Paterson, Grant & Watson Ltd.

Paterson, Grant & Watson Limited (PGW) was established in 1973 to
provide consulting,
data processing and interpretation services in exploration
geophysics for mineral, hydrocarbon
and environmental applications. The company expanded into
software in the 80's, eventually
resulting in the establishment of Geosoft Inc. as a separate
company to develop and market
PC-based geoscience applications, a field in which it maintains a
world-renowned reputation.
PGW retained the rights to continue development of UNIX
applications, which it markets under
the GIPSI trademark. In the 90's the company's work has
encompassed a broader spectrum of
services for the GIS community at large.

Some of PGW's services of interest include:

development and implementation of a screen-based digitizing
system particularly suited to
capturing contour data and their conversion to profile, raster
and vector formats
distribution and support of ER Mapping image processing software
system in Canada and
selected markets elsewhere
re-sale, processing and mapping of Digital Terrain Elevation Data
(DTED), licensed by
Natural Resources Canada
processing and mapping of satellite imagery and other
remotely-sensed datasets for
geoscience applications
databasing and conversion of geoscience maps and reports from
analog to a variety
of digital formats
installation of geoscience workstation hardware and software, and
training
contract R&D in geoscience software applications.
PGW employs nine professionals and a variety of support staff.
The company is
currently active on projects throughout North America, South
America, Africa
and Asia. PGW boasts a wide variety of industry and government
