Press ReleaseGeosoft launches new Enterprise Solutions GroupCompany establishes a new team to focus on the delivery of end-to-end Exploration Data Management solutions for global mining companies with large data assetsMarch 5, 2006 – Toronto, Ontario – Geosoft, a leading provider of software solutions for the geosciences industry, today announced the creation of a new Enterprise Solutions group focused on the design and delivery of Exploration Data Management (EDM) solutions that meet the requirement of global mining companies with large data assets. A typical exploration enterprise has hundreds of data and information repositories, each containing valuable data and applications. Because this information is, at best, only partially interconnected, companies waste valuable time, money and effort in finding, connecting, using and sharing their own data. They risk missing important business opportunities while they seek data, and also risk basing important decisions on incomplete information, and/or duplicating or losing past work. Geosoft’s Enterprise Solutions Group draws upon Geosoft’s 20 years of data lifecycle expertise and experience in handling and managing large volume exploration data to bring together the right technology, services and people to address these concerns. The EDM solutions they deliver provide companies with a core business advantage by enabling efficient access and management of their entire data lifecycle, allowing companies to quickly secure, catalogue, access and use their vast quantities of data, regardless of their format, size or location. “Geosoft’s EDM solution works intuitively and seamlessly, and is a cost-effective means of connecting the people in an organization with all of their data and applications,” said Troy Wilson, Geosoft’s Director of Enterprise Business and Vice-President of Marketing. “Our approach has always been one of ongoing partnership, so we work closely with our customers at all stages of their EDM initiative to ensure that their solution simplifies how they can access their data and supports global, best-practice deployment.” Geosoft EDM solutions use Geosoft middleware technology to connect all of a company’s data repositories to common, corporate interfaces by acting as an integration layer between data stored on a company’s server and end user applications. The middleware removes barriers created by competing and incompatible standards, promotes standardization and interoperability, and simplifies how companies find, use and manage their exploration data. It also provides a platform to build business rules or processes that can support corporate standards for data types and metadata Geosoft’s EDM solutions have been implemented in global, multi-site enterprise deployments for industry leaders that include CVRD, Rio Tinto, Teck Cominco, Dundee Precious Metals and many others. Geosoft’s Enterprise Solutions Group and its partners are dedicated to ensuring that these customers, and companies like them, maximize the value of their enterprise data assets, and existing IT investment, by providing a one-stop resource for technology, professional services and training; and the ability to create a customized EDM solution based on the organization’s technical and business objectives.
