Intermap to Buy Remaining PCI Geomatics Shares for $11M

The transaction signals Intermap's intent to deepen its footprint in the fast-growing geospatial intelligence market by folding PCI Geomatics fully into its operations.

PCI Geomatics is a well-established player in geospatial software, offering tools used in satellite and aerial image processing — capabilities that complement Intermap's existing suite of mapping and spatial analytics products. By consolidating full control, Intermap positions itself to integrate product lines more aggressively and potentially unlock operational efficiencies that partial ownership would have limited.
