Governance Sector

Environment and Climate Change Canada

Environment and Climate Change Canada runs GeoNetwork as its central catalog for geospatial data. With GeoCat Live, operating and maintaining that environment is transformed: secure, current and scalable, without extra load on internal IT.

Fully managed GeoNetwork operations
Zero Added IT burden
National Canada-wide catalog

Organisation: Environment and Climate Change Canada
Sector: Governance
Deployment: ISO 19115 OGC API

[ The challenge ]

Keeping a growing catalog secure and scalable

Security & patching

Keeping the central GeoNetwork catalog secure and continuously patched as threats evolve.

Staying up to date

Keeping pace with new GeoNetwork releases and performance work as the data landscape grows.

Scaling without IT burden

Scaling the infrastructure for a growing data landscape without adding load on internal IT teams.

[ The solution ]

A familiar environment, fully managed

ECCC transitions to GeoCat Live. Rather than replacing the existing GeoNetwork environment, the focus is on transforming how it is operated and maintained. Updates, security patches, performance optimization, and scaling are managed by GeoCat, while users continue working in a familiar environment without disruption.

[ The approach ]

GeoCat runs it, the team stays in control

Rather than a migration project, the move to GeoCat Live happens around the existing GeoNetwork. New releases are tested and rolled out behind the scenes, security patches are applied as soon as they land, and the environment scales with the catalog — without ECCC opening a ticket or planning a maintenance window. The metadata, the standards and the editorial workflow all stay exactly where the team already knows them.
