The main focus now is to bring together the right information for the right problem, believes Robert Laudati, Managing Director, Commercial Products & Solutions, Harris Geospatial Solutions
Harris Geospatial Solutions is known for its contributions towards solving real-world problems. How would you describe the journey so far?
Harris Geospatial’s mission has been to look beyond its tools and contribute towards solving real-world problems using technology. The journey so far has been highly exciting. Some of the works of the company include everything from helping utilities to get a clear understanding of the condition and location of their infrastructure to helping agriculture businesses tailor crop management decisions to boost yields and profits. Technology develops at a rapid pace, and to remain relevant and shine through, one needs to continuously evolve. Thankfully, we have been able to keep up with the pace, and at the same time, make significant contributions to the change. Harris Geospatial Marketplace was one such important effort. It came into being when an organization called MapMart.com was acquired by Harris in 2014. The vision was to put together data and analytics to provide real-world solutions.
What is unique about Harris Geospatial Marketplace? How is it different from other imagery providers?
Since its inception, the platform has progressed a lot, engaging many of the leading data providers to provide their data through the MapMart marketplace portal. Taking the technology further, the platform is providing both very simple and very complex solutions so that the customers do not have to worry about where the data is coming from or how to install products locally. They just get access to the solution that they need to solve their problem.
