GeoSolutions is a core contributor to GeoNode, GeoServer, GeoTools, GeoWebCache and MapStore. This session shows, through concrete examples, how our client-first enterprise services — support, training, and custom development — consistently strengthen open source software.
GeoSolutions is a core contributor to GeoNode, GeoServer, GeoTools, GeoWebCache and MapStore, and builds its business on solid enterprise foundations: Enterprise Support, Subscription Services, Professional Training, and Bespoke Solutions. We'll show how most engagements produce improvements we share with the community, while supporting customers in their specific needs. This session walks through short, concrete examples drawn from earth observation data infrastructures, precision farming platforms, and large-scale public sector deployments, showing how a pragmatic, client-first approach can coexist with — and consistently strengthen — open source software.
