• A Senior GIS Systems Analyst and Developer is needed to upgrade Geocortex based GIS applications to the new VertiGIS platform.
  <\/span><\/li>\n
• The Land and Resources I&IT Cluster (LRC), in partnership with the Ministries of Natural Resources, Energy and Mines; Environment, Conservation, and Parks; Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness; and Indigenous Affairs and First Nations Economic Reconciliation is undertaking a multi\-year effort to upgrade up to 18 business\-critical geospatial applications hosted on the GIS Delivery Platform (GDP).
  <\/span><\/li>\n
• This initiative is driven by the need to upgrade Geocortex\-based applications, which rely on deprecated middleware and infrastructure, to the current Geocortex vendor release version, the fully supported, next\-generation VertiGIS platform. The project will deliver like\-for\-like upgrades of up to 18 existing Geocortex applications, preserving current functionality while upgrading the underlying technology and application codebase. This work will ensure continued alignment with GO\-ITS standards and service delivery requirements, maintain vendor support, and mitigate risks associated with unsupported systems, including security vulnerabilities, system instability, performance degradation, and potential reputational impacts.
  <\/span><\/li>\n
• The upgraded VertiGIS applications will provide improved integration with modern GIS capabilities, including enterprise data, geoprocessing services, and portal technologies. This enhanced compatibility will enable future modernization opportunities and improved data management efficiencies. In addition, the upgrades will address existing functionality and performance issues, support Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliance, and deliver an overall improved user experience.
