BOTHELL, Wash., and ROCHESTER, N.Y. — EagleView® Technologies and Pictometry® International jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which EagleView and Pictometry have combined their businesses into a single entity. EagleView and Pictometry closed the transaction on Jan. 7, 2013.

The new entity will offer comprehensive and robust capabilities in aerial imagery collections, geospatial analytics and 3-D measurement technologies. A more diversified revenue base, greater financial resources, advanced product capabilities and significant growth opportunities will reach across current industry segments – including local and regional government, insurance, energy and utilities and construction – as well as additional verticals.

Chris Barrow, EagleView’s chief executive officer, will lead the management team of the combined company as its president and chief executive officer, while Pictometry’s chief executive officer, Rick Hurwitz, will exit the business having worked closely with both companies in support of this transaction. This fulfills his vision to develop Pictometry into an end-to-end solutions provider that derives actionable information from aerial images. The management team of the new company will draw on a talented group of executive leaders from both companies with the six-member board of directors comprised of three EagleView directors and three Pictometry directors. The company will operate with offices in Bothell, Wash. and Rochester, NY while also maintaining satellite offices in other locations.
