GeoDecisions, a division of Gannett Fleming that specializes in information technology and geographic information systems (GIS), was recently presented with the New Technology Product of the Year award at the 11th annual Technology Awards Gala. The event, sponsored by the Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania, was held at the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts.

GeoDecisions received the award for its Intelligent Road/Rail Information Server (IRRIS) application.

IRRIS was developed to support the Military Traffic Management Command Transportation Engineering Agency’s mission to aid in the global deployment of U.S. armed forces. The GIS product has the ability to document the movement of cargo by land, air, and sea on a global basis.

IRRIS is the first Web-based portal in the world designed to combine highly-detailed, local, and relevant information into one intuitive Web-based interface for military and U.S. infrastructure information. This technology can also be used by both public and private organizations and as a tool to protect the nation’s infrastructure. Learn more about IRRIS...
