This year has brought renewed optimism to the mining industry. While a feeling of volatility and uncertainty continues, there has been a marked improvement in global commodity demand. The result has been an upturn in the industry outlook, and Maptek is already helping our customers take advantage of this.
As the world economy continues to recover, an abundance of opportunities will arise for Maptek and our customers. The remainder of this year and going into 2011 will present many expected (and unexpected) challenges to all mining-related businesses. Those companies able to quickly adapt their business process and practice to meet the fluctuating requirements in the evolving economic landscape will be in a good position to thrive. Maptek technology will be an essential ingredient in driving and supporting growth.
As ever, listening to our customers and understanding their needs will remain the centrepiece of our strategy. We will continue to invest in areas where we can streamline operations and extend our contribution to the mining value chain. We will embrace the challenges that we experience going forward and emerge an even stronger company. Maptek appreciates that as stewards we must focus on delivering quality products and services. One thing that has not changed here at Maptek is our recognition that our customers’ success is our success. Here’s to a successful 2010 for the mining community.
