ORLANDO - Data Transfer Solutions, LLC, (DTS) the Orlando-based firm that provides asset management, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), transportation planning, Web design, database applications, and video and multimedia production services to local governments and regional and state agencies throughout the U.S., reported its 2010 first quarter results rank among the company’s best since its founding in 2004.
A.M. “Trey” Fragala III, AICP, PMP, chief operating officer at Data Transfer Solutions, said the firm was awarded 28 new contracts in the first quarter ending March 31 and formalized 11 agreements called contract vehicles that may result in ongoing work assignments, the largest of which worth a potential $8M over five years.
In the largest single contract executed during the first quarter, DTS is developing unique GIS mapping technology that will help the Texas Forest Service identify forest lands susceptible to wildfire outbreaks. That contract is worth an estimated $360,000, Fragala said.
First quarter revenues grew by more than 28 percent over the same period last year, Fragala said.
“We are now working on more and larger individual projects than ever before,” Fragala said.
“We have established DTS as a dominant provider in several work areas that can substantially reduce the cost of government services just at the time when reducing the cost of government is a critical concern,” he said.
Fragala said DTS plans to expand one division---the firm’s Earth Eye subsidiary, which provides aerial and mobile LiDAR, orthophotography, and precision mapping, and may spin off another division--- as a subsidiary company as well.
