Terra Genesis began business in December 1986 as Wyman Real Estate Company.
During this time the importance of location, the relationships between spatial
entities and uniqueness of place over space were learned through market
experience. Geographic Information System (GIS) skills were first learned
through the use of cadastral database and their relationships to economic
value, planning, and the greater picture of information organization through
spatial indexing.
Beginning in 1991, the company principal, Dr. Max M. Wyman, began using
operations research (OR) techniques as applied to transportation/allocation
problem solving. Because of the firm's growing understanding of spatial
interactions, a separate consulting practice began to form. To reflect its
diversifying information services, the company changed its name to Terra
Genesis in 1997 and was incorporated in October of 2001.
GENII was first conceived as an information integration approach in 1999
when computing, relational database tools, and the internet began emerging
as synergistic tools. The June 2001 Kiplinger Letter, Forecasts for Management
Decision-Making further predicted such Dynamic Resource Management (DRM)
systems and GENII was modeled after this vision. Since that time GENII has
been evolved into a leading Enterprise Information Integration (EII) tool.
In addition to marketing GENII EII software, Terra Genesis consulting staff
remain leaders in the methods and lore of enterprise integration, data
interoperability, and process change.
