GeometryFactory offers maintenance and support contracts, software development, consulting and training.
Maintenance and Support
Maintenance and Support contracts allow to upgrade to the latest release of the CGAL components for which you hold a commercial license. It offers you a privileged communication channel to get answers to your technical questions, as well as bug-fixes for your CGAL components.
The costs of a maintenance and support contract for one year are twenty percent of the component prices.
Development
You can externalize the development of geometric algorithms and data structures which are not yet in the CGAL library. We develop either exclusively for you, exclusively for you for a fixed period of time, or non-exclusively, in which case we integrate it in the CGAL library.
Customer projects are hosted at codebase, where we offer git, mercurial, or subversion for version management.
Consulting
In consulting projects, we first work towards understanding the business problem you want to solve. We then bring in our expertise to advise you which CGAL components you might use, or which geometric algorithm we might develop for you.
Working with a global network of academic partners, GeometryFactory provides best practices and top-level expertise in geometric computing, even beyond existing solutions which are part of CGAL.
Training
On site training courses help you to become productively quickly with CGAL, and optimize operations by transforming the way your developers use CGAL.
- Getting started with CGAL
- Generic programming
- Exact computation for efficiency and robustness
- How to use a specific packages
Our experience shows that three days of training, plus a day of consulting on how to use CGAL in the customer project are a good starting point.
