KHEOPS becomes K2 Geospatial
The Montreal-based company changes its name
Montreal,October 20, 2009. KHEOPS technologies, a canadian firm, editor of JMap software a geospatial on line solution, has changed its name and will now beknown as K2 Geospatial.
Thegrowth and development of international markets required a more evocative andpersonnalized name to reflect the company's sector of activity. "This change ofname became necessary, because several kheops, keops or cheops already existed,both here and elsewhere, and this caused confusion. Also, the copyright ofkheops did not belong to us and the word "technologies" did not define clearlyenough our activities" said Jacques Charron, President of K2 Geospatial."Moreover, after 15 years of activity, our company has greatly changed. From aconsulting firm working mainly in Quebec, we have become a software editor,increasingly active in international markets.
This change of name became necessary but managementwanted to maintain a connection with the old name. Thus, the K evokes KHEOPS,the number 2 refers to the company's second generation (and coincides with Web2.0!) and Geospatial speaks for itself; Finally, K2, like the well-known Karakorum mountain, refers tomovement, youth, inspiration of wide territories, solidity of rock and a goalto reach.
Finally, the new name means a new graphic signature, anew Website (and a Blog) as well as an update of our marketing strategies.However, although we will be known as K2 GEOSPATIAL, there will be no impact onthe administrative, corporate and legal standing of the company.
On this occasion, we will also be launching JMap Version4.0, our flagship product.
