Mexico’s state oil company selects Cadcorp SIS for its digital mapping/GIS requirements

PEMEX, the national oil and gas agency for Mexico, has selected Cadcorp SIS - Spatial Information System - as its GIS/digital mapping tool. To satisfy the agency’s first order, ten Cadcorp SIS Map Modeller licences have been supplied to SICORI, PEMEX's GIS and cartographic headquarters in Mexico City.

According to the software evaluation team, Cadcorp SIS was selected because of its advanced GIS functionality, its user-friendly interface, integration capabilities and OpenGIS conformance. Underlying Cadcorp SIS, is an 'open' architecture which enables the integration of data from existing spatial formats and databases with ease. At present, 45 data formats can be read by Cadcorp SIS, which will save SICORI time and money, as data conversion is negated.

Cadcorp recently completed the training of SICORI's GIS specialists in Mexico City.
