My Esri aims to be a self-service site. We want it to be a place where you can get all the information about your organization’s relationship with Esri. But what if you can’t find what you are looking for? What if you find incorrect information you want to let us know about it? What if you have a question?

Here are some methods you can use to contact us, and the best reason to use one over the other.

Method

Where to Find It

When to Use This Method (Examples)

What Happens when you Use It

Ask a Question

On almost every page of My Esri. It appears below the side navigation.

It can also be found on the Get Help pop up, which appears when you click the ? (question mark) next to the tabs in the banner.

It can also be accessed from the Dashboard - see the Ask a Question sub tab.

Sends your question via email to our Customer Service department or to your distributor to assist you.

UPDATED 10/4/2019: Since the end of June, for US organizations, your questions now create cases in our ticketing system. You can view and track these cases on the Support sub tab, in the Customer Service Cases section. We are working to include the case-creation functionality for our non-US users.
