Spatial analytics company Esri is to place National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency personnel in temporary positions as part of an embedded training program, the company announced on Thursday.

Esri said NGA employees will be able to use company products to generate imagery and data content using a range of spatial analytics products offered by Esri.

Among those products will be Living Atlas of the World, an authoritative, comprehensive collection of high-quality online geographic information.
