“Our staff in Europe and the CIS are excited to use the new corporate facilities to meet with colleagues in a convenient, central place,” said Thomas Bayer, Vice President, ECIS Region, ERDAS. “Intense sales and services activities involve traveling a lot to meet customers and partners. To cultivate team spirit and collaboration with mobile colleagues, we value the quality of an open and friendly work environment. This is a key element of ERDAS’ success as a new, unified company.”
