SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today that the Washington
State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forestry
Division, one of the largest state forestry operations in the U.S.,
will implement Trimble's Land Resource Manager (LRM) solution to
deliver a common platform, simplified processes and timely access
to land management activities related to timber sales,
silviculture, forest inventory and timber revenue.
Trimble's LRM solution is an intuitive, interactive and
spatially aware enterprise application for managing land and
forestry operations. The software solution serves the critical
functions of forest resource planning, management and decision
support with flexible customer-specific business workflows. LRM is
a key component of Trimble's Connected Forest solutions, which
manage the full raw materials lifecycle.
"State agencies are challenged to improve processes, which only
increases as IT systems age and the demand for information
increases," said Ken Moen,
general manager of Trimble's Forestry Division. "We look
forward to supporting the Washington
State Department of Natural Resources on its transformation
associated with the ability to share and manage their extensive
forestry supply chain data."
About Washington Department of Natural Resources
The Washington State Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) manages over 3,000,000 acres (12,000
square kilometers) of forest, range, agricultural, and commercial
lands for the U.S. state of Washington. The DNR also manages 2,600,000
acres (11,000 square kilometers) of aquatic areas which include
shorelines, tidelands, lands under Puget Sound and the coast, and
navigable lakes and rivers. The main sources of funds for the
department's activities are forestry and geoduck harvesting, rather
