Denny Welch Senior Vice President for Survey for Topcon and Sokkia

摘要

Even during the deepest trough of the recession, the economic mantra from Topcon and Sokkia has never changed: Invest in around-the-corner technology! Now! The companies have been adamant that survey firms need to research technological advances and purchase advanced precise-positioning instruments to remain competitive. Has that message changed? No, and it won't today, or in the future. Surveyors not feeling an overwhelming competitive rush and a need to invest in new technology that transforms every project into a complete digital job site are putting their future in jeopardy. Is that a harsh and non-compromising statement? Absolutely. But, that doesn't make it any less true.
