Enterprise web services and mashups

If you are developing a web site or a new online service and you would like to integrate geographic information, we can provide a custom web service that you can easily integrate, or mash-up into your site. When we develop a custom web service, we design it using unobtrusive Javascript and Ajax. You don't need to be an expert in GIS to program our web services.

Our GIS web services can provide many different geographic functions including custom thematic map creation, selection of database records by location, geocoding, reverse geocoding, geo-tagging, and reporting Census demographic or legislative district information by location.

We support creating APIs in a variety of formats, including REST, SOAP, JSON, RSS, or your own custom XML. We can provide example code in a variety of server-side languages including PHP and ASP.NET (VB.NET and C#).

On the client-side, we integrate our Javascript library with jQuery, Dojo, and the Google map API.

We can host the web service for you or deliver a web service platform that you can host on your own servers, either Windows or Linux.

Web applications

Caliper provides turnkey geographic web application development services, including map user interface design, client-side programming using unobtrusive Javascript and server-side programming in PHP or ASP.NET (VB.NET and C#).

We support Linux and Windows web server platforms, and we can either host your application on our servers or provide you with an application that you can host on your own.

Enterprise desktop applications

Caliper provides enterprise add-ins and extensions to our core desktop GIS applications, TransCAD, Maptitude, and TransModeler. These desktop applications can include custom thematic mapping, redistricting and geographic editing following complex business rules, market analysis, transportation planning and modeling, political mapping, and custom geographic reports.
