7 Powers
Territory Management
Any territory represents an overlay of data – about the environment,
about resources and their regeneration capacity, about
critical infrastructure, about housing, about services, etc.,
and knowing these and the ability to manage them are
essential for efficient management.
Territory management therefore means control over
data, with the help of appropriate technological tools.
Geographic Information System (GIS) allows the collection,
management, and analysis of data in real-time. With the help of
GIS, territories can be analyzed and information layers can be
organized in visualizations, using 3D maps. Therefore, GIS
enables deep understanding of data and implicitly of
territory, involving models, situations, relationships and helps
organizations make smart decisions, model solutions and
build a better future.
One of the acute problems in Romania is the lack of basic data
related to critical infrastructure and the absence of adequate tools
for collecting and managing them.
We have specialists and cutting-edge technology that allow us to create
geospatial data and digitize existing data in geospatial format,
according to the European Inspire standard. We are partners with
Esri – the world pioneer in GIS technology. We map GIS
infrastructure networks, transform them into geospatial data,
create and deliver turnkey integrated systems and digital
work tools, easy to use and configure, ensuring
organizations have real territory management capacity.
Efficient Governance
Sustainable development and lasting prosperity are both societal needs and
major desiderata for public authorities, with real chances of being fulfilled when
the administration has the resources and tools that give it power in its primary role,
that of governor.
Governance requires knowledge, understanding, vision.
But also implementation and management capacity, for which geospatial technology
is today a must-have.
Geospatial technology is equally a necessity and a tool, because it enables
multidisciplinary knowledge and understanding. And when knowledge and understanding precede
actions, authorities' decisions truly respond to society's needs.
With better knowledge and control over every aspect of development, public
authorities have the ability to find a balance between resources, constraints, risk and benefits and
to make the right decisions.
The problems that we know limit the effective governance capacity of public administration
in Romania are its insular structure, the acute lack of territorial data, the deficit
of specialized human resources, old, unconnected IT systems with reduced functionalities,
lack of information technologies, data management systems and digital
tools necessary for substantiating public policies and their operational implementation.
We have the know-how and technical capacity to facilitate multidisciplinary knowledge,
interconnection, efficient resource control, and informed decision-making
for authorities.
Urban Planning in Control
The capacity for responsible planning of a city's or area's development is essential
for efficient governance. And planning requires key information, nuanced and constantly
updated.
Population grows and spreads, urban settlements are in a continuous process of
transformation, and the ability to collect and analyze vast amounts of data regarding
housing, mobility and service needs, to correlate them with financial information and
to simulate optimal solutions (building new neighborhoods, technical-utility networks, education
and health services, transport infrastructure, cultural alternatives) is crucial for
sustainable urban planning.
Mapping and managing this data in GIS brings better understanding, in all
aspects, of a city's needs, allowing development strategies that best respond to them.
Also, the ability to run a variety of queries and analyses helps authorities and
experts identify opportunities for optimal resource use.
Romania of the last 30 years has experienced uncontrolled urbanization and chaotic development,
especially in metropolitan areas. The lack of any housing policies, decisional incoherence,
unavailability of utility networks in areas that urbanized very quickly are just
some of the aspects that have made many cities become less functional or, in
some cases, completely dysfunctional.
We come with a different attitude towards urbanism, bringing to the forefront the importance of
global development, sustainability, and quality of life. We work with the best experts.
We are the only company in Romania that develops General Urban Plans in GIS and
enables authorities to understand urban flows, to have predictable cities from a
development perspective and to maintain full control.
Simplification of Work Flows and Citizen Interaction
Control, safety, and simplification are natural needs both at the leadership and
public administration officials level, as well as at the level of interaction with citizens.
Cumbersome workflows that consume resources, resulting in delays and blockages,
the archaic way in which data and documents are still archived (making them difficult
to access or impossible to find), long response times to citizen requests
perpetuate feelings of inefficiency and frustration and the image of an institution frozen
in time, far from community needs.
Besides all these, the new context generated by the Covid-19 pandemic has revealed
vulnerabilities and made alignment with the simplifying power of new digital technologies
become a solution, a natural necessity, and not a threat.
We always work starting from analyzing and understanding user experience,
both public administration and citizens. The applications we create simplify the work
of public authorities, strategically and operationally integrating resource management in the territory,
digitization of intra and inter-institutional administrative processes and digitization
of services offered to citizens.
The user interface of applications for citizens gives them the possibility to access
online services and documents from the institution's workflows, as well as
viewing in map any type of city data – data about public or
private properties, public domain, urban facilities, utility networks, etc. Applications are easy
to configure. The institution doesn't become dependent on us, but can quickly reconfigure
content and procedures, with minimal costs.
Local, Regional and National Development
Development begins with strategic vision. However, the synergistic action of several
key elements is needed to see results and for the results to be sustainable. The technical capacity
to collect, synthesize and analyze data multidisciplinarily, the ability to use them,
transforming them into resources and substantiating strategies, the capacity to formulate
sustainable solutions and implement them are the framework that ensures the success of any development plan.
We develop local, regional and national development strategies for organizations. We have
customized methodologies for each beneficiary. We deliver an integrated product, comprising
thorough, interdisciplinary analyses and studies, strategy fundamentals, and provide
support in implementation and financing.
Access to Financing
We ensure the success of local or national public authorities' efforts in attracting
financing, through identifying opportunities, documentation, data collection and analysis,
establishing SMART objectives, proposing implementation methods.
We provide consulting and support to public administration in achieving objectives formulated
through public procurement contracts.
Efficient Project Management
Any project is an investment of resources, whose success depends majorly on good planning,
realistic risk analysis and minimization, efficient budget management,
choice of implementation team as well as communication, both internal and external.
Most often, organizations have difficulties in managing all these aspects,
due to lack of personnel, but also lack of performance indicators.
We have the technical and professional capacity to define projects, to form and coordinate
top specialist teams and to manage implementation in all stages of development.
