Why ownMap
Built for campuses, not adapted afterwards
Born on a campus
ownMap was designed and tested at universities in Paris before expanding to other institutions. You won’t be our first experience with a multi-building university campus.
Multi-site, one single tool
One campus, several buildings, sometimes several sites: ownMap centralises indoor and outdoor wayfinding across all your locations, with accessible routes built in.
Connected to what you already use
ownMap connects to the tools you already use (ADE, Hyperplanning, your institution’s mobile app) — already live with our university clients.
ownMap is listed with the Groupe Logiciel (GL-ESR), the unit of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research that negotiates pricing agreements for higher-education and research institutions. Going through this agreement gives your institution preferential pricing and a turnkey service, with guaranteed compliance with higher-education requirements. Discover the GL-ESR agreement →
