Intergraph ist mit knapp 3.700 Mitarbeitern einer der weltweit führenden Anbieter von Software im Segment Spatial Information Management (SIM – raumbezogenes Informationsmanagement), Geoinformationssysteme (GIS) sowie Anlagenbau / Verfahrenstechnik mit Hauptsitz in Huntsville/USA.

Intergraph ermöglicht nach eigenen Angaben seinen Kunden, komplexe Daten in verständlicher und praktikabler Weise zu verwalten und zu visualisieren – zumeist mittels Visualisierungskomponenten wie digitale Karten –, um operative Entscheidungen besser und schneller fällen zu können. Unternehmen und Behörden in mehr als 60 Ländern vertrauen auf Intergraph-Technologie und Dienstleistung, um intelligente Karten zu erzeugen, aufgabenbezogene Betriebseinrichtungen und Infrastrukturen zu verwalten, Anlagen und Schiffe zu bauen und zu betreiben sowie Einsatzleitsysteme zu betreiben und öffentliche Sicherheit zu gewährleisten.

Intergraph existiert seit 1969 in den USA, seit 1978 in Deutschland und ist an der NASDAQ unter dem Börsen-Symbol INGR gelistet.

GeoMedia

GeoMedia ist ein 1997 eingeführtes Geoinformationssystem (GIS) der Firma Intergraph. GeoMedia bezeichnet eine Software-Produktfamilie, hauptsächlich unterteilt in Desktop-GIS (GeoMedia und GeoMedia Professional) und Web-GIS (GeoMedia WebMap und GeoMedia WebMap Professional). Zudem existieren weitere GeoMedia-Lösungen zu kommunalen Fragestellungen, Gelände-/Höhenmodellverarbeitung, Verarbeitung von Raster-/Vektorimages, etc. und schließlich GeoMedia Plus mit starker CAD-Komponente.

Hauptkonkurrent ist das Produkt ArcInfo der Firma ESRI, hinter dem GeoMedia den zweiten Platz auf dem weltweiten wie auch auf dem deutschsprachigen Markt belegt.

In Deutschland wird die Software von zahlreichen Kommunen, Unternehmen und Universitäten verwendet.
