Ocellus Develops the Skills of the Future
Ocellus uses Icebound’s solutions—AddSpatial GIS, ProLocate, and Icebound Maps—to give its GIS training programs a stronger connection to the professional world. Through this collaboration, the courses have been expanded to include modern tools, real-world client case studies, and industry expertise. This partnership better prepares students for their LIA and future careers.
Here is an interview with Andrei and Erik Escalier, who both represent Ocellus…
How did you come to collaborate with us at Icebound?
“Ocellus has long collaborated with Icebound—formerly Cartesia—in the areas of geographic information systems and geodata. This made Icebound a natural partner when we saw a need to expand our training programs to include more modern GIS platforms, mobile system solutions, mapping services, and business-oriented tools used by employers in the industry.”
“The goal of this collaboration is to build on a long-standing relationship, strengthen the connection between the educational programs and the professional world, and give students a better understanding of how geodata is used in practice, particularly in key Swedish industries such as forestry, mining, energy, and the public sector.”
“We are very pleased with our collaboration with Icebound. Their expertise, dedication, and robust geodata solutions have been extremely valuable to Ocellus and have strengthened our educational programs. For us, this partnership is strategically important because it broadens students’ understanding of how geodata is used in the professional world, particularly in Sweden’s core industries such as forestry, mining, energy, and the public sector. This provides our students with clear added value and better opportunities to become competitive in the job market after graduation.”

For Ocellus, this partnership means we can offer training that is more closely aligned with real-world practice, where students see concrete examples from industries where geodata is used in practice, including forestry, mining, energy, and the public sector.

It’s clear that they are driven by a genuine commitment to technology, people, and the development of talent.
