The Trimble suite of solutions jells with President/CEO Steve Berglund's axiom that Trimble isn't a products company but rather a solution provider. "Value," he said, "is created by the integration of multiple technologies. One product isn't enough."

The Connected Survey Site concept answers this call with positioning technologies, and wireless and software solutions. Berglund said the company's goals are to make more products more convenient and more cost-effective. He specifically highlighted laser scanning technology, which he said will be making its move into the mainstream of surveying practice. Along with asset management and wireless tools, Berglund touted Trimble's solution of seamless data flow and asset performance.
