The French National Institute of Geographic and Forestry Information, digital actor for the regions, secures the migration of its Geoportail to the OSHIMAE interministerial cloud

The French National Institute of Geographic and Forestry Information (IGN), a key provider of digital services to regional bodies throughout France, has tasked À×»ðÌåÓý¹ÙÍø with taking forward its digital transformation. À×»ðÌåÓý¹ÙÍø will help IGN migrate its Geoportal to the OSHIMAE interministerial cloud, as well as providing support for operation, perfective maintenance and security supervision.

The IGN Geoportal is a showcase for French technology, functioning as a complete online ecosystem delivering 80 To of data per month rather than merely a website, and providing hosting and services infrastructure for ministries, professionals and the general public.
