Director's Cut

What better way to start off 2006 than by looking back and recapping last year’s accomplishments and achievements. This is a great way to set the bar for our expectations for the coming year. Although Mississippi’s geospatial cluster was hit hard by the unexpected devastation of Hurricane Katrina, 2005 will remain a year marked by numerous accolades and achievements.

From seven charter companies to the current thirty-six, the cluster has shown consistent growth from year to year, contributing to the Mississippi economy through higher paying, high technology jobs. With a total payroll for the cluster of nearly $30 million and an average annual salary of $52,500, this industry continues to be a solid investment for the state. In 2005, EIGS member companies invested more than $39 million in Mississippi business operations, a growth of over $10 million from the previous year.

The year was also marked by accomplishments on the individual company level, all of which contribute to the continuing leadership role of Mississippi’s geospatial industry.

• Forest One, Inc. was selected as Small Industry Award winner for the state of Mississippi.

• Air-O-Space’s application of a crime-fighting UAV was named first runner-up for the Excellence in Criminal Investigations Award at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference. They were also selected as a finalist for Small Innovation of the Year for Mississippi.

• NVision Solutions, Inc., was selected as the statewide winner in the Small Innovation of the Year category for Mississippi. This follows on the heels of their recognition in 2004 as the Innovator of the Year for Louisiana. Additionally, NVision won a number of accolades from industry leader ESRI, including ESRI New Partner of the Year and a Special Achievement in GIS award for their innovative REACT product.

• Radiance Technologies won a NASA award to help with future space exploration using their innovative application of geospatial technologies for the human return to the Moon and Mars.

• Applied Geo Technologies’ President, Allen Hines, was named by the U.S. Small Business Administration as the "Minority Small Business Person of the Year for Mississippi" and the "Minority Small Business Person of the Year for Region IV."

• Digital Quest, Inc. gained critical industry support for their STARS Geospatial Certification.

• Diamond Data Systems won a Phase II SBIR award from NASA for development of a new and innovative method to leverage LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) terrain & elevation mapping data.

EIGS is looking forward to 2006 and to continuing our efforts on behalf of the cluster to permeate the countless markets that can benefit from geospatial technology. We intend to rise to the challenge of making sure that the cluster’s successes for 2006 exceed those of last year. I invite you to help us meet this challenge by promoting the use of geospatial technology and by utilizing the commercial capabilities that we have here in the state.

Established in 1992, Diamond Data Systems (DDS) delivers tailored IT solutions to a number of industries including government, military, oil & gas, banking and healthcare. A member of Mississippi’s geospatial industry cluster since 2002, the practice at DDS includes:

• Engineering of geospatial data integration

• Custom software development including web-based geospatial applications

• IT contracting and outsourcing

• Design and implementation of local and wide area networks

• Creation of enterprise storage and security systems

• Provision of a full range of off-the-shelf software and hardware tools

In the Fall of 2005, DDS was awarded a NASA Phase II SBIR contract for development of a new and innovative method to leverage LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) terrain & elevation mapping data. The uses for this LIDAR data include disaster prevention through flood hazard mapping and planning, emergency management, weather studies and high-resolution mapping and analysis. The work on this project is very timely in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. This solution can help provide valuable information on flood prevention and disaster management so that catastrophes like this can be avoided in the future and help rebuild the Gulf Coast now.

Some of the key applications of this technology being addressed by the SBIR contract include providing valuable insight into flood prone areas and how to mitigate flood damage. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has initiated a modernization of floodplain maps throughout the United States using LIDAR data in its Map Modernization Initiative. Additionally, LIDAR data is utilized to assess damage and support infrastructure rebuilding after a disaster.

By standing by their commitment to enhance productivity, reduce risk, and measurably contribute to the bottom line, DDS has maintained a diverse list of clients including the Department of Defense, the Department of Navy, the American Legion, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Seismic Exchange, International Maytex Tank Terminals, and Oschner Medical Institutions.

DDS is headquartered in New Orleans, LA, with offices at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. For additional information about DDS, contact Keith Alphonso, 228-688-3145 kalphonso@diamonddata.com or visit www.diamonddata.com.

