geoAMPS played, and continues to play, a significant role in that development. Our customers include some of the largest oil and gas producers in the world. Their projects require many miles of pipeline. In order for those long, linear projects to be completed, property right of way must be acquired, tracked and managed. geoAMPS is the go-to software to manage land rights and infrastructure assets. Efficiencies made possible through using our software have made geoAMPS the market leader in software solutions for the midstream industry. Those efficiencies are especially important today as the oil and gas industry experiences pricing challenges in the current market cycle. In order to continue a robust exploration and production schedule, oil and gas organizations are pursuing ways to complete those projects as efficiently as possible. The current trend in the market, and what geoAMPS offers, make working in the oil and gas industry both challenging and rewarding. There are many strong aspects to our business. For example, we know the industries we serve. Besides the oil and gas industry, geoAMPS currently serves organizations in the land services (right of way), utilities, mass transportation, renewable energy and survey industries. Through engagement with our clients and industry leaders, we maintain a rigorous research and development process that leads to product enhancements in two-week iterations. The geoAMPS method is based on innovation, quality and speed. We work hand-in-hand with industry experts to offer comprehensive and innovative products for the industries we serve. We produce unique solutions for common challenges in each industry. We are also able to configure our products to meet the unique needs of each client. geoAMPS provides comprehensive training with each implementation of our software solution. Because geoAMPS software is configured to the client’s specific needs, training time is minimal. Training typically takes two to five days and is scheduled onsite, at the geoAMPS home office or even remotely, as determined by the client. We provide training videos, webinars and extensive user guides that are easy to understand. geoAMPS goes the extra mile to ensure our clients are comfortable with our product and that the product is performing to their satisfaction. We provide Product Support services 24/7 for the length of the contract. Our Product Support is second to none. geoAMPS’ customers experience a 99.9% uptime rate with minimal to no interruption in service. But in the unlikely event that a problem does occur, our Product Support team is there 24/7 to help. We are available around-the-clock, because we realize that speed is essential for our clients as they compete in the marketplace. Regarding our competitors, geoAMPS offers the only software on the market that allows clients to manage all land management needs within the same software. Historically, organizations have had to sometimes use 18 different software programs to manage all the information that can be centralized in a single install of geoAMPS. This is a service unmatched among U.S. companies and even among Canadian software providers. In addition, geoAMPS configures its software to meet the needs of each client, another service that sets the company apart from the competition. Each client provides different services and thus requires different capabilities from their software system. Rather than offer software and leave it to the client to adapt their operations to the software, we offer a software system that can be configured to the client’s business processes. This is a capability that geoAMPS’ competitors, some of whom have been in the business many more years, do not provide. This approach reduces the need for extensive training and frustration among users of the software. geoAMPS software was built to include configurability that would reduce turnaround time for adjusting the software to new or revised business processes. All of these lead to better return on investment for clients and make geoAMPS their logical choice. In several head-to-head evaluations, geoAMPS was favoured 9-to-1 to our closest competitor. geoAMPS introduced mobile technology to the land rights industry. We wanted to bring mobile capability to replace predominantly paper-based processes in that industry. Now, mobile capabilities are the market standard. By introducing this capability, it positioned geoAMPS well ahead of the competition. geoAMPS’ mobile capability accelerated growth of our client base. Because geoAMPS software is Web-based, landmen can access and update project information on mobile devices. This capability enhances project efficiency, as geoAMPS software enables average savings of 35 percent on project costs. Projects in the oil and gas industry and other industries geoAMPS serves are oftentimes in remote areas, many miles from the company office. Agents working in the field need the ability to access the centralized Web database to receive and upload information. They need to be able to receive notifications of inspections and other workflow. Mobile technology allows agents to complete work in the field, saving travel time and work duplication. geoAMPS also offers
