PCI Geomatics® renews Eduserv Chest agreement for educational institutes in the U.K. and Ireland

Richmond Hill, OntarioFebruary 2, 2005: PCI Geomatics is pleased to announce that the current Eduserv Chest agreement for Geomatica® software – which applies to educational institutes in the U.K. and Ireland – has been renewed for three more years.

“By renewing this agreement, PCI Geomatics can continue to support geospatial science and geomatics programs in universities across the U.K. and Ireland,” says Iain MacInnes , PCI Geomatics’ sales manager for the U.K. “The Eduserv Chest program is helping educational institutes receive value for their money.”

Under the PCI Geomatics Chest agreement, educational organisations can rent Geomatica and eCognition software for remote sensing, photogrammetry, and GIS at low cost on a site license basis.

The eCognition software package – which provides rule-based knowledge image analysis and classification – is available with or without Geomatica as an option under the agreement.

"We are delighted to renew our relationship with PCI and our agreement for this well regarded software," says Nikki Green, manager of Eduserv Chest. "We're particularly pleased with the addition of the eCognition package to the deal, and hope that this will prove popular with sites already making good use of the Geomatica modules."

Eduserv Chest negotiates for all forms of commercial electronic resources (software, courseware, abstracts, full text, journals, etc.) available for the education and research communities in the U.K., Ireland, and various other groups.

In most cases, Chest manages the resultant agreements and makes the derived benefits as widely available as possible. The process is driven by user demand and the need to provide higher monetary value for educational and research groups.
