RICHMOND HILL, Ontario,
Canada—November 13, 2013: PCI Geomatics, a
world-leading developer of geoimaging software and systems, announced today
that it has signed an Industry-Academia Cooperation Agreement with Feng Chia
University (FCU), located in Taichung, Taiwan, and Lotus (H&R) Inc.,
exclusive reseller of PCI Geomatics technology in Taiwan.
In order to promote cooperation and knowledge
exchange, PCI Geomatics has created the “PCI Geomatics Education Alliance
Program” designed to create strong reciprocal relationships with select
educational institutions. Under the terms of the Alliance Program, PCI
Geomatics provides software licenses to support teaching and research
activities in exchange for insights into the work being conducted at the
University with PCI Geomatics software. The program fosters communication between
the University and PCI Scientists as well as provides an outlet to the
commercial world highlighting the work conducted at the University using PCI Geomatics
software.
PCI Geomatics will be supporting the
University through its exclusive distributor to Taiwan, Lotus (H&R) Inc.
Lotus will deliver software support services for PCI software via onsite visits
and through regular communications, as well as provide assistance with localized
training and documentation material in Mandarin.
“PCI is pleased to sign this important
agreement in person here in Taichung, as we greatly value the contributions of universities
and other educational institutions to advance our collective knowledge of
remote sensing science and applications,” said Terance M. Moloney, President
and CEO of PCI Geomatics. “The purpose of the Education Alliance Program is to
support the education sector, which acts as a beacon for teaching, research and
innovation.”
“We are pleased to have been selected to
participate in PCI’s Education Alliance Program,” said Dr. Lung-Shih Yang, Vice
President of Feng Chia University. “Geomatica is an excellent teaching aid in
conveying the fundamentals of Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing. In
addition, it offers excellent tools for customization that are leveraged for
research in directed studies.”
