To run GIFrameworkMaps with minimal modification, you will need.
- A web server capable of running .NET applications, such as IIS, Kestral or Azure

GIFrameworkMaps is a Dorset Council project and has been built according to our particular needs. Whilst we believe the project can be easily used and adapted by others, and is fairly flexible, there are other alternatives out there that may fit your needs better.
Check out the OSGeo website for other alternatives that may be better suited to your needs.
GIFrameworkMaps would not be possible without the open source community. This is just a small list of our favourite open source projects and organisations that have helped us.
