Directions & USGIF: Collaborating on Geospatial

We announced today a relationship with the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), the not for profit organization that focuses on the intelligence community (IC). It was relationship that was forged between myself and Keith Masback, the USGIF president, in order to promote a better understanding of what the IC can bring to business and vice versa. Is there any difference between spying on the bad guys and spying on your competitor? Maybe, but the foundation of intelligence gathering using geospatial technology is similar. We also realized that education to a wider community is essential and we hope to develop an educational program through our webinars and conferences that make a difference, especially to younger professionals. And it is certainly our intent to support the technology firms and member corporations that deliver location intelligent solutions. The market is growing but even in these difficult, economic times, we can all benefit from the wider exposure. You will be hearing more about our partnership in the coming weeks and months.
