Our founding partners, Tom Grabowski and Bob Morton, are both graduates of the University of Alberta.** During our early years, we focused on consulting services for government and research operations, as well as the innovative application of ruggedized handheld computers for field data collection. We pioneered the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), advanced database technologies, mobile computing, and analytics for resource inventories, management, mapping, and land-based planning. ![History of Silvacom](https://www.silvacom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/image%20(22)%20(1).png?width=899&height=719&name=image%20(22)%20(1).png) As we grew, we realized our core strength was our passion and ability to manage large data sets with complex geospatial information. In 2002, we trademarked the phrase "Data is our core business™". Today, we provide professional services to private- and public-sector organizations across North America. Our external Board of Directors helps our clients balance social, environmental, and economic challenges, leading to better outcomes for all. Our long-term clients appreciate that we offer a comprehensive suite of natural resource management services under one roof. We build meaningful, trusting, long-lasting relationships with our clients. ## Our Mission   **We are committed to building a great company:** an enterprise we can be proud of, that engages in meaningful work, and that makes a positive difference in the world. ![](https://www.silvacom.com/hubfs/Logos/2013_Silvacom_Icon_GRAD.png) ## Our Core Values   We are united by our core values.
