WOODINVILLE, Wash., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ — Edward Zander, the former
Chairman and CEO of Motorola and former President and COO of Sun Microsystems,
has joined the board of EagleView Technologies, the aerial measurement company
that provides breakthrough measurement reports to the roofing, solar, fencing
and other industries using detailed aerial photography to provide lengths,
pitches, valleys and other hard-to-see areas more accurately than can be done
by hand.

“We’re honored and excited to have Ed as part of our team,” says Chris
Barrow
, EagleView’s CEO. “He adds significant depth and experience to our
company as we move forward and grow to new heights. Ed is a legend in the
business world. It is truly humbling to have him as a member of our board.
His presence speaks volumes about our company and its growth potential.”

Said Zander, “I’m thrilled to be a part of this new and exciting
technology company. The aerial measurement space is in its infancy, and
EagleView is in a leadership position with their technology and operational
excellence. I am particularly bullish on their first usage category of the
roofing industry to provide a professional and accurate service to help
roofers win more business and improve profitability. EagleView’s highly
accurate and affordable measurement reports have created a bright future for
this company.”

Zander was CEO and Chairman of the Board of Motorola from January 2004
until January 2008, remaining as chairman until May 2008. Zander joined Sun
Microsystems in 1987. He was promoted to CEO and then President in 1998 and
1999, respectively. He left in 2002 to become managing director at Silver Lake
Partners, a technology investment fund. Today he serves on the board of
directors of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he received a degree in
electrical engineering, and on the advisory board of the Boston University
School of Management, where he received his Master of Business Administration
and later an honorary Ph.D.

EagleView’s first product, the Premium Roofing Report, is targeted at
insurance adjusters and roofing contractors. With EagleView’s reports, the
roofing, remodeling, and construction industries have a tool for winning more
business with more professional-looking presentations, and can maintain higher
profit margins with highly accurate measurements. EagleView also helps its
customers increase customer satisfaction by providing transparency around the
measurement process for roofing, deck-building, fencing, solar heating,
gutters and other projects where consumers and insurance companies have an
interest in the estimating process.

Concluded Barrow, “With Ed’s experience growing successful companies, we
have added significant depth and experience to our team. The combination of
that experience and EagleView’s lead in this emerging aerial measurement
market have positioned us very well for the future.”
