Based upon technology which was originally started by its predecessor, Avenza Global Technologies Corp., Avenza Systems Inc. successfully develops software products that enable GIS professionals and cartographers worldwide to use the power and functionality of high-end graphics programs to produce maps. Many GIS software products are designed to maintain geographic information, however, a fundamental deficiency is their inability to effectively create great looking maps for publication. Cartographers and GIS users have always sought the ability to produce maps in a graphics program in order to make use of the flexible graphic tools.
The business software industry is at a crossroads. For too long, business software vendors have failed to meet the needs of mid-size companies that are increasingly frustrated with the high cost and complexity of traditional enterprise applications that were designed for multi-billion dollar corporations.
