2017 has been busy for us at GEO Jobe. We’ve seen a number of new staffers join the team, our UAV Services Group has been soaring to new heights, the Dev team has been rolling out updates to Admin Tools, Mapfolio, MapLapse, and supporting efforts with partner companies, and our enterprise Services Group has been killing it with the GEOPowered Cloud solution with technological updates and innovations and supporting the many enterprise orgs/clients that depend on our Cloud solution to keep them up and running.
