eSpatial, leading provider of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and pioneer in GIS delivered via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), has continued its planned growth with the creation of 12 new jobs to date in 2011.
The company anticipates creating an additional 8 jobs by the end of 2011, bringing the total number of new jobs created in 2011 to 20.
The company attributes its growth to the strong commercial proposition offered by its SaaS-based GIS system, eSpatial OnDemand GIS™.
“As GIS experts, we’ve long since understood the potential value that GIS offers every business,” says CEO Philip O’Doherty. “Making GIS software more available and affordable has driven huge customer interest.”
“This overwhelming interest in our GIS software has, in turn, enabled us to create new positions in the company.”
Employing the SaaS delivery model has enabled eSpatial to make its GIS software – typically a niche application employed by experts – available to a wider range of the business community, including SMBs.
Leveraging the SaaS delivery model has also made the pricing of eSpatial OnDemand GIS attractive, reducing it to a subscription-based model with low monthly charges per user.
“We anticipate continued success, particularly in the SMB market,” says O’Doherty. “We look forward to continuing to help businesses benefit from low-cost, enterprise-grade GIS software, and creating positions for talented individuals as a result.”