Special Note: Like so many businesses in Mississippi and Louisiana, Diamond Data Systems has been presented with unique challenges in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Immediately after the storm, DDS released a press release stating, “While other businesses are considering closing down, relocating their business to a new city, or are still struggling to resurrect their systems, DDS remains firmly committed to its employees and the region. We want to make sure that our employees and our clients know that we are financially strong, we are open for business and we will do our part to make sure the Gulf Region doesn’t lose its economy or talented citizens.” Read more about their commitment to the region.

DID YOU KNOW?

By KATHERINE SHRADER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Dec 7, 2005

The United States has 413 satellites in space snooping for the government, checking on the weather and relaying the latest pop music, a new database says. That's more than the 382 the rest of the world has spinning above the Earth.

The inventory, developed by the Union of Concerned Scientists, provides details on some of the Pentagon's most secret satellites, which may gather images in the dark or take high-resolution pictures from 12,000 miles away. "Until now, the general public didn't have easy access to information about all active satellites," said Dr. Laura Grego, a Cambridge astrophysicist who was on a team that spent several years compiling information on the nearly 800 active satellites. "No one owns space, so everyone has a right to know what's up there."

The material was gleaned from corporations, academics, governments and satellite watchers who as a hobby spend their nights watching the skies for flickers of light. The group's inventory lists 21 different details on satellites with missions ranging from weather forecasting to transmitting music and news for companies like Sirius Satellite Radio. Perhaps most controversially, the repository includes what's known about top-secret spy satellites run by the U.S. and other governments.

With 413, the United States far exceeds other nations in numbers of satellites, often used for communications. The Russians, who follow the U.S. in total number, have 87. The Chinese have 34. The numbers are approximations that may vary depending on how joint ventures are counted.

Although the hurricanes followed the company from Stennis Space Center and New Orleans over to Lake Charles, LA, 3001 was on mission and in-flight just days after Katrina and Rita to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). High resolution digital aerial photography was successfully captured, processed, and delivered within 24-hours of capture for each of the 12,000 square-mile disaster areas. Each area was completed within two weeks, marking it as one of the fastest missions ever, given challenging flight conditions and poor weather.

At the same time, September through November, 3001 remote sensing and mapping staff were onsite at the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, creating life-saving elevation road maps for rescue and response vehicles. 3001 staff rapidly developed maps from existing elevation model data, including from 3001’s previous 2004 LiDAR flight, combined with flood level data, so that response vehicles could determine which roads were navigable and which areas required air-based rescue. Nearly one thousand maps were developed and distributed to over a dozen different agencies tasked with performing rescue operations.

All of this work was occurring while over half of 3001’s employee base was affected by the hurricanes. Daily management conference calls and the will to overcome allowed for nimble reconstitution of office operations within two weeks of the disasters for the four impacted 3001 facilities. With Civil Works and Intel-Defense Solutions finally back at full capacity in Slidell, New Orleans, Mobile, and Stennis Space Center and a new office in Huntsville, AL, the 3001 strategic plan for managed growth is back on track with the purchase of the second Digital Mapping Camera, an Intergraph Z/I Imaging Digital Mapping Camera (DMC). Purchased to satisfy the ever-growing demand, the DMC has been a hit with engineering clients and clients looking for an all-digital process replacement for film cameras. 3001 was the first in the world to purchase the DMC and is now the first in the United States to purchase a second one.

“We have developed one of the most mature DMC workflows in the industry as a result of our early adoption, relentless testing and topnotch support from Intergraph”, says Jeff Lower, Vice President of the Civil Works division for 3001. The DMC has quickly developed a loyal following in response to its ability to assure high quality imagery even without airborne Global Positioning System (GPS) as well as in turbulent and poor light conditions.

3001 plans to further improve customer satisfaction by regionalizing the use of the DMC. This would reduce mobilization/demobilization costs and improve sensor utilization. Two DMC cameras will allow 3001 to collect double the number of exposures in the same flight window even in geographically disparate areas – increasing cost efficiencies for large flight areas. The DMC was most recently used – with great success – in the imaging of the entire state of New Mexico.

