The document introduces the INSPIRE program from Boundless, an open source geospatial software company. It summarizes that INSPIRE is a complete geospatial platform built on powerful open source software like PostGIS, GeoServer, OpenLayers, and QGIS. It reduces costs compared to proprietary software by leveraging open standards and can replace software like ArcGIS Server. Boundless provides the platform with commercial support services including training, consultancy, implementation, and support.
