Q) What makes your products any more
appealing than those available from other suppliers?
A) Cadcorp products are unique providing
users and developers with many benefits.
Increasing numbers of customers have recognised the advantages of
buying Cadcorp SIS which is why Cadcorp is experiencing strong sustained
growth.
Our customers comment favourably upon things like: world leading OGC
certified conformance, access to over 100 data sources 'out-of-the-box'
without translation, middleware-free access to databases, ease of
use, the breadth of our software offering, ease of development particularly
pre-built assemblies and seamless integration, good customer references
and an attractive price - amongst other things.
There is also the advantage of not needing to learn yet another obscure
proprietary language as Cadcorp supports industry standard Microsoft
and ActiveX development environments (and therefore commonly used
development languages such as .NET, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Powerbuilder
and Delphi).
Add to this the expert support, free stuff, plug-ins, maintenance,
training and consultancy available from Cadcorp and the reasons are
even more compelling.
Talk to us about your specific requirements and you may be pleasantly
surprised.

Q) Can your software interoperate with other
vendors?
A) In a word "yes".
This is for a number of reasons.
One is our leading record in implementing OGC interfaces. If your
software supports OGC interfaces then your software is most likely
to interoperate with ours.
Another significant factor is our support for over 100 data sources.
Chances are we already support the data used by your existing GIS
package in its native form. This means we can happily coexist with
your existing GIS investment and contribute our part of the solution
as and when necessary. Buying Cadcorp isn't necessarily a case of
throwing out your existing investment, rather that of complementing
it.
Q) Can you explain your product name?
A) Our software is the ‘Spatial Information
System’ from Cadcorp, so not surprisingly it is known as ‘Cadcorp
SIS’ for short.
Cadcorp SIS combines the company name and the product name, both of
which are registered trademarks in certain jurisdictions. This also
explains why you see the name sometimes written as "Cadcorp SIS
- Spatial Information System" literally, the spatial information
system from Cadcorp!
Q) How can I see impartial reviews of
your software?
A) Independent reviews appear in the trade
press.
Several recent reviews of Cadcorp SIS have been written both in the
USA and UK. These have been in GeoWorld and GI News magazine and articles
are shown in the Resources section of this website. |

another organisation?
A) Cadcorp supply direct in the UK and through
select partners worldwide.
In the UK Cadcorp supplies Cadcorp SIS products directly to customers.
We also supply our business partners who develop third party applications
that incorporate our GIS know-how into their software products.
In many other countries our products are supplied by distributors

global distributors are provided in the 'Contact us' section of this
website.

Q) Do you offer demonstration disks?
A) Yes we do, on request.
Naturally, we offer literature, case studies and either Cadcorp or
one of our partners can visit you to discuss your wider needs and
demonstrate software. We can also arrange evaluation software subject
to status. |
