Services and Training
Consultancy, training and support on GeoCat software and the open source stack behind it.
[ Services and Training ]
The people who wrote it, helping you run it.
GeoCat supports governments and organisations in building and maintaining their Spatial Data Infrastructure, on international standards and proven open source software. Our developers lead the GeoNetwork and GeoServer projects and sit on the committees that write the standards, so the advice comes from the people who maintain the code.
[ What we offer ]
Expertise, not just software
From plan to production
We help shape the infrastructure before it is built: which standards apply, how catalogue and services fit together, how it connects to the systems you already run, and what your organisation needs to keep it going afterwards.
Your team, self-sufficient
Training is built around what your team actually works with, at your location anywhere in the world or at our office in the Netherlands. Individuals can occasionally join a scheduled session, and we give free workshops at OSGeo events.
Answers when it matters
Professional support on services, software and solutions. If you have questions or run into issues, our technical support team is there to resolve them quickly, through the support desk and your dedicated contacts.
Committed to the projects you depend on
Our developers lead the development of the open software, standards and directives we advise on. What we build for one customer flows back into GeoNetwork and GeoServer, so the next organisation inherits it.
