S&K Technologies and Positive Systems Land Additional Federal Work

The partnership between S&K Technologies (SKT) and Positive Systems, Inc. continues to flourish and have a significant impact on the local Flathead Valley economy as the two Montana based technology firms were recently awarded an additional contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The contract is in excess of $600,000 and is associated with the USDA’s ongoing implementation plan to facilitate computer mapping (Geographic Information Systems) at their 3,000 field offices. The work associated with this contract is scheduled to be completed early in 2004.

Early in 2003, the SKT and Positive Systems team was awarded a contract to provide the USDA with a variety of digital mapping products including aerial photography imagery and field boundary line drawings specific to the state of Montana. The latest contract calls for delivering similar products for the states of Maryland and Delaware.

These products afford the USDA the ability to perform a variety of agricultural analysis on features such as soil information, land ownership, land use, as well as to monitor agricultural crop compliance. Positive Systems’ DIME® and GeoCLU™ software are key tools in delivering these products in the manner specified by the USDA.

SKT’s corporate goals and objectives include facilitating the infusion of new technology on the Flathead Indian Reservation and providing educational and employment opportunities. As a direct result of the ongoing work with the USDA, the tribally owned enterprise has added several new positions thereby aiding the fulfillment of stated corporate goals.

In addition, , Positive Systems has also increased its staffing and now occupies two offices in Whitefish. Overall, the contracts have created more than 35 positions between the two companies. The contract also marks a significant financial milestone for the Positive Systems organization, as the revenues generated will contribute significantly to fiscal goals.
