Martin Daly, technical director, Cadcorp and well known OpenGIS figure stated: "Our work is about opening up access to disparate data on disparate systems, and the new Cadcorp SIS Map Browser is a risk-free way for users to experience the benefits of OpenGIS Web services and indeed Cadcorp SIS - Spatial Information System".
