30 Years of Success Leads DAT/EM to Virtual Reality and UAS
Anchorage, Alaska, USA. May 10, 2017- In 1987, a group of photogrammetric professionals envisioned a product that would bridge the gap between a stereoplotter and the budding world of digital mapping. The group formed the company DAT/EM® Systems International and started selling a product, DAT/EM Capture for AutoCAD, which quickly took over the market. It was adopted by photogrammetric mapping companies all over the world.

As one of the original mapping compilers and then leading the company since 1995, Jeffrey Yates, DAT/EM General Manager, continues the work he and the founders started 30 years ago and has built a thriving company providing 3D stereo mapping solutions. Over the years, he has learned a lot about the industry and how to provide customers with stellar service.
“Our first thirty years, we found success by providing our clients with a state-of-the-art product and excellent customer service. In the next thirty, we plan to expand our business targeting new industries and building our portfolio to include complementary products while still offering the best customer service in the industry.”
