SpatialWorx originated in the SpatialAge division of Byers Engineering Company ( byers.com), an Atlanta, Georgia (USA) based firm that has been providing technical services and software products to its Telecom, Utility, Government, and Transportation industry clients since 1971. Byers has more than 1,000 employees working in regional offices from New England to California.
Byers software products include EWO (Engineering Work Order) - a CAD/GIS application for Telecom engineers, Map Viewer - a GIS field viewing app for Telecom and Utility network service technicians, and NexusWorx ( nexusworx.byers.com) - a fiber network management application used extensively by state departments of transportation, local municipalities, and private fiber providers.

SpatialWorx continues to develop to meet the needs of our customer base. Looking forward, we see tremendous opportunities to expand our base mapping capabilities, build more efficient and powerful functions into our front-end project definition, user management, and form building interfaces, extend the capabilities of the mobile app, and continue to add integrations with other platforms to support virtually any mapping or data management system through new import, export, and publishing options.
