Leica Geosystems Partners with MicroSurvey Software Inc.

  1. Leica announced they will resell MicroSurvey’s PointCloud CAD product worldwide.
  2. The product was developed using Leica’s pcE SDK.
  3. This plus the INOVx announcement may be the start of a trend.

Leica announced at SPAR 2010 that they would be reselling MicroSurvey’s new PointCloud CAD mapping software on a global basis. MicroSurvey has been around since the early days of PC CAD. Based in British Columbia they have a loyal customer base, primarily in the surveying community. They, along with Carlson software are preferred over Civil 3D by many of the smaller surveying firms.

The new PointCloud CAD software was developed by MicroSurvey using Leica Geosystems’ point cloud engine (pcE) technology to efficiently manage large laser scan data sets from any scanner or aerial Lidar as users process point cloud data into mapping elements in the software’s final deliverables. The product is planned to be available from Leica Geosystems Feb. 15, 2010.

This is in addition to the announcement concerning a partnership with INOVx. Is there a trend developing here?
