Dana Richmond, PenBay’s Director of Software Engineering, is enthusiastic about the relationship with Skygone. “Skygone has a deep understanding of GIS that they bring to their offerings. With the IOD framework, the computing environment is optimized for high performance of GIS applications. Skygone has a team that offers customers innovative technology and a value-added consulting service, along with a creative and forward looking pricing strategy.”

By empowering PenBay to make real-time infrastructure decisions, Skygone’s solution will shorten their infrastructure planning cycle, lower their upfront capital expenditures, and increase their ability to scale In-Vision Portal application deployments.
The two companies not only share a passion for GIS, but they also believe in doing business with those involved in creating a positive change in the world. “We are excited to partner with PenBay to help bring IVP to market. PenBay has a rich history of innovation and is widely known as the in-building GIS market leader,” states Ryan Hughes, President of Skygone. “They use GIS to help organizations understand their in-building assets and provide better, safer, and healthier in-building working conditions; and in this day and age, nothing is more important.”
