The Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography in Poland (GUGiK) is implementing an Esri-based solution to support compliance with the European Union’s Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) Directive. The directive sets out a framework and timetable for implementing a pan-European spatial data infrastructure (SDI) to address multinational and multi-agency issues.

GeoPortal2 includes Esri’s ArcGIS for INSPIRE product aswell as software from Esri business partner con terra GmbH. The project isbeing implemented by Esri distributor ESRI Polska sp. z o.o.; Esri partnerGISPartner; and the largest IT company in the country, Asseco Poland SA.
