Last week, Erdas received two significant awards at the Map India Conference. These awards followed the company’s successful ERDAS User Group Meeting (UGM) in Gurgaon, with over 475 users from various market segments participating in the event.
At Map India 2010, ERDAS was recognized as the “Best Remote Sensing/Image Processing Company” and “Best Photogrammetry Company” . Delegates attending the conference were asked to vote on these awards.
In 2007, ERDAS opened its India headquarters in Gurgaon, India, strengthening the company’s technical support and application services for customers in the region. Since then, ERDAS has expanded its operations with staff in New Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkatta, Chennai, Pune and Dehradun, building customized and localized geospatial solutions, meeting the needs of this rapidly expanding market.
The India UGM took place on January 18, 2010. This event was a part of the ERDAS Rocks World Tour supporting the company’s 2010 software release. The UGM provided an opportunity for users to interact with industry peers, view product demonstrations and participate in technical discussions on geospatial technologies. Attendees heard presentations from members of the management team at ERDAS, as well as presentations from the Department of Science & Technology, National Informatics Centre, Dept of Space, Geological Survey of India, OGC, DigitalGlobe, Oracle and many others. GIS Development was the official media partner for the event, which took place prior to the Map India Conference.
