Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used for
computer-based mapping and analysis of geological and meteorological events. GIS
integrate geographic and other cartographic data input and analyses with
sophisticated database technology that provides query and statistical analysis
capabilities. GIS are utilized primarily by government agencies involved in
managing and analyzing geographic, natural resource, meteorological and other
geological resources and events.
GTCO CalComp is a leading supplier of digitizing
tablets to the GIS market, due primarily to the Company's proprietary technology
and manufacturing process to produce digitizing systems with ultra-high accuracy
and reliability. Furthermore, the Company invented and patented a new
technology, called surface lighting, which provides superior illumination,
compared to competing products which utilize a traditional light box design. As
a result of this new technology, GTCO CalComp has won the digitizing tablet
portion of the two largest GIS contracts to be awarded in the US, as a
subcontractor to IBM on a US Forest Service GIS contract, and to Computer
Sciences Corporation on the US Bureau of Land Management contract.
