LizardTech, Inc., a Seattle-based software company, has been named one of three finalists in Washington Software Alliance's Industry Achievement Awards under the category Most Promising New Company. LizardTech is known primarily for its MrSID (Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database) based technology and software, the most powerful raster imaging environment on the planet. MrSID is capable of achieving compression ratios of 75:1 (and higher) with no loss of visual data, while also allowing users to display, explore, transmit and output their imagery in a manner never before possible. MrSID's unique functionality, compression of images of any size and selective decompression, has propelled it to become an industry standard for raster images in the Geospatial market in the past year. Currently LizardTech is making significant headway in the Publishing, Medical Imaging, and Document Management markets where high image quality and small image size are equally vital considerations. In addition, MrSID's unparalleled compression ratios allow high-quality images to be served over the Internet at previously unheard-of speeds. Among the many national and international companies and agencies to have benefitted from MrSID technology are the US Geological Survey (USGS), the US Library of Congress, Earth Data Internationl, Space Imaging/EOSAT, Analytical Surveys, Inc., San Diego Data Processing Corporation and Vargis. Since 1997, LizardTech, Inc. has grown from a company of 3 to a company of 30. As more markets discover the incredible benefits of MrSID as a robust imaging environment integrated into their applications, LizardTech's growth can only accelerate. Copyright © 1998 LizardTech.
