Toronto, ON - ESRI Canada is pleased to announce that the following Canadian Business Partners, Helical Systems, Latitude Geographics Group Limited, and DMTI Spatial, received recognition awards on February 12th at the 2005 ESRI Business Partner Conference held in Palm Springs, California. Awards were presented to Business Partners to recognize their important contribution to the success of the Business Partner program.
Helical Systems Inc. - New Partner of the Year
"The award is based on Helical's work in developing an extension to the ESRI ArcGIS suite of products that enables ArcGIS to directly read Helical's SDS file format," said Eric Melanson, Atlantic Region Manager, ESRI Canada. "This is a valuable solution for organizations that need to efficiently manage and access large stores of information like bathymetric and Lidar data. We are excited to have Helical as an ESRI Canada business partner and are looking forward to working with them in the future."
SDS, or Self Defining Structure, is used extensively in the Hydrographic market to store, manage, and visualize bathymetric data. This significant development now permits Helical's SDS file structure to be directly accessed within the native ArcGIS environment.
Helical Systems Inc. is a company focused on the development of a platform for Very Large Data Base (VLDB) management. The advanced capabilities of the software allow for the acquisition, visualization, fusion, management and archiving of near limitless quantities of data in real time.
