Established in 1987, EGL develops and implements Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology with a special focus to date on the local government sector working with more than 20 city, district and regional councils, representing over 30% of NZ.

These territorial authorities use EGL services and GIS applications for infrastructural asset management, district planning, regulatory responsibilities and the delivery of customer services. The company’s other long-term clients include the Ministry of Economic Development and Airways Corporation.

EGL has also achieved recognition by winning international awards from Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) for its Aeronautical Charting work and won the Best Cyber Business award at the 2003 Porirua City Business Awards.
