"Just to let you know how delighted and pleased I am with your DATEM system. The user-interface is well thought through and well implemented especially in comparison to the other  vendor products I have used or trained on, such as Intergraph/ZI, Leica/LPS and BAE/Socet Set. BAE boasts that they have significantly improved their interfaces in their GXP products but I would choose DATEM over them every time. If DATEM continues with the same vigilance/brilliance on the Orthophoto product and hopefully A.T. and other modules. I for sure will be willing to adopt DATEM-only products.

For example, it was easy setting up the DATEM system on our first project flown with an UltraCam camera and with a few calls to Kathy a project was set up with AGPS/IMU input in no time and we are easily doing the QA/QC on the project using your excellent tools. It took more twist and turns with the Socet Set and even when I used Intergraph/ZI (for 10 years) at my last position with Baker as Mapping/AT Manager.

I can appreciate your efforts because I worked as a Sr. System Engineer and Programmer for Intergraph on the IMA development over 25 years ago and experienced the level of effort, persistence and coordination required to develop a production-friendly product like yours.

Keep up the great work and pass along my sentiments to your development folks."
