QUIK has been at work on this one for some time now ( over a yr). Its an ecosystem item, cannot be done alone, by one player it takes
a hybrid approach, lets track along and see who is in this ecosystem.
One job opening that was filled last yr. sticks in my mind. The expertise that they wanted in this area was a very high level skill set. Complete, cutting edge and Beyond, Had to read it over and over to understand that they were NOT
going in just one little bit into location, but the
Whole, thing. Integrated SLAM( more partners)
