InterDev, an Atlanta-area provider of information technology, security, and geographic information systems (GIS) recently launched a new technology incubator, Location Intelligence Labs (LIL). Founded as a discipline within InterDev's GIS department, the lab is a place where the GIS team can help push new technology.
Currently, InterDev's GIS team provides support for nine cities throughout the southeast. Location Intelligence Labs will serve as a technology incubator of innovative ideas, incorporating the best ideas from each community and applying it to other locations. "Much like a university innovation lab, the Lab is where InterDev's GIS employees bring their brightest ideas", said InterDev's CEO, Gary Nichols. "Many of the Location Intelligence Labs projects were inspired by our GIS teams innovative work on public sector projects, which are then nurtured, shaped, and matured within the lab."
