Terracon and EDR Extend Strategic Partnership to Deliver Solutions to Commercial Real Estate Markets

OLATHE, Kan. and SHELTON, Conn., March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Terracon has announced an agreement to renew and extend its strategic partnership with EDR, the nation's leading provider of real estate due diligence information and workflow solutions. 

John Sallman, Terracon's senior principal & assistant director of environmental services noted that, "This new agreement solidifies our position that EDR's environmental data products have been an integral part of our Phase I Environmental Site Assessment projects for many years.  EDR's continued investments in their data platform are a major reason for renewing our strategic partnership."

Recent examples of EDR's investments include:

• The creation of the EDR City Directory Super Library; a one-of-a-kind digital repository of the nation's largest street directory collections.
• The complete Certified Sanborn Map™ collection now fully digitized and mosaicked for online search, retrieval and display.
• Fully digitized and georeferenced historical aerial photography and historical topographic maps.

EDR and Terracon have also committed to implement back-office integrations to streamline information flows between the two firms. Through these integrations, Terracon will be able to improve the speed of thousands of environmental due diligence projects each year, delivering valuable time savings to their customers and setting the company apart from its competitors.

According to EDR CEO, Rob Barber, "Improving project workflow to reduce turnaround times is a major challenge for due diligence firms today. We are excited for the opportunity to help Terracon, a long-time strategic partner, achieve new efficiencies and competitive advantages.  While quality data will always be important, I believe what will drive success in the future is mastering the technological challenges associated with consulting work.  Terracon is clearly committed to this and is a leader in their space."
