"The potential uses for Luna's Insight software are unlimited, and I am looking forward to introducing our solutions to new markets, from the GIS community to medicine, oil and gas, engineering, corporate marketing and government. Any business whose digital assets are critical to their operation will find Luna products are the best of breed solution for their needs," says Zortea. "At the same time, Luna's current market will continue to get the same personal attention and level of commitment it now receives."
