For many years we have been automating and solving data quality problems for a range of international customers helping them get more value from their quality-assured data. So why stop there? Surely it makes sense to look at how else customers can be helped to get more value out of the data and their investments in the GIS technology that consumes, distributes and presents that data? Enter....Geocortex.
OK, I’ll expand a little....
I started my career 20 years ago this autumn at Esri UK. Well, ‘Doric’ as it was then. ArcInfo 5, if I recall. (Yes, I was very young). Since then, Esri has continued to dominate many aspects of the GI software sector. So, it comes as no surprise that many of those we help solve data problems for are then publishing that data into web-GIS applications built on Esri technology, ArcGIS Server to be specific, and very 2011 about it. So, to mark my 20th anniversary of joining the Esri world, 1Spatial has very kindly decided that it will expand its support for the ArcGIS Server community, by offering the finest tried-and-tested tool there is for getting the best out of ArcGIS Server – Geocortex Essentials.
Yes, we’ve become the UK and Ireland distributor for what Esri itself obviously sees as a clearly useful, complimentary toolkit for ArcGIS Server - it has elevated the software team behind Geocortex to become an Esri Platinum Partner.
Geocortex Essentials hugely reduces the amount of grunt work (development) you have to do and, instead, gives you a far more efficient approach to application development by providing a huge range of pre-built (and tried and tested!) capabilities out of the box. Oh, and a focus on configuration instead of development. Not to exclude custom coding, of course, but let’s face it – who wouldn’t want to be able to publish applications on top of ArcGIS Server faster, better and with lower risk? I for one would want to spend less money and time by simply configuring web-GIS sites using an authoring tool and a load of pre-built functions, buttons, widgets, workflows and all sorts of other exciting “geo-thingies”.
We will be attending AGI, so if you are there and want to find out more, please get in touch via geocortex@1spatial.com . We will also be running a series of webinars in the next few months, so watch out for more information!
As you might guess, this is very exciting stuff. Go on – ask me about Silverlight!

Good move 1Spatial. I've looked at Geocortex Essentials on a number of occasions and seen it alter. It's an obvious space - ESRI provide the parts - the steering wheel, and engine and such - to create proper web-based applications, but they don't provide the body! To get a leg-up to something that's as close to out-the-box as possible, Essentials is a very quick way of doing it. I think until now it meant a relationship with the company in Canada, so having a UK supplier should make it a good shortcut step for those organisations that want decent web mapping done quickly.
ReplyDeleteEchoing Stu’s comments, our team is excited about having 1Spatial’s expertise representing us on the ground in the UK and Ireland. We’re very optimistic that we’ve found the right organization, to introduce and support the value of Geocortex Essentials to ArcGIS Server users on “your side of the pond”.
