Expand into analytics, map delivery, and 3D
The Geospatial Data Proxy is stronger than a simple connector story. It can support the richer workflows that make modernization compelling to practitioners and sponsors alike.
Why it matters
Show the platform ceiling early
- File and catalog access get the conversation started.
- Analytics, map styling, and 3D workflows prove the platform can grow with the buyer.
- Advanced workflows create a stronger second chapter after the initial pilot succeeds.
“Start with access. Then show the advanced workflow that makes the platform hard to replace.”
Advanced workflow surfaces
These routes make the product feel like a platform rather than a one-off proxy.
Raster
/api/raster/*
Support imagery and raster-driven workflows that need rich endpoint access beyond static file delivery.
Point cloud
/api/pointcloud/*
Expose point-cloud-oriented access patterns for LiDAR and advanced geospatial consumption.
3D scenes
/i3s/*
Serve scene content for 3D applications from the same broader delivery platform.
Map presentation
/styles/*
Deliver style documents, sprites, and glyphs for browser-based map experiences and client integration.
Best-fit use cases
Where this narrative resonates
- Imagery teams that need richer raster access and derivative outputs
- Engineering and infrastructure groups using point clouds and 3D scenes
- Product teams building polished browser map experiences with tiles and styles
- Buyers who need to see a credible expansion path beyond simple data access
Talk track
Message for demos and sales calls
The Geospatial Data Proxy does not stop at file and catalog access. It also gives teams a path into richer raster, point-cloud, style, and 3D workflows from the same service boundary, which means one deployment can support several higher-value geospatial products.
Expansion motion
Use this sequence after the first pilot win.
- Prove access and interoperability with files, catalogs, or feature endpoints.
- Add one advanced workflow aligned to the strongest user pain: raster, point cloud, 3D, or styled browser delivery.
- Use that second workflow to justify rollout expansion and long-term platform adoption.
