What makes SpatialCloud different than other online geospatial and mapping services?
Currently most online mapping services are: • Selling/distributing datasets to consumers for use within their current GIS system • Providing an open-source solution to a specific mapping/GIS problem • Providing consumer level viewing of geospatial data • Providing developer tools for 3D viewing-only or mashups of datasets SpatialCloud will be capable of many of these roles plus: • Gives you the power to decide what geospatial capabilities you wish to deploy into your application • Adds the ability to add custom data into the “cloud” for access to your application • Lower costs via open-source software and the elimination or per seat licensing fees – you pay only for web-services you choose to utilize • Provides robust developer support and tools to allow development of applications in a timely and cost effective manner
