Eos
Systems Adds European Reseller
Photarc UK to distribute
PhotoModeler software
Vancouver, BC - December 13, 2005 - Eos Systems, maker of the award-winning
PhotoModeler software, today announced Photarc Surveys Ltd, a UK-based
architectural measurement firm, has become an official reseller
of PhotoModeler to the United Kingdom and Ireland.
PhotoModeler, a software application which enables accurate measurement
through photographs - with the ability to generate a scaled, photorealistic
3D computer model of any real-world object, regardless of size -
has been adopted across a wide variety of diverse industries and
applications, including accident reconstruction, industrial surveying
and reverse engineering, as well as modeling and pre-visualization
in film production. Photarc, an expert in close-range photogrammetry,
has intimate experience in some of the most advanced and unusual
applications of PhotoModeler to date.
Founded in 1974, Photarc's most notable work has been in the area
of architectural measurement, specializing in historic monuments
facing renovation and repair. PhotoModeler is one of the company's
key tools. "Since that time we have developed a number of very
strong relationships which have seen us work in Australia, Hong
Kong, Honduras, Russia and mainland Europe," explains senior
engineer of Photarc, Rory Stanbridge. "Many of these surveys
have been of historic monuments. We have also acted as consultants
to the Getty Institute in the United States. We have gone so far
as to undertake a number of very specialist applications including
helicopter surveying, tunnel work, and even built underwater cameras,
to complete our work."
"We like to think that we are very versatile. A bit like PhotoModeler,
really," quips Stanbridge. "So this reseller agreement
is a match made in heaven."
Although Photarc sells consultancy services based on the technology's
results, Stanbridge believes that selling the software product will
complement Photarc's capabilities, creating increased market penetration
into advanced measurement projects. Some of these projects will
no doubt benefit from Photarc expertise and experience as photogrammetric
consultants.
"Although some people find it odd that we sell a product that
could be perceived to take work away from our service business,
I believe that the more people that understand what photogrammetry
can do for them, the more consulting opportunities we will see from
customers that have exceptional requirements such as tight timeframes
for implementation, or a lack of available personnel," Stanbridge
explains.
Distributing PhotoModeler has brought Photarc in contact with a
diverse group of customers outside the realm of architecture, according
to Stanbridge: "Since taking on the dealership a few months
ago, we have sold the software to traffic investigators, architects,
a wheelchair manufacturer, a number of survey companies, film companies,
model makers and others. The latest enquiry has been from a man
who wants to model hockey sticks. And I don't mean wear them --
just measure them."
Alan Walford, CEO of Eos Systems, attributes the company's worldwide
success thus far to the constant improvement of the product and
to listening to its customers and resellers. "Ongoing development
is one of our daily core activities," says Walford. "Our
focus has been on providing a sophisticated product to both technical
and non-technical audiences with excellent support. Photarc's vast
knowledge about this technology makes the company the perfect choice
to help continue this commitment abroad."
