Northwood Name Change Signals New FocusAccording to president Johannes R. Hill, the renaming of the company is a natural evolution, and reflects the company’s strength as a leading developer of innovative spatial information management (SIM) software products. “Recognizing the pace at which our software products are being adopted outside the traditional geoscience fields, we are repositioning the company to address new market opportunities in the spatial technology marketplace. Today, we are helping customers in business sectors such as the fast-growing wireless telecommunications industry to not only manage information that has a geographic component but also to share that information across the enterprise and over the Internet. Moreover, our software development tools are playing a key role in extending the reach of spatial technology and facilitating the integration of spatial information into new custom applications.” As the developer of deciBel Planner®, Vertical Mapper™ and Virtual Frontier™, Northwood serves a wide range of market sectors including wireless telecommunications, crime prevention, health care, mineral exploration, agriculture, business marketing, environmental monitoring, and municipal planning.
