PRESS RELEASE
AMICALOLA ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION CHOOSES MAP2PDFTM FOR MAPPING
DISTRIBUTION
(MARIETTA, Georgia,
February 6, 2003) Layton Graphics, Inc. (“Layton”)
announced today that Amicalola Electric Membership Corporation (“Amicalola
EMC”) has chosen Layton's MAP2PDFTM software for publishing and
distributing its outside plant drawings and maps. The Adobe® PDF
data sets produced by MAP2PDF will allow Amicalola EMC employees access
to the corporation’s 1,400 square miles of service area, including
links to a database of all equipment and customer information needed
for maintenance of the network. Amicalola EMC is the second EMC in Georgia
to select MAP2PDF for its mapping distribution system, joining North
Georgia EMC, who completed their installation in April, 2003.
"We chose MAP2PDF
because it is a very cost effective method of getting all our mapping
data to our users, especially since the only software they need is the
free Adobe® Acrobat Reader®," said Robert Payne, president
and CEO of Amicalola EMC.
Layton’s Mapping
and GIS Services group developed and supports MAP2PDF which allows the
publication of engineering maps, drawings and data to geo-referenced
PDF files for viewing and use by anyone with Adobe Acrobat Reader. MAP2PDF
enables PDF files to display latitude and longitude, measure distances,
query external databases and search for data by street addresses, intersections,
equipment data and full text content.
According to Layton
vice president, Phil Lee, “We are pleased to be able to bring
value to Amicalola EMC through MAP2PDF’s functionality, simplicity
and tremendous savings in man hours and materials.”
