We are pleased to announce that acugis.com has been acquired by MapFig, Inc.

Firstly, we want to assure all clients that all packages and pricing will remain in place.

There will be no changes or alterations to your terms, services, conditions or fees.

The founders of MapFig, Inc are the original team that created AcuGIS in 2011 when it was launched by Enciva, LLC.

The acquisition will bring with it an array of tools and services for AcuGIS clients, as well as early access to new tools and services.

There will also be an increased emphasis on support, guides, articles and tutorials to assist clients in getting the most of their services.

In order to provide proper attention and focus to AcuGIS, MapFig, Inc will be open sourcing a number of it’s products to the GIS community.

Several new services, such as QGIS, DSpace, and VPS/VM services will also become available.

Finally, there will be an increased level of security we began to implement the previous week.

As a global provider, acugis.com will continue to adhere to the US/EU Safe Harbor and all other existing commitments.

MapFig, Ltd (our United Kingdom office), will also participate in and adhere to all existing commitments.

We look forward to providing all AcuGIS clients with the best possible support, tools, and services possible.

PostGIS SQL Mapping

PostGIS SQL Maps

We are looking for clients to beta our new PostGIS mapping application.

The application allows you to create Leaflet maps via PostGIS queries.

It also allows you to add multiple layers to maps as well as style layers and markers.

If you are familiar with PostGIS SQL and would like to try the application, please email david@acugis.com

Beta users will be asked to provide feedback and will be provided with the application for continued use.

Leaflet Studio

We will be adding an updated shared leaflet studio for AcuGIS clients.

The current studios at https://studio.acugis.com and https://omeka.acugis.com will continue to run for those that are using them.

The current commercial version, which you can view (and use) at https://studio.mapfig.com, includes a number of feature enhancements, updated marker set, and new UI.

This same version will be made available to all AcuGIS clients at https://leaflet.acugis.com later in the week.
