEMA, the partnership between NLT and Esri has proved vital as the companies work closely to help the agency establish and enhance robust geospatial infrastructures (including Disasters.Geoplatform.Gov and Gis.Fema.Gov) that support a variety of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery functions. Working together, the firms have implemented a portfolio of server, desktop, and field-based software solutions leveraging ArcGIS® Enterprise, ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, ArcGIS Image Server, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, and other packages that help users more easily conduct spatial analyses, manage and serve datasets, and communicate information to advise decision-making throughout the disaster lifecycle. Recently, leveraging the ArcGIS platform, Esri Story Maps, Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS, and other components, the firms have helped develop a suite of real-time dashboards, common operational pictures, and decision support tools (such as the all-hazards Incident Journals) that have transformed the agency's ability to quickly access, visualize, and share information when disaster strikes.
During the 2017 and 2018 disaster seasons- the most devastating and costly in U.S. history- geospatial software specialists from both firms developed and deployed interactive Esri-based dashboards that analyzed complex information to predict impacts to people and infrastructure; determine where disaster declarations are made and what kind of support is needed for survivors; guide evacuation, search, and rescue operations; assess damage; analyze economic recovery; and more. The teams are currently working on implementing new tools and web services in preparation for next season.
