PostGIS & Enterprise GIS
Build a reliable foundation for your spatial data
PostGIS gives you a powerful, open source spatial database built on PostgreSQL. We help organisations bring their open source GIS technologies together into a connected environment, with PostGIS providing a reliable foundation for spatial data across teams, applications and workflows.
You might be ...
→ Managing too many copies of your data
Your spatial data is spread across files, folders and different systems, making it difficult to know which version is the right one.
→ Working with a growing team
More people and more projects mean you need a shared data store that keeps everyone working from the same source.
→ Connecting different systems
Your spatial data needs to be used by QGIS, web applications, field tools, reporting systems or other applications.
→ Needing more control over your data
You need to control who can see or change different datasets, while keeping your data consistent and secure.
→ Bringing different data together
You have data coming from multiple sources and need to organise it, connect related information and make it useful in one place.
→ Building an authoritative data store
You want a reliable central source of spatial data that your organisation and its applications can work from.
How we can help
Design your spatial database
We design PostGIS databases around your data, workflows, and the systems that need to use them.Organise and structure your data
Create a clear, logical data model that makes spatial information easier to manage, maintain and work with.Keep data consistent and reliable
Use database constraints, relationships and validation to protect data integrity and reduce errors.Manage access and permissions
Set fine-grained permissions so different teams, users and applications can access the data they need.Connect your systems
Connect QGIS, web applications, field tools and other systems to a shared spatial database, reducing duplication and keeping information connected.Bring data together
Integrate information from different sources and create relationships between datasets so you can work with your data as a whole.
PostGIS and QGIS
PostGIS works particularly well with QGIS, giving your desktop GIS a powerful central data store that can also be used by other applications.
Did you know?
QGIS began it's life in 2002 as a project to create a viewer for PostGIS data.
