Reseller Compass Informatics has partnered with sole distributor for ERDAS desktop software, Infoterra, to drive the product into the Irish market.

From August, Dublin-based Compass Informatics will include the ERDAS desktop software in its portfolio of integrated, information management services focused on environmental and natural resources management, location and planning applications.

Phil Cooper, imaging software business manager at Infoterra, said: “We are delighted to have Compass Informatics as part of our team and to offer customers in Ireland local sales and support, together with training.

“We will be holding our first geoimaging user group conference in September and look forward to welcoming many ERDAS users from the UK and Ireland.”

Gearóid Ó Riain, managing director at Compass Informatics, said: “With this valuable product suite we will be able to offer customers a wider range of solutions, from image processing and analysis, to image compression and sharing - solutions which are as applicable to the small company as to global enterprises.

“We are currently planning information seminars and training courses which will run later this year and throughout 2009.”
