Herndon, V.A. -- July 11, 2011 -- Contex, the world's leading developer of wide format scanning and imaging solutions, today announces it will showcase Wiseimage Vectory, a new, automated raster-to-vector software tool, at the upcoming ESRI User Conference in San Diego, CA, July 11-15. WiseImage Vectory is ideal for GIS professionals to automatically convert scanned drawings, maps, and plans to vector format. This tool complements Contex's full range of award-winning, wide format scanning solutions, which will be on display at the User Conference, including the XD2490 deployable system. Contex scanning experts will also be on hand to demonstrate how to integrate scanned files into GIS, and how to use Contex scanning solutions for more than just scanning. For example, the experts will show attendees how easy it is to copy and print, as well as use the scanning solutions for archiving and document management. Contex will be located at booth #1407.

Additionally, Contex has several activities and promotions planned for ESRI attendees. At Contex booth #1407, the company will host daily workshops that teach GIS professionals how to use scanned documents with GIS and ESRI applications easily and effectively. Visitors that participate in the workshop or a product demonstration will be entered to win a set of high-performance binoculars. Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of Wiseimage Vectory, with the purchase of any scanner.

"ESRI is the ideal venue to showcase our newest addition to our wide format scanning solutions," states Edward Delaney, Federal Sales Director for Contex Americas. "It's the industry's largest event for GIS professionals, and we look forward to continually providing this community with the latest in scanning and mapping solutions that improve efficiency and save time."

WiseImage Vectory is the newest member to the Wiseimage family of scanning enhancement tools available through Contex Americas. When used with a Contex wide format scanner, WiseImage Vectory saves customers valuable time by automatically correcting scanned images and eliminating linear and non-linear image distortions using the calibration procedure.
