EarthSoft updates environmental data collection software

There's a new version out of EarthSoft's EQuIS Data Gathering Engine (EDGE) software, which is used for collecting environmental data by field crews. One of the notable new features is GPS support, along with an electronic sketchpad that lets you marry data to aerial photos, site plans or other templates related to a field location where data is being tracked. EarthSoft, which is a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, claims to be the "mostly widely used environmental data management system in the world." It counts as its clients government agencies, roughly 300 environmental consultants and more than 450 analytical labs.
