Thanks for printing the press release. Any comments on it?
I have received private phone calls and private emails concerning the entire Hexagon purchase on Intergraph. We are in the mandated quite period so management cannot comment down to my level with any significant details. (Basically I know nothing.) But, as for me…. I am excited at the possibilities. Why, am I excited? I’ll share one reason, I know ERDAS users who have used Intergraph products for years and they are excited about the possibilities of Leica Geosystems, ERDAS and Intergraph working together to improve the options for the digital mapping community, and potential new areas where the digital mapping can expand to benefit society.
