Cadcorp SIS Products

SIS stands for Spatial Information System, a generic term which covers the full range of Cadcorp products.

Computer Aided Development Corporation Ltd. (Cadcorp) was founded in 1991. Since then we have been developing a range of Spatial Information Systems. All of our software products are generated from a common pool of C++ objects and share many commands and functionality.

All Cadcorp products conform to OGC interface specifications and are at the cutting edge of GIS functionality and industry standards.
