From The General Manager

Dear customers,

As we find ourselves at the start of a new year, we at LizardTech are looking back with satisfaction at what we accomplished in 2007 and forward with anticipation toward what we hope to achieve in 2008. Our first milestone this year will be the release of version 7 of our flagship product, GeoExpress. I'm eager to hear from you what you think of it. Several months ago, I wrote to convey our thanks to the geospatial community for participating in our product survey, which gave us important insights into the kinds of things that you our users value and what you'd like to see in future versions of GeoExpress. We listened. While GeoExpress 7 is set to roll out the door with several new big features, we also returned again and again to those survey results to find ideas we could implement in the product to simply make it easier to use. We have added things like 64-bit support, the ability to export to GeoTIFF, and "commuter licensing," where you can check out a GeoExpress seat and go offline with it for travel. We want you to know we value your input. In addition there will soon be two new ways of communicating with us. With the launch of GeoExpress 7 we will be instituting forums and a blog. Our number one goal is to create products that help you work the way you need to work. Let us know how we're doing, and have a Happy New Year.

Best Regards,
Jim
