K2 Geospatial

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


K2 Geospatial, formerly KHEOPS Technologies, is a Canadian company that was established in Québec City in 1995. K2 designs and develops software solutions leveraging geospatial technology. The company is committed to bringing spatial analysis data and tools within everyone’s reach. By developing its software solutions, K2 provides effective visual aids to decision makers from companies of varying sizes. The company is based in the city of Montréal, in the Canadian province of Quebec.

Products and Services[edit]

K2 Geospatial offers an integrated range of data management products and services. The company’s software solutions are destined to making spatial information and its analysis tools accessible to everyone. JMap, K2’s flagship technology, allows users to access, analyze and share all of their data through a single platform. In other words, this map-based integration platform eliminates the issue of siloed data connections and systems. These data sets are then connected to create fully integrated IT ecosystems. 9 JMap is also the only map-based integration platform that can connect to any system or data source without disrupting what is already in place..[1], thus removing any interoperability issues. JMap is widely used in many professional and academic fields[2]. Every day, hundreds of employees and citizens from various walks of life use JMap to access their spatial and non-spatial data in order to improve their operational and strategic decisions[3].

Available in three languages (French, English, and Spanish), the platform is also offered in three versions (JMap Pro, JMap Mobile, and JMap Web), which adapt to the needs of all types of users. Each version of JMap performs the same three key functions: connecting various systems together, consolidating a variety of information, and publishing data to improve real-time decision-making[4]. With the widespread development of mobile applications, the information shared on the various versions of JMap has been made available in real time and in non-real time on all types of devices. Lastly, in February 2017, K2 announced a new version of its technology, JMap 7. More powerful, robust and interoperable than ever before, this seventh version of JMap provides decision makers, analysts and users with additional tools to improve their decisions and actions in real time[5].

K2 Geospatial’s team also offers comprehensive services to help organizations implement powerful solutions geared towards optimizing and simplifying their decisions. The company provides consultation and development services adapted to its clients’ specific needs. K2 also offers managed administration services and training courses on the various aspects of the JMap platform[6]. 

JMap User Community[edit]

K2 Geospatial gives conferences destined to JMap users, K2 Geospatial partners, and any people interested in the JMap map-based integration platform and its use within organizations[7]. These events offer participants an opportunity to learn more about the many possibilities and applications of JMap. K2 has also been offering JMap Users Conferences for over a decade[8]. Over the years, these conferences have taken place in a variety of innovative, exciting and knowledge-rich venues, such as the Centre for Sustainable Development, the Montreal Biosphere[9] and Mines ParisTech. JMap Users Conferences allow participants to improve their knowledge through technical workshops and to network with the community of JMap users, administrators and developers[10].
