We’re excited to announce that Mike Long, Co-Founder of Spatialty, has received a 2025 Esri Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) Award for his impactful work at CapMetro, Austin’s regional transit agency.
We are proud to share that Spatialty Co-Founder Mike Long has been honored with the 2025 Esri Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) Award. This prestigious recognition highlights the innovative work Mike led during his tenure at CapMetro, where he architected a unified enterprise geospatial platform for Austin’s regional transit agency.
By bridging the gap between GIS and critical operational systems, Mike’s leadership transformed how data flows across the organization. Using FME and ArcGIS Enterprise, he engineered automated pipelines that integrated:
- Transit Operations: GTFS, OrbCAD, and Trapeze.
- Performance & Assets: Swiftly, Hexagon EAM, and Snowflake.
- IT & Open Data: ServiceNow, Jira, and Socrata.
The Foundation of Spatialty’s Expertise. This award-winning project serves as the technical backbone for the services we provide today. By moving beyond siloed data, the platform provides real-time spatial context that empowers smarter planning and faster operational response.
