Geographic Information and Decision Support Systems

Faunalia can assist you in every phase of the analysis, design and implementation of a Geographic Information System and a Geographic Decision Support System. We can also convert your data, and reproject them (both raster and vector) in the projection you use.
We are registered as Service providers for OSGeo.
