Where Innovation Matters
There is one word that best describes the solutions provided by Image Matters… innovation.
We emphasize innovation and excellence in all of our approaches and offerings.
We are best known for our innovations, with an outstanding staff to thank. Image
Matters has assembled an impressive team of experts in Web and geospatial technology
and applications. Our engineers and scientists are well-qualified to tackle
some of the most daunting problems facing users of information technology, such
as information overload, fusion, and understanding in a world of vast volumes
of inconsistent, disparate, distributed information resources.
Progressive Solutions
Image Matters provides solutions for defense, intelligence, homeland security,
environmental, and natural resources markets. In addition to these vertical
markets, Image Matters offers Web software infrastructure
products and related services that address information
overload, fusion, and understanding problems in other markets. Our key offering
categories are:
- Advanced Geospatial Solutions — Image Matters staff have compiled an impressive list of geospatial technology innovations. These innovations provide the discriminating foundations for many of our solutions. Underlying our substantial experience in building and deploying operational advanced geospatial solutions is our solid base of systems and software engineering and applications experience. As co-authors of the geospatial profile of the Federal Enterprise Architecture, and with our extensive interoperability engineering experience with Open Geospatial Consortium, we have a firm grasp of the role of geospatial within and between enterprises.
- Agile Enterprise Engineering™ —Agile Enterprise Engeneering (Agile EE) is a process developed by Image Matters to isolate, assess, architect, and engineer optimum information technology solutions that yeild the highest return on investment for an enterprise. Agile EE effectivly pinpoints the prioritizes the best investment opportunities for business process improvements or new/enhanced offerings (gain-points and pain-points). Image Matters applies an interdisciplinary approach to realize successful systems. We differentiate ourselves by placing special emphasis on "interoperability engineering," the rapidly evolving, pervasive influence of the Web, and the geospatial aspect of systems.
- Standards and Interoperability — Image Matters engineers coined the term "Interoperability Engineering". Our standards-based semantic and geospatial technologies play a foundational role in achieving interoperable systems, where semantics represents the "last rung of the interoperability ladder". Several of our key personnel are internationally known in the standards community and are co-authors of key standards for the Geospatial Web, Sensor Web, and wireless Location-Based Services.
- Environmental and Natural Resource Management Services — Image Matters brings to bear a highly qualified staff, a wealth of experience, and innovative technologies for environmental problems, and for the effective management of natural resources. Our staff has developed solutions ranging from the Wetlands Analytical Mapping System, the first operational GIS built for the federal government in 1976, to the cutting-edge Integrated Mapping and Analysis Tool which leverages distributed geo-environmental resources in a dynamic Web-based GIS. Our projects have ranged from analyzing impacts of alternative forest plans on Threatened and Endangered Species for NMFA and NEPA compliance, to building an enterprise GIS for a local lake conservancy district to enable objective analysis for dredging options.
