DataQuick(R) and Keyhole Corporation Partner to Integrate Real Estate Information Solutions with
High-Resolution 3D Aerial Imagery
SAN DIEGO, CA, Jan 7, 2003 - DataQuick(R), a subsidiary of MacDonald Dettwiler and a premier provider of real
property data solutions, has entered a multi-faceted preferred partnership agreement with Keyhole Corporation to integrate and distribute Keyhole's
EarthViewer3D imagery-based rich mapping solution, with DataQuick's real estate information solutions.
DataQuick is the leader in innovative real property data solutions, and is now poised to again revolutionize the way real estate professionals do
business. By combining its award-winning products with access to interactive high-resolution 3D color imagery of a subject property, DataQuick
products will eliminate geographical boundaries and inform real estate decision makers in real time about the location and context of properties.
Keyhole Corporation's groundbreaking rich-mapping system, EarthViewer3D, delivers interactive access to satellite and aerial imagery of counties
across the United States and parcels of real estate within them. Keyhole's EarthViewer3D allows users to seamlessly "fly" from space to street
level, where they can easily view and interactively explore layers of information including roads, schools, businesses, and demographics.
Once the EarthViewer3D solution is integrated into DataQuick's line-up of marketing, research, analytics, and valuation products, customers will be
able to view high-resolution color photographs of target addresses and immediate surroundings while reviewing property profiles, sales histories,
comparables, and other valuable neighborhood data.
Real estate professionals will find the inclusion of high quality images with real estate data to be extremely valuable because it gives them instant
access to the physical and spatial details of a property that are second only to being on-site.
The combination of Keyhole's advanced rich-mapping system and DataQuick's real estate information will reduce common real estate business
cycles from days to minutes.
"We are delighted to be partnering with DataQuick to help their customers research, locate and purchase properties," said John Hanke, CEO,
Keyhole Corporation. "This partnership ensures that the real estate market has access to advanced rich-mapping systems that make their
professional processes, business decisions, and acquisitions faster and easier."
"DataQuick is firmly committed to providing its customers with the best products and services available. Keyhole's products contain the highest
quality aerial imagery viewing experience available. Their addition to DataQuick's product offering will allow us to offer our clients an even more
comprehensive view of a piece of property, enabling them to make better and more rapid business decisions," said Marshall Prentice, DataQuick
president.
