Together with ESRI, they will provide users with optimized desktop and server based workflows for correcting commercial satellite imagery along with tools for processing and analyzing radar imagery.

PCI Geomatics will produce software that is integrated closely with ArcGIS. This will allow both ESRI and PCI users to capitalize on their imagery investments and expand their use of geo-imaging and geospatial data.
