When we met the Cartegraph management team, we knew they were passionate about this opportunity,” says Eric Wilkins, Pamlico.
Partner. Christiane Felts, Pamlico Vice President, adds: “We look forward to driving additional core product innovation, while also expanding the existing offering to more broadly address the asset management and business operations needs of Cartegraph’s civic clients.”
