Commercial support for mapserver / "resellers"

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

the recently published book by Tyler Mitchel, Web Mapping Illustrated using Open Source GIS Toolkits, contains a list of companies who offer support for Mapserver on page 58.

Tyler, are you allowed to publish this list on the user list???

Ofcourse, there are different levels of support. Advanced user support, or support where things have to be bugfixed or even enhancements to the source code. With the latter category, the developers who work on the source code daily will be the best and the fastest.

I have been using Mapserver in GIS projects in Netherlands for the last 3 years and have been more than satisfied with it, and also with the commercial support available.

Best regards,
Bart

Hello list,

We, our company,  noticed that in comparisions for geographical viewers,
mapserver is not mentioned in the list of products.
We  think that mapserver could also be used in situations where now
commercial sollutions are chosen, and sometimes mapserver would even be
a better choise.

Is there a list of companies which offer support based upon country
(resellers)?
Are there any promotional materials (targetgroup: managers)?

More important, what is the overall opinion about this(being commercial
with mapserver)?
