LizardTech®, a
provider of software solutions for managing and distributing geospatial
content, is exhibiting this week at the 2012 Esri Federal GIS Conference
in Washington, D.C. in booth #401. This year the company celebrates its
20th anniversary, a milestone that is both exciting and reassuring.
Founded in 1992, LizardTech pioneered the MrSID® file
format, which became the de facto standard among the geospatial
community. Before MrSID came along, dealing with geospatial imagery
required specialized workstations, since datasets that were hundreds of
megabytes in size were completely unwieldy, and imagery resolution was
in the tens of meters. Imagery was practically unusable. The
introduction of the MrSID format in 1992, which compressed georeferenced
image data at high ratios without sacrificing the visual quality of the
image, opened up the field of geospatial image use.
“I think the key to our success is that we listen to our customers and
provide quality software that’s in demand,” said Jon Skiffington,
director of product management. “At the end of the day it’s all about
what our customers want and need, and developing a file format that’s
been accepted by the majority of the geospatial community is the
greatest achievement of all.”
At the Esri Federal GIS Conference Skiffington will be on hand to
answer any questions pertaining to the history of the company. He will
also be conducting demonstrations of GeoExpress® software, which enables geospatial professionals to compress and manipulate satellite and aerial imagery,Express Server® software for high-performance delivery and publication, and LiDAR Compressor™software, which turns giant point cloud datasets into efficient MrSID files.
