Aspen Scales Up Geospatial: Implementing ArcGIS Enterprise to Power Smarter, Faster Projects
Aspen Environmental Group is expanding its geospatial capabilities with Esri’s ArcGIS Enterprise, bringing centralized, secure, and collaborative mapping and data management to the heart of our client work.
Aspen has long leveraged Esri’s industry-leading geospatial tools to deliver rigorous, data-driven solutions for our clients. As project complexity and data volumes continue to grow, we’re excited to scale up with ArcGIS Enterprise, ensuring our clients benefit from the most secure, collaborative, and efficient mapping and data management available today. As projects increasingly rely on field-collected geospatial data and remote-sensed information, the volume and sensitivity of project datasets have grown dramatically. To meet that need, Aspen is implementing Esri’s ArcGIS Enterprise architecture for our client projects. Esri is a global leader in geospatial software and Aspen is proud to be an Esri Bronze Business Partner. We already put ArcGIS Pro 3.5.x, ArcGIS Online, and a range of spatial and modeling extensions to work across our field data collection, analysis, and data management workflows. ArcGIS Enterprise is the next logical step: it gives us a secure, scalable backbone to manage complex, multi-user geospatial programs with rigor and speed.
What ArcGIS Enterprise enables
Centralized Data. Data is stored centrally and securely, so everyone, from field crews to project managers, works from the same dataset.
Real-time Project Insight. Field teams can collect and sync sensitive resource and asset data instantly. Office staff and, when appropriate, client project managers can gain near real-time visibility into project progress, enabling faster response and decision-making.
Seamless Multi-User Collaboration. Multiple geospatial specialists can edit shared datasets simultaneously, accelerating updates and reducing rework.
Enhanced Quality Assurance & Control. Centralized versioning and audit trails improve data accuracy and traceability, supporting defensible project records and compliance.
Reduced risk, lower cost. Strong data governance and granular permissions minimize errors and duplication, lowering budgets while boosting transparency for stakeholders.
How this supports Aspen’s current work
ArcGIS Enterprise directly strengthens the services our clients depend on:
CEQA/NEPA & permitting: Efficiently manages large, multidisciplinary datasets (biological, cultural, air/noise, visuals) and supports map-rich administrative records for defensible environmental review.
Energy infrastructure (transmission, solar, storage, wind): Tracks linear assets and environmental constraints at scale, enables complex field surveys, and provides near-real-time construction monitoring dashboards.
Utilities & public works: Centralizes asset inspections, sensitive resource mapping, and mitigation monitoring. Ideal for water/sewer upgrades, broadband deployments, and corridor maintenance.
Biological & cultural resources: Standardizes sensitive data handling, automates survey-to-database workflows, and streamlines mitigation tracking and reporting for compliance and transparency.
Community outreach & transparency: Publishes curated web maps and dashboards (with appropriate permissions) empowering agencies and stakeholders to access clear, current project information.
What clients can expect
Accelerated Project timelines through parallelized editing and automated data flows
Fewer surprises with live, role-based dashboards and progress tracking
Smarter decision-making thanks to authoritative, analysis-ready data
Tailored, Secure access protecting sensitive information while enabling collaboration
