CAMBRIDGE, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Oct 20, 2008 -- MetaCarta, Inc., the leading provider of geographic search and referencing solutions, today announced a partnership with Exceptional Software Strategies, Inc., an information technology solutions and services company that works with the U.S. Government, educational institutions, and private industry. Under the agreement, MetaCarta geosearch solutions will be integrated into EarthSpector™, a web-based GIS visualization and analysis tool.
"Exceptional Software is excited to partner with MetaCarta to provide advanced geographic visualization solutions. We have combined the strengths of MetaCarta's Geographic Search and Referencing Platform (GSRP) with the power of EarthSpector's web-based geo-visualization to produce an integrated GIS solution for analysts," said Ray Bowen, President of Exceptional Software Strategies. "Together, we have taken GIS visualization to the next level."
The pairing of these tools will combine flexible and fast-paced mapping from the EarthSpector Server and 2D Client, and the thoroughness of MetaCarta's GSRP. As the MetaCarta platform processes geocoding requests, EarthSpector Server prepares the information for visualization via EarthSpector 2D, which runs in any web browser. Map data is locally stored on the user's computer for a faster mapping experience.
"Visualization of geographic data is becoming increasingly important in the public sector," said John Donnelly III, Vice President of Sales and Field Operations for MetaCarta. "We are pleased to be working with Exceptional Software and are looking forward to a successful relationship."
Exceptional Software's EarthSpector and MetaCarta's GSRP will be showcased at the GEOINT Symposium in Nashville, Tennessee on October 27-30, 2008, in booths #180 and #858.
