� Created: June 21, 2013
� Results from merger of:
� Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS)
� Mapping Information Branch (MIB) � Mapping Information Branch (MIB)
� Two main drivers for the merger are the convergence of technologies in the mapping and remote sensing areas and the convergence in the way CCRS and MIB deliver their business.

Advancing Coordination and Cooperation in EO & Geomatics – Bringing It Back to Earth
12
� Turning space data into relevant geospatial information and sharing it effectively with users, from large departments to small communities, maximizes the value of Canada’s investment in space
� Important to focus on improving horizontal integration (EO and geomatics), vertical integration (satellites to mobiles) and efficiencies (build once – use many times) through increased collaboration and coordination within the GoC and with other orders collaboration and coordination within the GoC and with other orders of government.
