Tareen said Geocove will host follow-up webinars for specialists who were unable to attend the user group conference.
“We are excited about our users’ enthusiasm and support of our products and company,” Tareen said. “We couldn’t ask for a better group of individuals and communities to work with and will continue to work with our customers to make our product line meet and hopefully exceed their expectations and needs,” she said.
