Future of GenaMap GIS Secured

The future of the GenaMap software suite is assured following a management buyout of the intellectual property (IPR) rights by senior managers of Genasys' International Sales Team. Led by Tony Adams and Simon Thompson, the new company will be put into place to reinforce and grow the GenaMap product suites' share of world-wide markets. Whilst in charge of the Europe, Africa, Middle East region, Tony and Simon led the company to profitable growth and successes in all of the major spatial markets.

GenaMap and its related products will be developed and supported by a newly formed company, GenaWarehouse, which is headquartered in the UK. The company has secured the IPR to all Genasys spatial products and has established distributor and business partnerships across the globe. Access to both institutional and private financial backing ensures the growth and future prosperity of GenaWarehouse business activities.

GenaWarehouse will make considerable investment in product development and will continue work to support, maintain and improve both the existing and emerging product lines. GenaWarehouse has secured the core of the product development unit that has developed GIS products for the past ten years and will invest in the emerging Internet and component based product lines. The GenaWarehouse management team has a combined experience of over 50 years in information systems and spatial technologies.

GenaWarehouse will focus its immediate attention on the needs of the GenaMap client base and the support of ongoing projects. This will be backed up by a forthcoming revision of GenaMap and associated products. In the US GenaWarehouse will strengthen and develop the marketing and support facilities for GenaMap users through a continued and expanding relationship with Camber Corporation.

GenaMap is recognised as one of the industries most powerful and flexible GIS solutions. As the world's first open spatial platform, GenaMap has a history of first and product innovations. In particular, GenaMap pioneered the support of an open API, open data interchange formats, interactive GUI development, distributable processing and atomic systems architecture. The experience gained from the success of GenaMap and its integration in mission critical and commercial solutions, has provided the basis for the design and development of the new product suite Nova Vista, due for commercial launch later this year.
