Though primarily conceived as an introduction to GeoTech, we, as the editorial board, have decided to extend the content to cover technological issues in GIS as well. A quick glance at TechnoloGIS will give you the flavor of recent advances in the technology of GIS.

You will find more about the technologies used by us in upcoming issues.

In the middle of this issue we introduce GeoTech, a geomatics leader in the Middle East, which comprises a rich portfolio of our completed projects. You may consider collecting the middle parts of the magazine, which will provide you with your own, complimentary, and absolutely free copy of GeoTech’s brief company profile.

All of the parts of this newsletter, including the design and printing have been done by the GeoTech Group.

You can also check the latest GQ announcements and the recent issues through our website at http://www.ags-group.com/gq. Please take a few minutes to subscribe so that you will always receive a copy of GQ, free! Your subscription through the Internet will be faster and is preferred by us, but we accept subscriptions through regular mail services also. Your support is vital to motivate us for future issues.

The editorial board and content providers have exceeded all expectations, having contributed their best efforts to support the publication and realization of this publication.

Needless to say, this newsletter could not be brought to you without the strong, kind and encouraging support of the President of the GeoTech Executive Board, Prof. Dr. Kamil EREN.

My sincere thanks to all of the contributors for helping put this publication together.

As the editor of this newsletter, I would like to welcome you to our first issue and hope to see you again in the next quarter.

Best wishes.

The Editor
