Interesting MapGuide Open Source bundling strategy


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.
