Corporate Profile

PCI is a pioneer in the development of innovative geographic management software with capabilities in remote sensing, GIS, terrain analysis, data visualization and image analysis. Headquartered near Toronto, Canada, we have been providing solutions to resource analysts and managers around the world since 1982.

From the outset, we decided to promote software that was flexible, easy to use, and that would operate on the widest range of computers. PCI continues to succeed in meeting this criteria with its software products, which include EASI/PACE, FLY!, RADARSOFT, RE*GENESIS, GCPWORKS, IMAGEWORKS, THE TRUTH and others. Clients enjoy using geographic management and analysis software that is easily adaptable to their particular processing needs. PCI's software is ported to the most recent hardware platforms, keeping our customers on the forefront of technology and offering them an exceptional growth path.

Our position of market leadership is a result of our commitment to clients through product and service expertise. We encourage our clients to suggest ways in which PCI's software products can be made even better and respond with software enhancements on an ongoing basis. Investing in research and development to help clients improve their productivity is our priority.

To better serve our international clients, PCI fosters positive and long-term partnerships with firms that represent us around the world. Their success is largely due to our pledge to search out the most competent and service-oriented firms. We then furnish their people with the required information and training so they are equipped to effectively meet clients' needs. Additionally, PCI has worked through cooperative ventures and with international development organizations such as CIDA, FAO, UNDP, and USAID. Today, the benefits of PCI's software products are enjoyed in more than 70 countries worldwide.

Throughout our history, PCI has nurtured a winning combination of quality software, open systems, and good people. We are committed to furnishing our clients with innovative resource management solutions long into the future.
