Austria: Singapore-based Imagemaps has become the first non-Microsoft calibration and support centre in the worldwide UltraCam service network to offer support all over Asia. The addition of a service centre and calibration lab in Singapore will make it possible for Microsoft to handle support calls 24/7 from anywhere in the world.
The high precision calibration lab of Imagemaps is located in the company’s Singapore Science Park facility.
