Blom has renewed and extended the existing agreement with Microsoft to 2014. The agreement allows Microsoft the right to use Blom's database of oblique aerial images - RealImagesT.
The RealImagesT database is based on Pictometry technology, and is the most extensive library of oblique aerial images, covering more than 1,100 cities in Europe. The contract has a value between USD 10 and USD 14 million from January 2010 until end of the contract period.
"Blom is very satisfied being one of the main providers of services to Microsoft's Bing MapsT, especially with their increased focus on their online map solution. Blom believe the contract forms an excellent basis for further expansion of the cooperation with Microsoft in a market with a very exciting future", says Nils Karbo, Chief Technical Officer Blom.
Blom will continue to provide the oblique images both offline and online through the company's own server BlomURBEXT.
