Data Science, Analytics & Engineering
Intelligent data integration. Spatially smarter decisions.
Most data engineering workflows treat location as an afterthought. A coordinate pair in a table. A postal code in a field. Blue Raster builds pipelines where location is a first-class dimension, enriching your data with spatial context, running geographic joins and hotspot analysis at scale, and publishing insight-ready spatial layers directly into ArcGIS and Power BI.
We combine Microsoft Fabric's unified analytics platform with ArcGIS's powerful spatial data engineering tools to build modern, cloud-native data pipelines that bring together the breadth of Microsoft's data ecosystem with the depth of Esri's location intelligence, giving your organization a single, integrated data foundation for every analysis and decision.
ArcGIS Data Pipelines
Visual Spatial Data Engineering
ArcGIS Data Pipelines is a no-code, visual data integration tool built into ArcGIS Online that allows analysts and data engineers to build spatial data pipelines without writing code. It focuses on data integration tasks for non-sensor-based workflows, turning messy, multi-source datasets into clean, insight-ready spatial layers.
Blue Raster uses ArcGIS Data Pipelines to build repeatable data workflows for clients who need to regularly ingest, transform, and publish spatial data from multiple sources. Whether you are combining parcel data with demographic layers or integrating field survey results with enterprise databases, we build the pipeline that keeps your data current and your teams informed. We can:
- Automate data updates with scheduled pipeline runs
- Build multi-source pipelines using spatial joins, filters & calculations
- Format and preview results before publishing to ArcGIS
- Output data as hosted layers ready for dashboards, maps, or analysis
Microsoft Fabric + ArcGIS
Enterprise Scale Spatial Analytics
Microsoft Fabric is a unified, cloud-native SaaS analytics platform that brings together data engineering, data science, data integration, and business intelligence in one environment. ArcGIS for Microsoft Fabric brings over 180 spatial SQL and track functions directly into the Fabric Spark environment, enabling hotspot analysis, spatial joins, pattern identification, and movement analysis without moving data out of your existing infrastructure. Results flow seamlessly into Power BI and ArcGIS for visualization and action.
Blue Raster integrates ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric to add a powerful spatial layer to your Fabric workflows, enabling geospatial data transformation, enrichment, and analysis at enterprise scale using Spark notebooks and Data Factory pipelines. We can:
- Run location-based analyses at scale
- Enrich data with geographic context
- Identify patterns and outliers across place and time
- Visualize spatial relationships in reports and dashboards
- Foster collaboration between GIS, data science, and BI team
Why Blue Raster
The Spatial Data Partner at the Intersection
Spatial First, Not Spatial Afterthought
Most data engineering teams add location as an afterthought. Blue Raster treats it as a first-class dimension from the start, building pipelines where geographic context enriches every dataset and spatial analytics power every downstream analysis.
Microsoft and Esri Expertise
Blue Raster is uniquely positioned to work across both the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem and the Esri ArcGIS platform. We bridge the two, building integrated pipelines that leverage the best of both environments without requiring two separate teams or vendors.
Built for Enterprise Data Volumes
Whether you are processing millions of parcel records, enriching global health datasets, or analyzing supply chain data across continents, Blue Raster builds pipelines that scale with your data. We have handled large-scale spatial processing projects for government, nonprofit, and commercial clients.
From Pipeline to Published Dashboard
Blue Raster does not stop at data engineering. We follow the data all the way to the insight, building the ArcGIS dashboards, Power BI reports, and web maps that put your processed spatial data in the hands of the people who need it most.
Ready To Add Location To Your Data
Your Data Knows More Than You Think
Whether you are building spatial pipelines in Microsoft Fabric, configuring ArcGIS Data Pipelines, or looking for a partner to connect your enterprise data to the ArcGIS platform, Blue Raster is ready to help you unlock the where in your data.
