OGInfo.com's Team of professional GIS Technicians and Software Engineers have developed products that are leading the industry in power, depth and flexibility.
Our GIS Mapping Software will change the way your company views and uses maps. OGI PowerMap is secure and will empower companies to access and distribute a variety of prospect maps throughout an entire enterprise giving the right people the right information, at the right time. This shared, internal map facilitates enhanced collaboration between the in-house and field landmen giving the largest companies the nimbleness needed to compete effectively in today’s fast-paced market. This application is customized to your area and is available online so managers working in different geographical areas can all look at the same map at the same time.
We know that data security is paramount to your organization's success; therefore, deployment of this map is controlled in-house. OGI has built-in, customizable, multi-tiered user administration and monitoring. Our clients have the ability to turn on, turn off, and/or monitor access from their own desktops. IP log assists in keeping data confidential. Clients can have multiple prospects loaded with settings that allow access to all in-house landmen but limits access to one prospect for a particular brokerage firm or individual landman.
OGI’s free desktop GIS software program provides our users with low cost of ownership and the ability to start mapping immediately using our data. OGI gathers GIS data from multiple sources then reformats, joins and messages the data so our users experience a consistent look and feel. Our GIS mapping software can also be integrated with our lease management software (LAVA) as a tool for easy lease, memo, LPR, draft, rider and exhibit creation along with acreage and draft totals. This module works with the same tiered user administration hierarchy so an administrator or crew-chief can upload company approved leases, memos, LPRs, riders and exhibits. Managers can easily tract prospect progress, gross/net acres acquired, gross/net acres committed or view the results of an ongoing lease check on a minute by minute basis. LAVA provides up to the minute collaboration between field and in-house managers and cuts down on the lifecycle of critical decision making.

Pictometry International Corp., headquartered in Rochester, NY, is a leading provider of geo-referenced aerial, oblique image libraries and related software. With customers throughout the U.S. and licensing partners around the globe, Pictometry uses a proprietary image capture process to produce Pictometry Intelligent Images® so you can See Everywhere, Measure Anything, Plan Everything.®
Pictometry technologies are widely used by county GIS, planning and assessing professionals around the country and a growing number of commercial businesses including those in insurance, utilities, real estate, construction, and more.
Unlike traditional geospatial information systems that rely on only an orthogonal, or top-down view of an area, Pictometry captures images obliquely, or from an angle, and create a more natural three-dimensional view so that users can see land features and structures clearly and in their entirety.
With only minutes of training, a new user can access detailed imagery for every square foot of a region and learn to navigate quickly and easily between views of a map to images associated with it, and specific features contained within images such as doors, manholes, fences, and fire hydrants. Pictometry’s tools can be fully integrated with other systems for added ease of use. The locational data associate with each pixel makes it possible for users to measure numerous geographic details, such as distance, height, latitude/longitude coordinates, directional bearing and relative positioning.
Pictometry’s image capture process captures every square foot of an area in high resolution detail, from both orthogonal and oblique angles, giving Pictometry’s imagery something traditional aerial imagery or even satellite and GPS mapping can’t provide: a detailed metric oblique view of any feature.
Pictometry Intelligent Images® offer sophisticated and often critical visual information in 12 easy to navigate views, putting information at user fingertips and making it possible to work remotely via a wireless connection or from the convenience of an office desktop.
Every day, new applications for Pictometry are realized. Discover how Pictometry can help you work better, faster, smarter and with optimal cost savings.
