Domtar has signed an enterprise license agreement (ELA) to expand its usage of ESRI’s geographic information system (GIS) solutions within its Forest Products Group division to gain better operational visibility and enhance forest operations management.

The system will help Domtar manage its harvesting activity to protect forest values such as fish and wildlife, flora, water resources, tourism and natural heritage, and manage assets such as bridges, culverts, and roads. Domtar also uses GIS to support third-party forest certification, regulatory reporting, and public consultation with external stakeholders for forest management planning.

“ESRI’s leading GIS technology provides [businesses] the capability to produce a comprehensive picture of their operations in real time, enabling them to make critical decisions quickly and effectively,” said James Wickson, vice-president of sales and professional services, ESRI Canada.
