Need a refresher on the VertiGIS Studio/Geocortex product rename?
It’s been nearly one year since we renamed our Geocortex product suite to be known as VertiGIS Studio. In that time, we’ve accomplished a lot with our community of customers, partners, and employees. Are you looking for a refresher on why we renamed Geocortex and what that means for you? Review some common FAQs below!
Why did we change the name?
The Geocortex journey began in 1999 with the goal of helping people accomplish more with their Esri ArcGIS® technology. While this goal has remained the same, how we help you get there has changed as new technologies and deployment patterns have emerged.
In 2017 we introduced the Geocortex 5-series – a family of standalone capability products and viewers representing the next step in our technology evolution. For the first time, product functionality was “un-bundled” for easier use and capabilities could be deployed within Esri’s viewers. Their modular nature has created a studio of products that you can mix and match to build the applications your end-users need, while avoiding costly custom development. In 2019, we joined VertiGIS, a global organization looking to empower users across industries with market-leading GIS solutions. With its robust and flexible framework, the Geocortex 5-series served as the foundation for the development of VertiGIS’ industry-specific solutions.
Today, our journey has brought us to the place where we are ready to select a name that better reflects our technology growth and vision for the future and captures the creative spirit Geocortex products offer. Our product themselves are you same ones you always know and loved, now with a new, more appropriate name! The Geocortex products are still offered as “VertiGIS Studio” - a standalone suite of products that can help you build your own custom applications.

Why VertiGIS Studio?
The word “VertiGIS” connects the product suite to our global team, and our focus on empowering customers like you with GIS technology that solves real world problems. The word “Studio” evokes the ideas of creativity and flexibility – two attributes we see time and time again in the way our customers leverage our products to create applications that are uniquely tailored to meet their specific requirements.

Which products were renamed?
All of the Geocortex 5-series products now bear the VertiGIS Studio name (i.e., Geocortex Workflow became VertiGIS Studio Workflow, Geocortex Reporting became VertiGIS Studio Reporting, etc.).
Geocortex Essentials was not included in the name change but will continue to receive support and maintenance for the time being.
