Testimonials
"When users experience the level of integration that this capability represents they are simply stunned. ‘WOW!’ is often their first impression. The fact that it (Pictometry integration capability) comes along as a core Essentials component is truly the gift that will keep on giving and will continue to grow in functionality as perhaps more Essential/Pictometry clients get onboard. There are definitely possibilities beyond the current deployment but for now what was once a major headache requiring hours of planning and support is now simply an Essentials configuration."
Bill Shaw, MCAMLIS Project Manager

"We are extremely pleased with all of the standard functionality available out-of-the-box in Geocortex Essentials. The administrator GUI, Geocortex Essentials Manager, helps us a lot in structuring our site management."
Peter van Capelleveen, GIS Manager
Zwolle Municipality, Netherlands
"The off-the-shelf functionality that this gives us is really beyond anything we could do without spending thousands of developer hours."
Chuck Horton, ArcGIS Server Developer

"We have been very happy with the rapid progress that Geocortex has made with the Essentials product. Geocortex Essentials allows us to quickly extend the ArcGIS Server viewer with many customizations that would have required considerable hours of complex application development time for us to accomplish in house. As a longtime ArcIMS product user, we have spent hundreds of hours programming customizations for the ArcIMS interface that users had requested to meet our business processes. With Geocortex Essentials we can now quickly migrate from ArcIMS to ArcGIS Server without a loss of functionality. In fact with the out of box functionality provided as a part of Geocortex Essentials, we were able to quickly surpass nearly all the functionality of our existing ArcIMS applications without writing one piece of custom code. One further feature of Geocortex Essentials, whose versatility is only now becoming evident to us, is the flexibility of the Essentials Framework itself. It’s clear to us, the amount of forethought that went into the design of the Essentials framework to allow one to easily implement customizations from the ESRI user community as well as one’s own customizations. With Geocortex Essentials we are able to save vast amounts of resources from custom programming and instead are able to reallocate this time to designing a polished, robust GIS application that better meets our user’s business practices within a sophisticated web framework."

"Because we can leverage Geocortex Essentials core functionality, it gives us the opportunity to concentrate on building custom functionality for client specific requirements. We didn’t want to waste time re-inventing the wheel when we can purchase it for a fraction of the cost of development."

"Geocortex Essentials has met all my expectations and beyond. I found the Latitude sales staff very cognisant not to promise anything they can’t deliver. I’m excited about their aggressive development schedule and each release has brought some great new features. It makes our investment in Latitude Geographics and Essentials a solid one.
The City does not have any developers on staff however Essentials was very easy to install and the Essentials Manager was a great way to get started with our mapping applications. Latitude’s support staff have been very helpful with any issues we encountered. We also had the opportunity to work with the development team to have some custom applications built. They were on time and on budget!"

"The Geocortex Essentials product has generated a lot of excitement here recently. We have had a home grown public website using older technologies for about four years which could not be updated easily and we now have a very robust solution available to us with Essentials. We are a small GIS shop with limited time to invest in producing custom web solutions and are looking forward to sharing our geospatial assets with the public using this innovative product. Geocortex Essentials will be the framework that we will use to build all our ArcGIS Server applications from in the future. It will provide a common interface for the user and one development and maintenance environment for easier administration."
