    • Greetings!

    We are in the midst of a heat wave in Canada – but just because we have finally reached the dog days of summer, that doesn’t mean that things are slowing down at PCI Geomatics.

    You may have seen us recently at GeoBrasil in Sao Paulo where we shared booth space with our resellers Threetek. Or perhaps you saw us in Denver at the IGARRS show, where we demonstrated our Geomatica Image Management System (GIMS). No matter where we are, PCI staff is committed to providing useful and effective information – showing you how to add value to your business.

    PCI Geomatics is pleased to continue to offer our popular and free webinar sessions! We hope you’ll join us for topics that are current within our industry trends.

    Looking for more information? Download our latest brochures of Geomatica X and Geomatica 10. Or drop by our booth at any one of our upcoming tradeshows – we’d love to see you and answer any questions you may have.

    In this issue of Footsteps and Futures we want you to experience the power of Geomatica 10 and rediscover why PCI Geomatics is the world leading developer of image centric software and solutions for the geospatial industry.

    		Tips and Tricks

    Geomatica 10 has incorporated more features into the Modeler environment, such as the Reprojection and Clipping utilities, (previously only available from Focus or OrthoEngine environments). This allows users to increase their productivity as they can now batch process (requires license for Desktop Production Plus) several files at the same time. The process is easy to follow and sample models of both Batch Reprojection and Batch Clipping are available on the customer support web page. For more information please click here.
