Several weeks ago we soft-launched something we’d been developing for the past six months. Mapfluence is a hosted geoservices platform, effectively allowing anyone to tap into the power of an on-demand map platform. At its core, Mapfluence performs two very powerful things:

• Aggregates data of all stripes (public and proprietary) and makes it available through a data catalog
• Provides access to data with robust visualization and analytic APIs

This means time spent identifying, sourcing, negotiating, understanding, loading and maintaining data are no more. We do it so you don’t have to. The platform is built in the cloud–load-balanced, fault tolerant, scalable and with high uptime. This means enterprise customers can be assured of reliability. Mapfluence can tie into your existing mapping platform, you can use our custom map tiles or integrate with a business intelligence or home-grown application. Because the platform was designed for the web, applications can easily be developed using JavaScript and pushing a new era of geo-intelligence into the browser!
