HAMILTON, ONTARIO – Feb. 12th, 2013 – GeoDigital International Inc. announced today a new collaboration with Google, helping utility organizations to effectively address the fast growing and heavily regulated aspects of engineering and vegetation management in both Transmission and Distribution markets. Google’s Enterprise mapping products, combined with GeoDigital’s marketleading position in corridor asset management, provide the strong solutions-based platform required for facilitating the immediate delivery of actionable imagery and LiDAR-derived business intelligence across an enterprise and to the mobile worker.

GeoDigital’s President and CEO Alastair N. Jenkins commented that “With its unrivalled infrastructure, Google can open new possibilities for how the utilities industry can benefit from cloudbased applications. Together, we can ensure the delivery of accurate and actionable location information both to an enterprise and to a mobile device in days, not months.” Jenkins continued by adding “This agreement offers GeoDigital a unique opportunity to integrate Google Maps Engine, a cloud-enabled mapping platform, providing our customers with an unprecedented data storage strategy in parallel with our already successful Software and Information As A Service (SIAAS) solutions.”
