Trimble forms new Mapping & GIS Industry Solutions Group

Trimble announced it has formed a new industry solutions group within its Mapping & GIS Division. The new group, known as the Market Solutions Team, will work with strategic customers in key industries such as utilities, natural resources, transportation and municipal government to develop advanced data use solutions for field workers involved in the collection, management and utilization of geospatial information.

The Market Solutions Team will work closely with customers in selected industries to deliver easy-to-use and customized GPS and GIS solutions. By leveraging Trimble’s broad range of existing hardware and software products, as well as solutions from the division’s strong business partner community, the team can prototype solutions using technology that is best suited to meet the customers’ needs. The ultimate goal is to deliver innovative solutions that improve the efficiency of the field workforce and foster the development of new products that can be distributed through Trimble’s global network of authorized Mapping & GIS resellers.

The Market Solutions Team will focus initially on projects in North America where Trimble has identified a number of opportunities to collaborate with organizations that have large numbers of field workers managing geospatial information. The team will also work in conjunction with the UK-based Trimble Professional Services (TPS) group already focused on the European market.
