MELBOURNE, Australia, July 14, 2026 – Octave Intelligence has appointed Veris Limited as its geospatial distributor and support partner in Australia and New Zealand, giving customers a local channel for Octave’s geospatial and imagery software.
Veris will provide customer support, consulting, training and implementation services for Octave GeoMedia (formerly GeoMedia); Octave Alto (formerly Luciad); Octave Imagine (formerly ERDAS IMAGINE); and Octave Alto Data Management (formerly ERDAS Apollo).
“This partnership is about maximizing value and outcomes for our customers,” said Chris Leaver, Octave’s executive director for customer success and new business in Australia and New Zealand. “Through our partnership, customers in Australia and New Zealand gain trusted local expertise from Veris, attuned to regional regulations, industry challenges and operational needs, while continuing to leverage Octave’s global leadership in geospatial and imagery innovation.”
