Pôle Marennes Oléron

What Pôle Marennes Oléron does

Pôle Marennes Oléron is a French public territorial cooperation structure (Pôle d'Équilibre Territorial et Rural, PETR) established in 2006 under French public law. It is constituted by the Communauté de communes de l'Île d'Oléron and the Communauté de communes du Bassin de Marennes and serves 14 communes across the Marennes-Oléron territory in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The entity carries out three institutional mandates: spatial planning through the Schéma de Cohérence Territoriale (SCoT), animation of European funding programs (LEADER for rural development and FEAMP for maritime and fisheries), and operation of a shared Territorial Information Service (SIT) that delivers GIS, address-management and open-data services to local authorities.

The technical platform is the GEO webSIG from Business Geografic (Ciril Group), deployed as a customized instance called GEO Storm PMO. It integrates PostgreSQL as the primary database, FME for ETL and data quality, QGIS for desktop analysis, GeoNetwork for the Datalogue catalog and metadata, and OpenStreetMap for base cartography. The product surface includes the GEO application portal, GEO Cadastre for parcel consultation, GEO Adresse for Base Adresse Locale certification, an offline-capable mobile app for eco-guards in natural spaces, and an Open Data Datalogue of 399 datasets spanning planning, cadastre, environment, biota, agriculture, transportation and economy. The platform serves over 200 users across 18+ local authorities and exposes a GeoNetwork-based REST API.

The organization operates as a non-commercial public entity funded through European program allocations, regional council subsidies and member-commune contributions, with no commercial pricing model and no disclosed revenue or budget figures. Strategic partnerships anchor the technology and ecosystem: Business Geografic (Ciril Group) as core technology provider since the 2013 procurement, the GEO17/SOLURIS departmental GIS cooperative since 1999, the Pigma regional geospatial platform for LEADER/FEAMP data publication, and operational alliances with SDEER17, GIP Littoral Aquitain and CPIE IODDE for data exchange. The unanimous approval of SCoT 2 on 5 July 2024 and ongoing Open Data initiatives (including Challenge Data 2022 with ANCT and SciencesPo Saint Germain en Laye) reflect a continuing institutional deepening of its digital public service mandate rather than commercial expansion.

Core offering

Pôle Marennes Oléron is a public intercommunal structure (PETR) that delivers shared geographic information system (GEO/GIS) services, open data publication (DataMarennes), and territorial engineering to its member communes and EPCIs around the Marennes Oléron basin. It pilots the SCoT (Schéma de Cohérence Territoriale) urban-planning document for the territory and acts as the local manager of the LEADER European rural-development funding program. Its core output is therefore shared public-sector services and territorial planning deliverables rather than commercial products.

Product overview

Pôle Marennes Oléron operates as a public territorial structure providing three core services: territorial information systems (webSIG), spatial planning (SCoT management), and European funding program animation. The primary technology platform is GEO by Business Geografic, customized as GEO STORM PMO, which powers all cartographic applications including GEO Cadastre (cadastral data), GEO Adresse (address management), and mobile field applications. The organization maintains an Open Data portal (Datalogue) with nearly 400 datasets covering planning, environment, agriculture, transportation, and territorial statistics. Services include SCoT management and European funding programs (LEADER, FEAMP).

Regional players

• GéoBretagne: Regional mutualized GIS platform in Brittany serving multiple public authorities and EPCI/PETR members. Comparable to Pôle Marennes Oléron's approach of consolidating territorial data and cartographic services for shared use across communes and intercommunities.
• Pigma: The Nouvelle-Aquitaine regional geospatial data platform; existing partner of Pôle Marennes Oléron for publishing FEAMP and LEADER data. Comparable as a public-sector mutualized GIS infrastructure serving multiple territories within a region.

Direct peers

• PETR du Pays de Brest: A French Pôle d'Équilibre Territorial et Rural in Finistère (Brittany) operating under the same public-territorial structure and mutualized-services model as Pôle Marennes Oléron, including SCoT management and shared territorial services to member communes.
• SOLURIS (Géo17): Departmental SIG cooperative for Charente-Maritime (formerly SI17) and longstanding partner of Pôle Marennes Oléron since 1999. Operates as a departmental-level mutualized GIS service provider with a closely aligned public-territory mandate.

Others

• ANCT (Agence Nationale de la Cohésion des Territoires): France's national agency for territorial cohesion and a partner in Challenge Data 2022. Sets the policy framework, funding programs (LEADER, etc.), and digital-territorial guidance that shape PETR operations, making it a relevant ecosystem peer rather than a direct competitor.
