Partner with Bent Ear Solutions

Bent Ear Solutions (BES) partners with companies that want to reach public sector buyers. BES puts your data in front of emergency managers, public safety leaders, and critical infrastructure operators, inside the ArcGIS tools they already use. There are four ways to partner, and the right one depends on what your company sells today.

Four ways to partner with BES

Data owners

Turn your data into a feed agencies subscribe to.

Your company owns data that matters during an emergency. BES licenses it, adds symbology, pop-ups, and context, and publishes it as one authoritative layer for ArcGIS. Agencies subscribe to it as a BES feed.

Your part: Keep collecting your data, and share it with BES by API, file, or another method that suits you.
What BES does: Ingestion, hosting, and delivery, plus the contract with each agency and first-line support.

OEM partners

Build BES data into your application.

Your application already serves people who respond to emergencies. BES delivers its data as a feature service inside your product, and you offer it to your customers as part of what you sell.

Your part: Sell your application and keep the relationship with your customers.
What BES does: Delivers the feature service and keeps it current as the source data changes.

Referral partners

Offer BES data to your clients.

Your firm serves government or public safety clients. You bring BES data to them and hold the contract with your client, so a data offering joins your services without a build on your side.

Your part: Hold the client contract and the client relationship.
What BES does: Delivers the data to your clients as ArcGIS layers.

Passthrough partners

Sell your product to government through BES.

Your product already works, and agencies want it. BES offers it to them as is, under a BES contract, so you reach public sector buyers without changing what you sell.

As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), BES can also bring your product to agencies through set-aside purchasing, where it applies.

Your part: Deliver your product the way you do today.
What BES does: Holds the contract, invoices the agency, and pays you your share.

Why partner with BES

Partners each run their own business. BES adds a revenue channel into government and public safety, and does the GIS work that channel needs.

Configured layers, not code

BES delivers your data as configured GIS layers that are easy to read, so agencies use the data instead of programming against it.

Ready for ArcGIS

Agencies add the layers in ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, or ArcGIS Pro through REST endpoints and feature layers.

Useful daily and during a disaster

Your data supports the daily work of an operations center and the decisions made during an activation.

Reach that keeps growing

BES distributes data through several business models, so it reaches buyers across industries and regions.

One feed is a data stream. Aggregated, it becomes a decision.

Your data alone
Valuable, but tied to one domain. It still needs integration and geocoding before it fits a customer's operating picture.
Aggregated by BES
BES combines it with outage, weather, alert, and event feeds, then builds one ArcGIS-ready layer set from them.
Operational intelligence
Customers act on a current picture of what is happening to their assets, with no data wrangling and nothing to build on their side.

Working with an aggregator puts your data in front of markets, and inside workflows, that raw data alone can't reach.

Feeds you can offer your customers

OEM and referral partners build on the same feeds agencies subscribe to, each delivered as ArcGIS layers.

Power Outage

Shows where the power is out, block by block, and which hospitals and shelters sit inside the outage.

Risk Intelligence

Turns hundreds of scattered reports into evolving, confidence-scored incident records on the map.

Emergency and safety
Infrastructure
Climate
Health
Geopolitics
Cyber

Questions from partners

BES can work with any data format your source requires. Data can arrive in whatever way best suits your systems, and BES delivers it as ArcGIS feature layers.

BES sells mainly to state and local government, led by emergency management, and to public safety agencies, utilities, and critical infrastructure operators. Partner channels carry the data further, into other industries and regions.
