Placebase Professional Services
Placebase Professional Services has been developing custom geospatial Web applications since 2001. We and our partners use our modular application development platform, Pushpin™ to develop rich mapping applications, which operate as services hosted either by the client or by Placebase. Maps are viewable in standard browsers without the need for any plug-ins whatsoever.
 
Expertise
Placebase combines expertise in web-based and GIS technologies.
Community Indicator Systems
Placebase builds online information systems for community-based organizations. We have built very advanced interactive applications that use maps, charts and reports to describe social conditions in local communities.
Turnkey Developers or Development Partners
Placebase Professional Services recognizes that there are two kinds of clients who are interested in custom mapping development. The first simply needs their specifications met and prefers a turnkey engagement with experienced professionals who can work independently. The second needs to engage their own developers in tandem with outside mapping specialists. Our Professional Services Team is experienced with both types of customers and is eager to take on both types of engagements.
 
Custom Cartography for Draggable Maps
Placebase master cartographers are specialists in draggable maps, so-called because they slide smoothly in response to “dragging” with a mouse. Placebase creates these maps with its specialized render farm, Rendermap. Far from a mere cosmetic advance, draggable maps are an immediately noticeable productivity improvement vis-à-vis alternatives. Clients can get draggable maps made to their own specifications, using their own mapping data or high-quality mapping data available from Placebase.
