While both areas share a common goal of delivering actionable information – linking
isolated silos of information across entire organisations and supply networks – each
specialises in its own mix of hardware, software and services. The GES segment is focused
on capturing, managing and leveraging geospatial and positioning information, while the
IES segment is focused on manufacturing and engineering.
