The 8^th annual Geocortex User Conference will be taking place June 19^th and 20^th this year. While the conference format has evolved over time (from on-premise to virtual), one thing has remained constant: the conference delivers a huge bang for the buck in helping our customers gain the knowledge needed to make the most of their investment in Geocortex, ArcGIS Server, and now, ArcGIS Online technology.

Join us for two information-packed days that’ll help you develop ideas and turn those ideas into real-world results. Register by May 31^st and take advantage of a special early registration rate. To register and learn more about the conference, please visit our website.

During two presentations at the Esri International User Conference in July, we previewed what’s possible with our new Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 1.1. We showed how our workflow technology can be used to develop task-centric mobile applications, and the demo included cutting edge iPad-based feature editing in a disconnected (offline) environment.

For those who missed it or couldn’t see/hear the demo due to the number of people, be sure to attend this encore presentation.

We can think of no better way for organizations to maximize their investment in Geocortex software than our annual user conference.

With over 20 hours of online presentations available, experts and users share tips, pragmatic experience and best practices that help people get real work done. The conference sessions are recorded, such that this exclusive content can be viewed by registrants at their leisure later on.

We have a fantastic Conference Agenda lined up. Check it out. Register by May 15^th to take advantage of our special early registration rate.

At Latitude Geographics, we recognize that in-depth industry knowledge provides a valuable context for creating more powerful, meaningful web-mapping applications. While our roots are firmly established in the government space, over the years, we’ve worked with organizations in many different sectors. Building on our trusted technology foundation, there’s never been a better time to augment Geocortex solutions with industry specific approaches. We plan to do this incrementally, branching out into targeted sectors as we grow our expertise organically.

For example, over the past two years, our Business Development Manager for Energy, Rob Lenarcic, has steadily built up a strong base of customers in the petroleum sector. We have seen outstanding results as we work more closely with our petroleum industry customers in addressing their web-GIS challenges such as adoption of the PODS geodatabase model.

Public Safety is another sector which continues to be very dynamic and where Geocortex is uniquely positioned to address specific GIS challenges. A recent example: through our partnership with NorthSouth GIS LLC, the Port of Los Angeles now uses Geocortex to address their security requirements (which you can learn more about here).

So we’ve clearly seen that successful business area growth requires expert domain knowledge. To this end, we are very pleased to welcome Francis Graf as our new Business Development Manager for Public Safety. Prior to joining us, Francis was the founder and CEO of FDR Forensic Data Recovery Inc. (FDR). Under his leadership, the company grew to being the one of the leading digital forensics professional services companies in Canada. During this time, Francis worked closely with law enforcement agencies, corporations, government and law firms across Canada, the United States, Indonesia, the UK and Saudi Arabia. Francis is also a former police officer and since founding FDR he has been involved in a wide range of highly sensitive civil and criminal investigations. We are looking forward to introducing Francis to our customers so that we can provide even more value to meet their Public Safety needs.

The industry knowledge and experience that both Rob and Francis bring to Latitude and its customers is very valuable. Over the coming year, you will see further news as we work closely with our customers in other sectors and help them solve real world GIS problems with innovative solutions using Geocortex. Stay tuned.

Spring training is almost over for baseball this year, and likewise, for Geocortex. We usually take a breather over the summer months from our busy training schedule and restart in the Fall.

New staff? Changing roles? Big project about to start? If you have been contemplating getting up-to-speed on Geocortex, we have online training taking place this month and in May. Visit our Geocortex website to learn more and to register.
