Our story

Our journey began with a strong passion for geospatial innovation and a clear vision: to help organizations fully realize the potential of their data. Founded by Robert Carroll, whose career spans decades in the geospatial industry, our company stands on a foundation of expertise, insight, and a commitment to excellence. Rob’s extensive experience includes key roles at Pictometry, where he contributed to advancements in global oblique aerial imagery; at Nearmap, where he led the launch of its North American operations; and at Vexcel, where he specialized in ultra-high-resolution geospatial data programs and AI-driven features for sectors like insurance, government, and utilities. He also has a strong background in satellite imagery, including applications such as bathymetric analysis and high-frequency satellite updates. This breadth of experience gives us a unique perspective on how different types of imagery can drive informed decision-making. With a deep understanding of geospatial data strategy, AI solutions, and go-to-market consulting, we are here to empower businesses to succeed in a data-driven world.

Our values

Our values are rooted in our commitment to harnessing the power of vast geospatial data and imagery to drive impactful insights and solutions.

Our scope

The name "Tera Analytics" conveys a sense of vastness and enormity, reflecting our company’s ability to handle and analyze massive datasets, particularly in the realm of geospatial data and imagery. Derived from the Greek word teras, meaning "monster," the prefix "tera" is widely recognized to represent trillions—a fitting association for our capacity to work with data on an immense scale, from terabytes to petabytes and beyond. This scope allows Tera Analytics to harness insights from vast stores of geospatial information, tackling complex challenges that demand extensive spatial data processing and analysis. The name underscores our position at the frontier of geospatial "big data," where we transform large volumes of imagery and spatial datasets into actionable intelligence. Tera Analytics is well-equipped to support industries that depend on high-volume geospatial analytics, offering robust solutions that reveal patterns, trends, and insights critical for informed decision-making across a variety of sectors.
