The agreement will enable all imagery users and customers of
Exelis and DigitalGlobe to easily combine powerful ENVI geospatial

challenging environmental, natural resource, and global security
problems.
“This agreement between Exelis and DigitalGlobe creates a single
platform that customers can effectively use to solve challenging
problems and define new market opportunities,” said Chris Young,
president of Exelis Geospatial Systems. “This platform removes the
logistical challenges that have inhibited this sort of innovation
such as processing power, data storage and hardware cost.”
Designed and built by Exelis, ENVI image analysis software has
been used for more than 25 years to extract meaningful information
from geospatial data. ENVI software helps users make better
decisions regarding mineral exploration, precision agriculture,
environmental degradation, national defense and more.
DigitalGlobe’s cloud-based GBD offering is a PaaS (Platform as a
Service) model designed to create a new ecosystem in which partners
and developers can leverage their expertise and an application
programming interface, or API, to create new customer solutions at
a global scale.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to expose our 15-year
catalog of high-resolution satellite imagery to ENVI’s
technologically sophisticated user base,” said Hyune Hand,
DigitalGlobe’s senior vice president of Product Marketing and
Management. “By coupling our imagery with these advanced analytic
tools, users will be able to extract incredibly valuable
information and insight about our changing planet -- at scale.”
