UCLID Software and ESRI form Business Partnership
Award-winning conversion technology coming to the ESRI platform
Madison, WI – Today UCLID Software, maker of IcoMap conversion and mapping
software, announced that it has signed a Business Partner agreement with
ESRI Software. Under terms of this agreement, UCLID will develop data
conversion and basemap maintenance software for the ESRI platform.
“Our unique point-and-click technologies eliminate the conversion bottleneck
that plagues basemap creation. Soon ESRI users will be able to work with our
award-winning tools from within the ESRI platform,” explained UCLID
President and CEO Curt Szymanski.
UCLID develops the patented Mathematical Content Recognition™ (MCR™)
technology found in IcoMap software. This Text-to-Vector™ technology
converts bearings, distances and other survey data into parcel, vector maps
suitable for the cadastral layer of a GIS.
“ESRI’s software tools are known for handling the ‘Field-to-Fabric’ process
of integrating field measurements into a GIS. UCLID’s technologies handle
the other half of the equation - the ‘Land Records-to-Fabric™’ process,”
continued Mr. Szymanski. “We have the tools for quickly and accurately
moving all of the paper maps, legal descriptions and land records out of
file cabinets and into a GIS.”
“Because of the NILS project, more communities find themselves faced with
the prospect of moving from paper records to a GIS,” claims UCLID Vice
President of Software Development. “We’ve proven that our software can help
speed up the conversion process. Moving our patented technology to the ESRI
platform simply makes sense for the thousands of professionals who create
and maintain basemaps.”
UCLID expects to release an ESRI version of its IcoMap software later this
year. “Currently, ESRI users can buy IcoMap software that is
platform-independent. We will provide free upgrades for any user that wants
to upgrade to the ESRI platform once the ESRI version is released,” comments
UCLID Vice President of Sales and Marketing Joe Hanousek.
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, UCLID creates technologies and solutions for
rapidly converting paper-based land records into survey-accurate digital
files. Designed for title insurance professionals, surveyors, utility
companies, and GIS professionals, IcoMap eliminates the tedium and intense
labor involved in data conversion. UCLID’s IcoMap software received the
Governor’s Best of State New Product Award from the Wisconsin Society of
Professional Engineers.
