Core Values and Commitment to Quality

History of Silvacom

Silvacom is a 100% employee-owned, Canadian natural resource management company established in Edmonton in 1983. 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.

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.
