During that time, they have offered a variety of image products ranging from digital orthophotography to individual photos of prominent landmarks. Signing a partner agreement with Pictometry International Corp. of Rochester, NY allows Sidwell to significantly expand their offerings to include Pictometry® Intelligent Images®.
