Planware Systems, the leader in providing software solutions for school district planners is pleased to announce that it has expanded its relationship in ESRI's Business Partner Program to include Value Added Reseller status for ESRI's ArcGIS, Network Analyst, and Spatial Analyst for the K-12 Educational industry.

Planware Systems currently provides software, training, and consulting services to K-12 school districts nationwide.

The ESRI Business Partner Program is a network of more than 2,000 domestic and international developers, consultants, data partners, value-added resellers, authorized instructors, and authorized partner education centers that, utilizing ESRI technology, provide solutions and training to meet the GIS needs of every industry. Working together, ESRI and its business partners solve business problems with new software applications, data, value-added services, and training. Planware Systems will also offer ESRI ArcView training through Mr. Pete Kennedy, an ESRI Authorized Training Partner.
