Earlier today, Adena posted about Autodesk’s government solutions bundle that includes Map 3D, Raster Design, MapGuide and Google Earth Pro.
From the DLTSolutions (an Autodesk Government Reseller) website, the Autodesk / Google bundle actually looks like a pretty good deal, with the package costing considerably less than the sum of the parts.
What I found really interesting is that Autodesk is positioning the MapGuide Open Source licensing level into their offerings. This is markedly different than other companies that only sell/support the “commercial” version of their open source-based applications, but it makes sense to offer it as an option. This allows organisations to choose the price/functionality level that works best for them.
