Setting the Pace Worldwide
In 1999, Intergraph transformed geospatial product offerings for the
communications and utilities industries to create a more open and enabling
enterprise-focused IT environment. Intergraph continues to demonstrate
leadership with a major shift from isolated AM/FM/GIS to a
geospatially-enabled enterprise through the company's pre-integrated
geospatial resource management (GRM) solutions. GRM integrates a full range
of asset management and decision support tools into a truly blended,
enterprise-focused IT environment.
Six years ago, Intergraph championed the move of GIS to Microsoft Windows NT
by engineering a brand-new generation of GIS solutions, based on GeoMedia(R)
technology. This GeoMedia technology now provides the foundation for the
company's full slate of geospatial offerings. By Daratech's estimates,
PC-based GIS software accounted for 69 percent of total industry software
revenue. Today, Intergraph's PC-based GIS solutions lead this market segment
with 36 percent of the market.
Market revenue share is based on total revenues that are reported by
software vendors and analyzed by Daratech. The results are published in the
firm's new report on the GIS industry titled Geographic Information Systems
Markets and Opportunities 2000.
