Blue Marble Geographics and Avenza Systems, Inc. have merged, with the combined entity operating under the Blue Marble Geographics brand.
The integration brings together complementary technologies spanning desktop geospatial analysis and mobile field operations. Blue Marble’s Global Mapper and Geographic Calculator platforms are now aligned with Avenza Maps, creating a more continuous workflow between office-based processing and in-field data collection.
This unified approach supports a range of geospatial functions, including LiDAR and photogrammetric point cloud processing, precise coordinate transformation, and the distribution and capture of spatial data across field-based operations.
To guide product integration, Blue Marble Geographics has appointed Patrick Stevenson as Chief Product Officer. Stevenson brings nearly two decades of experience in geospatial product development, including roles at Trimble and Intermap, and will focus on aligning coordinate intelligence capabilities with mobile-first field workflows.
Patrick Stevenson, Chief Product Officer of Blue Marble Geographics, commented, “By uniting the capabilities of Blue Marble Geographics and Avenza Systems, we are now able to accelerate how geospatial workflows connect from the office to the field, helping bridge the digital and physical worlds where geospatial data is created, analyzed, and put into action. Our focus is on enabling these workflows to function as a connected system, making it easier for customers to operate more efficiently and effectively across any environment.”
Jeremy Parker, CEO of Blue Marble Geographics, added, “The combination of these two companies represents an important step forward for us and for our customers. We are bringing together technologies that have each delivered strong value independently, and are making investments to unify the products, accelerate innovation, and better support our customers’ operations across complex, real world environments.”
Backed by Eterna Growth Partners, Blue Marble Geographics is continuing to invest in platform integration and product development to support increasingly complex operational requirements.
