Maybe the idea was spawned last year when Extensis and LizardTech collaborated on the development of a new portfolio of asset geo-referencing capabilities that provide ideal applications for the geospatial, infrastructure, AEC and BIM segments.

As a result Extensis® and LizardTech today announced they are uniting as one global company to help organizations increase the ROI and value of their digital assets, fonts, and large imagery. The combined company will operate under the Extensis brand, headquartered in Portland, Oregon with an office presence in Seattle, Washington.

With Extensis’ expertise in digital asset and font management combined with LizardTech’s experience in image management and state-of-the-art image compression technology, the united company is situated to provide a suite of solutions and support for digital asset challenges.

Osamu Ikeda, CEO of Extensis related that organizations today are investing in imagery of all kinds, including photography, aerial, and spatial, to name a few. Fully leveraging these digital files means having an easy and efficient way to organize, store, access, and distribute them.

Ikeda continued that uniting Extensis and LizardTech strengthens their ability to support their customers’ success and give them effective and time-tested solutions for maximizing the value of digital assets of all kinds.

Starting today, LizardTech products (GeoExpress®, Express Server®, GeoViewer) will become part of the Extensis suite of solutions, that spans digital asset management, font asset management, brand asset management, image management, and image compression.
