Dublin/ Belfast 20th August 2026: Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), today announces a new partnership with DataBuilders to help organisations connect data held across enterprise systems, and use it to make faster and more informed decisions. The partnership combines Esri Ireland’s geospatial technology and GIS services with DataBuilders’ expertise in making enterprise data reliable, connected and ready to use.
Public and private sector organisations across Government, Infrastructure and Commercial markets, are increasingly running programmes that combine GIS, enterprise systems, cloud migration and AI, drawing on data held across multiple systems and formats. Where this data isn’t properly connected or governed, delivery slows and organisations get less value from their technology investment.
DataBuilders is a Dublin-based data intelligence and consulting firm. Under the new partnership, DataBuilders’ Safe-Software-certified FME specialists will work with Esri Ireland’s project teams to connect data and automate how it moves across systems, reducing duplication and lowering delivery risk for customers.
This partnership significantly strengthens both Databuilders and Esri Ireland’s ability to deliver end-to-end data transformation, migration, automation and governance services. By combining Esri Ireland’s expertise with DataBuilders’ specialist FME capabilities, customers will benefit from improved data quality, simplified integration and migration, and delivery of complex programmes with greater confidence and lower risk. Once data is connected and governed within ArcGIS, Esri’s location intelligence platform, organisations can use geospatial analytics more effectively and build the trusted data foundations needed for AI and other complex digital transformation programmes.
Paul Synnott, Managing Director of Esri Ireland, commented: “This partnership reflects the growing importance of trusted, connected data across the enterprise. Together, Esri Ireland and DataBuilders will provide customers with a stronger, more scalable capability for data transformation, migration, automation and governance, helping them remove silos and maximise the value of their technology investments.”
Aoibhinn Stuart, CEO of DataBuilders, added: “Most organisations don’t have a technology problem; they have a data problem hiding underneath it. Data is one of the most valuable assets any organisation holds, and its value depends on how trusted, connected and AI-ready it is. At DataBuilders, we shed light on your data, no matter its location or format, so it’s visible and actionable. By partnering with Esri Ireland, we’re bringing that capability directly to the GIS and data professionals who rely on ArcGIS every day, giving them higher-quality data, deeper analysis and the confidence to act on it.”
