ICEYE enhances flood intelligence availability for New Zealand with Eagle Technology agreement

Helsinki, Finland – 15th July 2024 – ICEYE, a world-leading provider of natural catastrophe solutions and insights, has announced an analytics data reselling partnership with Eagle Technology, an information management company, to sell and deliver the ICEYE Flood Insights product for New Zealand as a reseller partner.

Eagle Technology is the distributor for Esri’s ArcGIS platform in New Zealand and the South Pacific, the global leader in GIS technology, mapping, and spatial analytics software. ICEYE’s flood intelligence services will be available for customers to purchase for the ArcGIS platform, benefiting commercial entities, including insurance companies, as well as emergency management agencies.

A warming climate resulting in increased humidity is expected to increase the frequency and severity of flood events across the regions.

“ICEYE is a global Esri partner with its ArcGIS system-ready solution, delivered as a feature in Image Layers, for which it won an award at Esri’s 2023 Partner Conference. With the recent weather events and the expected ongoing effects of climate change, we are very pleased to bring this technology to New Zealand and our customers,” says Duane Eagle, Managing Director, Eagle Technology.

In the event of a major flood anywhere in New Zealand, subscribers to the ICEYE near real-time analysis will be able to access observation-derived flood analysis, including overall extent measurements and flood inundation levels at the property level. These insights will support faster loss assessments, improved claims management, and more accurate capital allocation as well as bolstering disaster response efforts.

Commenting on the announcement, Paul Barron, Global Head of Partnerships at ICEYE, said: “Providing increasingly rapid access to near real-time hazard analytics data in the Esri platform through Eagle Technology will make it easier for clients to access and benefit actionable intelligence during events to improve decision making and facilitate speedier responses. I am excited to have Eagle Technology as an ICEYE partner.”
