AAT selects MapIT

Johannesburg, 07 Apr 2009

MapIT has partnered with AAT, a developer in smart mobile and Web solutions, as a preferred supplier of mapping solutions.

MapIT is also partnered by Tele Atlas - a global provider of digital maps. The company's offering is stronger with this partnership, and ensures clients receive map data of international standards, says MapIT. As such, AAT chose MapIT as preferred supplier of mapping data, and will employ MapIT's mapping in all of its mapping solutions, including www.streetmaps.co.za.

“AAT is particularly excited about the opportunities that will present themselves out of the relationship between MapIT and AAT. The convergence of the best mapping data for Africa and sound mapping technology make for a formidable offering,” says Loet de Swart, CEO of AAT.

“There are about four million South Africans with access to the Internet, and a staggering 20 million with access to a cellphone. It is clear that cellphone technology is the way forward to real-time information and communication. The partnership with AAT, which provides smart mobile and Web solutions to leading corporates, communities and individuals, will see a host of location-based services that will be offered on the Web and mobile platforms,” says MD of MapIT, Ray Wilkinson.

“The new relationship with AAT will also ensure MapIT remains at the forefront of digital mapping and is the driving force of the next generation of location-enabled technology,” adds Wilkinson. “In addition, clients can look forward to the emergence of new developments and services from this partnership in the near future.”
