The problem

Research and campus data deserve their own platform

Universities, schools and research groups need to serve spatial data and teach with it — without per-seat cloud fees or sending research data off-site.

What you get

An education & research suite

A sovereign, self-hosted GIS backend for teaching, research and mission work — with uncapped users, so you can share widely without per-seat licensing.

Campus Operations

Buildings, assets, space and safety on one campus map.

Research Data Serving

Publish research spatial data as ArcGIS-compatible services for analysis and sharing.

Teaching & Open Science

A self-hosted GIS backend for courses and open-science data — no per-seat fees.

Student & Field Projects

A sovereign platform for student field data and capstone projects.

Social Science & Community

Demographic and social-science mapping over your own datasets.

Nonprofit & NGO Mission

Communicate the cause, understand the community and measure impact.

Runs on your stack

Runs on Strata, or on your existing Esri services

Serve your data through Strata, or read your existing ArcGIS REST services unchanged. A sovereign, self-hosted GIS backend for teaching and research — build your own apps on it, with uncapped users. Keep your Esri licenses.

Self-hosted & uncapped users

Runs on your own infrastructure with no per-viewer fees and uncapped users — ideal for campuses and research groups that need to share widely without per-seat licensing.

Honest boundaries

Naming what this doesn't do yet is what makes where it wins believable.

A backend, not an LMS

It's a spatial data backend for courses and research — not a learning-management or survey platform.

Serving is read-only today

Publish and explore data now; editing and collection come with a later release.

Delivered + supported

We stand it up, customize it with AI on your data and jurisdiction, load your first layers, and support it — delivery, license and annual support on Strata Team or Unlimited.

Complete spatial platform

Serve your data. Then talk to it.

Strata serves your spatial data over the ArcGIS REST protocol, then lets anyone explore it in plain language — on-prem and sovereign, at a fraction of Enterprise cost. Keep your Esri licenses.