3001 LandAir now boasts a 2-2-2 sensor package – two ADS40s, two DMCs, and two ALS50s for LiDAR acquisition, which is the largest single source of acquisition capacity in the United States, with processing muscle and know-how to boot. 3001 Inc. is a member of Mississippi’s Geospatial Industry cluster.

Global Perspectives

GIS Mapping to Assist with Crime Fighting

Jamaica Information Service -- Over the next few months the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) expects to utilize Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping in the fight against crime. This according to Deputy Commissioner of Police in Charge of Crime, Mark Shields, who said the JCF would soon be in a position to discern via mapping where "every single murder occurs, where every shooting occurs, where break-ins occur, and where every motor vehicle is stolen from."

He was speaking at the GIS Day 2005 Exposition at Assembly Hall, University of the West Indies, Mona recently under the theme, 'GIS: Securing Our Communities.' "There will be a whole range of data available. By looking at the GIS system we will be able to see exactly where crimes are being committed," he explained. This initiative, he said, would not be without challenges, as some areas of Jamaica, particularly the inner city communities, would sometimes prove difficult to pinpoint because of the lack of proper addresses.

GIS is Growing in India

EFY Times -- The two-day annual user conference of ESRI India was kicked off by N Vijayaditya, director general, National Informatics Centre. The 8th Annual ESRI user conference deliberated on different ways and means of increasing the usage of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in India.

Sharing several examples of the growing use of GIS in the government, Vijayaditya said, "The government is increasingly leveraging GIS technology to pursue its objectives of eGovernance by making essential information available to citizens."

"The government is also looking at adopting GIS to enable micro level planning to ensure speedy economic development," he added.

Using GIS to Produce Cancer Incidence Maps

In this study, a database was built with GIS to examine the distribution of cancer cases, and maps relating to cancer events in allocation units were created. The Trabzon province of Turkey has been used as a case study. Cancer cases data registered in 2004 by the Cancer Struggle Department of Health Directorate of Trabzon of Turkey were used. Using GIS the distribution of cancer cases was presented on cancer maps including allocation units and incidence values, which were calculated for each town-based region.

Developing Health GIS For Khorasan Province In Iran

GIS has been used for many years In Iran, in agricultural, economic, natural resources, urban planning and other sectors. Using GIS in these sectors also face different barriers, mainly because lack of accurate and sufficient data. However, using GIS for health management and research is still in the beginning stages. Health service in Iran is widely spread and a complicated activity. Therefore allocation of spatially scattered health facilities to urban and rural area is a very difficult task. Read More...

Momentum Mississippi Guidelines Released

The State of Mississippi recently adopted a new plan for recruiting higher-paying, higher-skilled jobs in the fastest-growing sectors of the economy, in a bill known as Momentum Mississippi. The Momentum Mississippi package reforms tax incentives, and funds state loan and grant programs. The legislation is designed to meet the needs of different businesses and industries in different regions of the state and help attract greater levels of investment and higher pay for Mississippi workers. Governor Haley Barbour hailed the legislation. “This initiative will help us make significant strides in successfully competing for higher-paying jobs in the fastest-growing sectors of the economy, particularly the high-tech field, and will also be a tremendous aid in encouraging existing businesses to stay in Mississippi and grow,” said Barbour.

The Momentum Mississippi Incentive legislation has two components- first, enhancing existing tax credits and incentives to include high-tech non-manufacturing industries and provide investment incentives to existing Mississippi businesses and second to fund incentive programs through issuance of bonds. The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) has been preparing guidelines based on this legislation.

Loan/Grant Programs

• Mississippi Existing Industry Productivity Loan Program is a new program available to manufacturers that have been operating in the state for at least two years that meet minimum criteria established by MDA.

• Research and Development and Technology-Based Business and Industry Loan is a new program that will have minimum criteria established by MDA.

• Mississippi Job Protection Act is a new program that will provide for loans or grants for any at risk industry that has been operating in the state for at least three years that has lost jobs or is at risk to lose jobs because such jobs have been outsourced. The eligible enterprise must use the loan or grant for job retention or to improve productivity and competitiveness. An at-risk industry that accepts a loan or grant cannot reduce employment by more than 20%.

