CHICAGO, May 15 /NAVTEQ (NYSE:NVT), a leading global provider of digital map data for location-based solutions and vehicle navigation, is providing its map data to Mapcom Systems for integration with its industry leading Geographical Operations System (GOS) software, M4 Solutions. Mapcom's M4 Solutions software is used by telecommunication companies to map and manage inside and outside plant operations, as well as to openly integrate plant records with existing billing, accounting and customer service applications.
Mapcom Systems is a leader in GOS solutions for the telecommunications industry, providing software and data conversion as well as integration and workflow analysis services.
