Both tech companies are partners in the Esri Partner Network (EPN), a global ecosystem of organizations established to help users around the world utilize the benefits of Esri’s ArcGIS software, location intelligence solutions, and mapping tools.

With overlapping clientele in various industries, the collaboration allows for the seamless integration of services,” says Baron Weather’s Vice President of Enterprise Sales Marc Krasner. “For Baron customers seeking ArcGIS apps and solutions, GEO Jobe’s expertise can help them augment their existing infrastructure or extend it through their organization. Similarly, GEO Jobe’s clients needing top-tier weather data can receive the best-in-class intelligence to master weather-related challenges and ensure the safety and efficiency of their operations, thus reinforcing their competitive edge. So, this partnership creates a mutually beneficial scenario for all customers involved.”
GEO Jobe’s extensive customer base, which includes a diverse array of organizations within Baron’s target demographic, sets the stage for a strategic collaboration. By actively engaging with these shared clients, Baron aims to equip them with crucial weather data necessary for adeptly navigating severe weather events, climate impacts and other hazardous conditions. This proactive approach ensures the safety of their personnel, assets, and business operations.
Aligning with GEO Jobe’s philosophy, which emphasizes the positive impact of business on communities, the partnership with Baron Weather signifies a shared commitment to community advancement. Leveraging their combined resources and expertise, GEO Jobe and Baron Weather are poised to make an even more significant and positive impact on a global scale.

Accordingly, I strongly believe GEO Jobe’s clients will benefit immensely from accessing Baron Weather’s data offerings,” says GEO Jobe CEO David Hansen.
