TOULOUSE, France, Sept. 5, 2012 – ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) subsidiary Exelis Visual Information Solutions has opened an office in Toulouse, France, as part of the company’s continued geographic expansion to increase its presence in key markets. The expansion will help the company meet the growing worldwide demand for its geospatial software products.
Headquartered in Boulder, Colo., Exelis Visual Information Solutions provides software designed to help professionals across industries and disciplines effectively use geospatial imagery and data to solve complex problems.
Exelis Visual Information Solutions currently serves the burgeoning geospatial marketplace in France with an office in Paris that provides software and custom services to key industries, including earth observation, environmental monitoring, and government security.
