With the completion of NEXTMap Europe, for the first time, uniformly accurate map data is available for the entire country of Portugal, which joins nationwide datasets for 21 countries across Western Europe. “This is a ‘win-win’ situation for everyone,” said Kevin Thomas, Intermap’s vice president of marketing. “Having the most reliable and uniformly accurate elevation data of Portugal available to users of ESRI’s superior suite of geospatial software creates a unique user experience across a vast array of markets and industries.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Intermap’s existing core datasets will be made available to ESRI Portugal customers and solution providers through its headquarters in Lisbon, as well as its extensive partner network. In addition, the agreement calls for the creation of market-specific geospatial solutions optimized for use with ESRI applications.
According to Vasco Pinheiro, ESRI Portugal chief executive officer, “Accurate 3D elevation data for GIS applications is crucial in order to supply the best maps to our users and also to offer a broad vision and added value to the market. This is part of our strategy in ESRI Portugal to constantly meet our users’ needs and provide them with the best solutions.”
