Read the case studyA portal you own, on your terms.
Open source and standards-based, migrated for you, hosted where your rules allow.
See your portal before you commit
A working prototype built from your own catalogue, so you judge PortalJS on your data, not a sales deck.
Open source, no lock-in
PortalJS (MIT) and CKAN are open source. Your code, data and metadata stay yours, whoever hosts them.
Migrate from Socrata, OpenDataSoft or ArcGIS Hub
We move your datasets, metadata and files across, as we did taking Santa Monica off Socrata and Hounslow off self-run CKAN.
Standards your national portal can harvest
DCAT, DCAT-AP or DCAT-US catalogue feeds, so national and EU portals can harvest your datasets.
Hosting that fits your rules
Managed by Datopian, on a dedicated environment, or on your own cloud. UAE MOEI runs on the ministry’s own Azure.
Built for the public
Search, previews, charts and APIs for citizens and developers. Multilingual, right-to-left included.
