Summary • Faster means using the most current, view to show exact ground-truth and the ability to react, make decisions and/or change direction faster minimizing any business or environmental impacts • Faster means detecting change in a matter of days – not months or quarterly. • Faster means collecting broad extensive regions, countries and metropolitan areas for: basemaps on portals, navigation/mobile devices and coverage of global enterprises assets • Faster means always having a competitive edge over other satellite imagery or free imagery sources • Better means up-to-date and most in-depth historical imagery for projects and analysis • Better ability in processing improvements from consistency within the imagery, additional analysis of the pixels with the extra bands and better confidence with results • Better means further analysis from the pixels, and better confidence in the results • Better means confidence that they can rely on DigitalGlobe as the one source for all projects DigitalGlobe Proprietary
