Clary & Associates Celebrates 22 Years of Service to Florida

Jacksonville, FL — October 15, 2005 — Jacksonville-based Clary & Associates, Inc., the industry leader for professional surveying and mapping services throughout Florida, has good reason to celebrate — longevity. The company is now celebrating its 22nd year in business, with its success spurred by phenomenal regional growth.

Founded in 1983, Clary & Associates began setting the benchmark for the local industry with only seven employees and the manual measuring tools of the day. Two decades later, Greg Clary’s team of highly skilled professionals uses the latest in cutting-edge technology and equipment in order to meet growing client demand.

“I am very proud of the progress we’ve made, not only as a company, but within the industry as well,” said Greg Clary, president and founder of Clary & Associates, Inc. “We are committed to providing comprehensive services with accurate results. We have a diverse client base, and the continued growth and development of our area dictates their need for survey and map information in a timely manner. Through our use of leading GPS technology, we collect a vast amount of data to efficiently complete each project. Our services are cost-effective and provide our clients a solid foundation for making decisions that ultimately affect all of us. We’ll continue our work with the same dedication and integrity for years to come.”

Headquartered in Jacksonville, Clary & Associates continues to actively recruit the best local and regional talent. It has expanded operations in recent years with a 6,500-square-foot facility and branch offices in Baymeadows and St. Marys, Georgia to accommodate growth and have the capacity to better serve clients.

Over the years, Clary & Associates has upgraded its Global Positioning System (GPS) to the latest technology to provide Geodetic Control for its surveying projects. From AutoCAD/Softdesk, Microstation/GeoPak and MicroSurvey, Clary & Associates uses only the most recent applications to provide state-of-the-art surveying and mapping services.

Clary also uses emerging Bluetooth wireless communication technology by equipping key personnel with Blackberry Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). The Blackberry provides 24/7 phone, email and calendar access nationwide. According to Clary, this technology is critical in the fast-paced environment of today’s marketplace, as timely communication is key in responding to clients in a quick and efficient manner. Additionally, having the ability to send and receive survey information via the Internet ensures that projects remain on course towards their timely and successful completion.

Ease in communication also is necessary for effective field operations. Recently, Clary added a real-time GPS vehicle tracking system in order to equip management with the technology to coordinate vehicle routes and operations via the Internet. The benefits of this technology include higher rates in employee productivity and driver-and-vehicle safety, which also result in increased work efficiencies and accountability.
