Mitigation Analyst Lite, a REGULAR MEMBER benefit of the National Environmental Banking Association, has just upgraded to v6.0. The latest dashboards are built in partnership between NEBA member Trout Headwaters, Inc (THI) and Esri.
As environmental bankers well know, the sheer volume of environmental data available is overwhelming. Couple that with the fact that vital mitigation industry data exists in multiple databases, and generally without the advantage of solid analytics or support.
“We have been working directly with Esri to tailor v6.0 of the platform for improved navigation and versatility in support of holistic environmental resource conservation, restoration and management,” said Michael Sprague, product developer and CEO of Trout Headwaters, Inc (THI).
