Explorer Graphics Limited (EGL) was established in 1987 by cartographers David and Beryl Pimblott. In 1988 David introduced ESRI GIS technology to New Zealand. EGL was established to offer GIS services and enable clients to maximize the potential of their GIS investments. EGL’s early client base still remains today with a special focus on supporting Local and Regional Government.
EGL has grown considerably over the years with an expanding area of focus and now has a presence in the United States and India as well as a large share of the New Zealand geographic information systems market.
In 2005, EGL formed a joint venture with NorthSouth GIS LLC. NorthSouth GIS India joined the NorthSouth GIS Group via Sudhakar Arumulla, a former EGL employee.
EGL has undergone a rebranding exercise through 2011 to become NorthSouth GIS NZ Ltd. Consequently, our website is now www.northsouthgis.co.nz and our emails reflect the change to become @northsouthgis.co.nz. We are still the same great company, doing the same great work!
