History

Datum Workstation™, originally called MicroImages, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Dr. Lee D. Miller and Michael J. Unverferth with its first software product, the Map and Image Processing System (MIPS). MIPS had been developed in a university setting for image processing on microcomputers. The software evolved into a broad, integrated system that includes features for image processing, GIS, CAD, TIN, desktop cartography, spatial database management, and visualization. In 1993, MIPS was renamed TNTmips® and made available for all Windows and Mac computers. MicroImages has a long and reliable release history with short release cycles. Since 2004 a new version has been released every year containing new features along with weekly editions for updates.

In 2020, MicroImages™, Paris Geospatial (Scripts By Jack™), and Syncarto™ were acquired by LandScan, LLC to form Datum Geospatial.
