Setting a Standard:  Integrate to offer complimentary copies of TerraBase Environmental Software

March 11, 2003, Baton Rouge, LA - Responding to the environmental industry’s need for a single standard for collection of data, environmental solutions provider Integrate is making an offer that’s hard to refuse – a complimentary copy of its highly touted TerraBase software.  Under its newly formed QuickStart program, qualified recipients will be provided a complimentary version of TerraBase WorkStation, which normally retails for $3100.  “Users from qualified environmental service companies, agencies and academia can receive a copy of TerraBase WorkStation by simply asking for it.  It’s that simple,” commented Curtis Plumlee, Vice President of Business Development for Integrate.

Integrate's TerraBase software lets users organize and assemble both historical and current data into a single, accurate database. Typical environmental projects generate a huge volume of data, which is constantly evaluated and updated. The TerraBase application adds uniformity and organization to this all-important data management function.  

The promotional program is designed to spark interest in developing a badly needed standard for data management  in the environmental industry. “Surprisingly, there is no uniformity in the way the environmental industry collects and organizes environmental data, resulting in excessive duplication, cost and confusion,” explained Integrate Vice President Dana Michel.  “By offering data managers complimentary use of our TerraBase software, we hope to steer the industry toward a single standard.”  

TerraBase was first released in 1996  and is currently used by URS, Michael Baker, Entempus, Waste Management, Conoco, U.S. Marine Corp, PPG Industries and Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality to name a few. 

Integrate will also provide unlimited installation telephone support, electronic versions of training courseware, online frequently asked questions area, access to Integrate’s online Knowledgebase and complimentary training once a month at Integrate corporate headquarters in Baton Rouge. 

Users can enroll in the QuickStart program by contacting Integrate directly at www.terrabase.com or one of Integrate’s designated Business Partners.
