Gene Furrow Joins Agilaire! (Feb 2008)
We're happy to announce further expansion of our development staff with the addition of Gene Furrow. Gene joined ESC in 1994, and will now be working with Agilaire as a Senior Developer. He brings lots of ambient experience to us, and is up to date on the latest development tools utilized in our AirVision development (C#, .NET, etc). Welcome aboard, Gene!
AirVision Update (Nov 2007)
Our more recent meetings with customers have taken the vision beyond a simple upgrade from E-DAS/ATX to a platform for handling many new data streams, especially in air toxics, and, for some agencies, spatially integrating soil and water data with PM/air data. Some of the new functions planned include:
• Expansion of the Generic File Import Tool to parse header columns in files
• Support of spatial data types for future GIS mapping applications
• Ability to link files to annotations (e.g., chain of custody)
• User defined acquired data units vs. reporting units (e.g., data collected as PPM, report as PPB, or vice-versa). This is becoming essential since most digital instrument interfaces are fixed at providing either PPM or PPB reporting.
• Faster handling of data access for editing/reporting functions.
To minimize the delay in the release schedule, we've pushed as much of the new capability work as possible to Version 2, but much of these additional requirements affects the database and system design to the extent that we've had to rethink and refactor some of the work done so far to build a solid foundation. To put it another way, we need to pull up some stakes and move the tent to a better spot if we're going to get a good night's sleep.
We strongly feel these changes and the additional delay will be worthwhile, given the long view we have for AirVision. Rather than an end-of-year release, we are now planning to release AirVision in March/April 2008 *with* full E-DAS/ATX equivalency plus about 40% of the planned enhancements. Version 2, with the remaining planned enhnacements would be issued in the fall.

Agilaire New Team Member: Bob Trull
Many previous ESC customers remember receiving training from Bob Trull. Agilaire is glad to announce Bob coming on board to support our trainings, as well as project installations and... well, his capabilities are far and wide, so who knows? We plan for Bob to receive detailed orientation from Tekran on their ambient monitoring line, so Agilaire will be able to offer training on the Tekran instruments for customers here in the U.S.
