Benefits
- Faster time to market – We specialize in mapping and geospatial tools. You need to focus on your core competencies, not trying to figure out a lot of new and specialized technology that we already know about. This product is a turnkey solution that lets you focus on integrating mapping with the applications that are core to your business.
- Capacity – Our highly optimized maps are very efficient from a server point of view. We have commercial clients that serve nearly half a million maps per day from their production clusters and we have small clients that are just starting out. Both are concerned about capacity and use us because we know how to make Mapserver go fast!
- Cost Control – We insure that you have the capacity to handle the demand for maps that your application may generate over time with minimal increase in costs. Our flexible site licensing and use of an OpenSource mapping engine means that your costs are mostly related to hardware and bandwidth. You don't have to pay ever-increasing costs for pay-per-click services, or additional software licensing fees.