• ACE Program is an existing grant program available to new and expanding business and industry. This grant is to be used for non-traditional economic development costs and used by MDA to “close a deal.” The new legislation requires MDA to create minimum job and investment criteria for businesses to qualify.

• Development Infrastructure Program is an existing grant program available to local governments to provide for public infrastructure assistance.

Tax Credits/Exemptions

• Alternative Energy Project is a new income tax credit equal to $1,000 annually for each new full-time job for a period of twenty years from the date the credit begins. The credit shall begin on the date selected by the producer; however, the beginning date shall not be more than five years from the date the producer begins manufacturing or producing alternative energy. Once a producer creates 25 new full-time jobs, the producer shall be eligible for the credit. Any unused credits can be carried forward for five years. These credits shall be in lieu of the jobs tax, research and development, and headquarters credits.

• Existing Manufacturer Credit is a new income tax credit available to a manufacturer that has operated in the state for at least two years and invests at least $1,000,000 in buildings and/or equipment.

• Reduced Sales Tax Rate for Technology Intensive Enterprises is a new incentive that provides a reduced rate of 1.5% for sales of machinery and parts for plant use only when the machinery and machine parts will be used exclusively and directly within the state for industrial purposes, including, but not limited to, manufacturing or research and development activities. It also provides for a rate of 1.5% on electricity, current, power, steam, coal, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas or other fuel sold to or used by a technology intensive enterprise.

• Sales Tax Exemption- sales of component materials used in the construction of a facility and the sales of machinery and equipment not later than 3 months after the completion of construction of the facility may receive a full exemption against sales tax in a Tier Three county and a one half exemption in a Tier One or Two county.

• Sales Tax Exemption- sales of component materials used in the construction of a facility and the sales or leases of machinery and equipment not later than 3 months after the completion of construction of the facility may receive a full exemption against sales tax in a Tier Three county and a one half exemption in a Tier One or Two county.

• Property Tax Exemption is an existing exemption that allows local governing authorities to exempt all taxes except school taxes for ten year for eligible entities. This exemption applies to land, building, equipment, and certain inventory.

• Jobs Tax Credit is an existing income tax credit. This credit has been changed from a dollar per job credit to a percentage of payroll credit. The credit in a Tier Three county is now 10% of the payroll of the eligible enterprise per year for five years; the credit in a Tier Two county is 5%; and the credit in a Tier One county is 2.5%.

• Rural Economic Development (RED) Credit is an existing income tax credit. RED allows eligible businesses to use the debt service from industrial revenue bonds issued by the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (MBFC) as a credit for each year for the life of the bonds. The credit cannot exceed 80% of the income tax liability in any given year, but any unused credit can be carried forward for three years.

Other Incentives

Advantage Jobs is an existing cash rebate program available to eligible entities for a period of up to ten years. The following entities are now eligible:

• Data information processing enterprises that provide an average wage of 100% of the county or state wage whichever is less. (additional requirements exist)

• Manufacturers and distributors paying an annual average wage of 110% of the county or state wage whichever is less. (additional requirements exist)

• Businesses (excluding retail and gaming) that pay 125% of the state or county wage whichever is less. (additional requirements exist)

• Research and development enterprises paying 150% of the state or county wage whichever is less and technology intensive enterprises paying 150% of the state wage. (additional requirements exist)

• All eligible enterprises must provide a basic health benefits plan

• All eligible enterprises must execute a performance agreement with MDA specifying the manner in which the enterprise will utilize the rebate.

The amount available for rebate will be the lesser of (1) the qualified employees’ state personal income tax withholding; (2) a cost/benefit analysis prepared by MDA; or (3) a legal maximum of 4%. This amount is then multiplied by:

• 90% if the annual average wage is at least 175% of the county or state wage; whichever is less;

• 80% if the annual average wage is at least 125% and less than 175% of the county or state wage, whichever is less;

• 70% if the annual average wage is at less than 125% of the county or state wage, whichever is less.

The information provided in this summary may change as MDA and other agencies develop guidelines for the new programs and adjust guidelines for existing programs.
