Your Own
CKAN

We install and deploy a basic (out-of-the-box) CKAN instance 
on your own infrastructure/preferred cloud provider, including 
3 plugins of your choice.

Why CKAN?

CKAN is the world's leading open source data management system (DMS). It makes it easy to publish, share and discover data. CKAN is used by national and regional government organisations throughout the European Union, the Americas, Asia and Oceania to power a variety of official and community data portals. It has also been adopted by enterprise organisations in sectors such as resources, energy, pharmaceuticals and finance.

Step by Step

Typically, the installation of a CKAN instance is a 3-phase project, during which we will work closely with you:

1. Analyse your technology infrastructure to choose the best place and way to deploy your CKAN instance.
2. Install a CKAN instance and define your basic operational requirements.
3. Define your data strategy and start sharing your data.

One of the principles of Open Knowledge is sustainability, so we will never make you dependent on us. We want to make sure that your project is sustainable over the years, i.e. that you understand what you have at hand at the moment and what the next steps are for adopting an open infrastructure. For this reason, we recommend that you combine this service with the following offerings.
