April 08, 2014 -- James W. Sewall Company of Old Town, Maine, and Cartographic Associates, Inc. (dba CAI Technologies) of Littleton, New Hampshire, have announced a new cooperative agreement whereby clients will benefit from the expertise of two GIS companies instead of one.

According to the agreement, Sewall and CAI will market their combined services, knowledge and capacity to clients, providing them access to a full continuum of capabilities, including local, regional, and state mapping; GIS implementation, hosting and custom application development; civil and environmental engineering solutions; and forestry and natural resource consulting.

David Edson, President/CEO of Sewall, says, “Our two firms are very excited about our new relationship. Clients will benefit from the professional expertise of two companies instead of one while continuing to receive the high level of service they’ve come to expect. This type of partnership will become ever more important to our clients as the range of and need for geospatial services rapidly increase in the digital age.”

I believe our common corporate philosophies and recognition of each other’s strengths will enable us to share resources effectively and expand available services to our clients, allowing us to better serve them.”
