SME's opting GIS open source technologies for software production

Chennai: At no time in the history of GIS has open source been more popular or more talked about. As the recovery of Indian economy depends on the recovery of the US or global economy, the small and middle segment IT companies in Indian has started looking out for cheaper technologies to develop applications.

Especially, the GIS with open source is a flourshing market in the Indian economy says a senior business develoment manager from chennai based GIS organisation, KCUBE consultancy pvt. ltd.

"Make no mistake, open source software is here to stay...and its popularity is growing tremendously each year. While Kcube was a pioneer in adopting open source, it is likely that others will follow suit in the years to come. We welcome them to the party, and hope that their contributions only enhance the industry further".


Kcube views software technology as merely a means to an end. We do not see GIS software as the most important component of a GIS program, but rather as one of several necessary components that a successful program is built on. Therefore, it makes sense to us that we should consider all software options on behalf of our clients, not just the most popular ones, in order to build the most appropriate GIS for their use.


Regardless of verticals and industries GIS open source is intensively used everywhere. Forestry, Environment, Land management system, E-Governance and Urban planning demands for open source techniques in the GIS market. It was reported that it cuts business cost by atleast 40% and completely eliminates the software cost.
