Vicrea Solutions win Dutch contracts
Cadcorp has announced that its business partner in the Netherlands, Vicrea Solutions BV, has recently won contracts from several Dutch municipalities to supply and implement geographic information systems - Vicrea's Geo Vastgoed Registraties (GVR) application, which has been developed using Cadcorp SIS – Spatial Information System
Recent government legislation in the Netherlands has made municipalities responsible and accountable for registering and maintaining accurate information relating to the land, property and associated address information within their administrative boundaries. In response to this, Vicrea developed its GVR application to enable the creation, management and maintenance of both the spatial and the administrative data within a unified spatial database. The application uses Cadcorp SIS to provide integrated geospatial functionality.
"The main benefit to municipalities of selecting GVR is the integration of spatial and non-spatial data, allowing highly sophisticated manipulation of data – both alphanumeric and geographic. Furthermore, it allows complex spatial queries of the database without users needing to know or to look for spatial relationships in the data. This saves time and reduces the possibility of errors occurring", said Gerard Hagen, managing diretor, Vicrea Solutions BV. "The system is also easy to learn and easy to use", he added.
A number of municipalities, both large and small, throughout the Netherlands have recently implemented Vicrea's GVR to enable them to fulfil their legal requirements under the new government legislation. These include Utrecht, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Tilburg, Leiden, Den Haag and Alkmaar. Several others are currently in the process of installing and implementing the system.
"This is an excellent example of a Cadcorp business partner making use of the advanced capabilities of Cadcorp SIS to develop an application that meets the needs of a specific audience," said Mike O'Neil, managing director, Cadcorp. "I am confident that Vicrea's GVR will continue to bring benefits both to Vicrea Solutions itself and to its customers."
