ATLIS awarded NMDB contract from Norwegian Hydrographic Service
United States(prwindow)-
February 19 2008 -Bunnik, The Netherlands – 19 February 2008 – The Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS) has awarded ATLIS a contract to deliver a system for management and distribution of high-resolution bathymetric data (Norwegian Bathymetric Database NMDB).
Increased need for access to high-resolution bathymetric data and an increasing number of users expecting web-based access to data was the main reason for NHS to acquire an advanced new system to support the process of assembling, managing and distributing bathymetric data.
ATLIS will deliver the Bathymetry and Distribution components of the QARTO product suite to NHS. Both components fully comply with NHS’ requirements for the NMDB. QARTO has been designed and developed to support the core of the hydrographic production process including hydrographic data management and production of ENCs.
The NMDB will contribute to the improvement of internal production processes within NHS and to the improvement of all external distribution of bathymetric data for various purposes and in various collaborations. The NMDB project is part of NHS’ involvement in the Mareano program (www.mareano.no)
About ATLIS
Founded in 1997, ATLIS is the leading Oracle Spatial expert in the Netherlands with a strong focus on the nautical maritime sector. During the years, ATLIS has successfully implemented solutions that today form an integral part of the Dutch geospatial infrastructure.
In 2004, ATLIS successfully introduced the QARTO product suite with an implementation at the Dutch Waterway Authorities (Rijkswaterstaat). Responsible for surveying and management of both inland and near shore waters, Rijkswaterstaat demanded a solution for production of high density ENCs for use in portable pilot units. Production turn around time from survey to chart was set to less than seven working days. As no existing system could meet these demands, ATLIS, together with it’s long term business partner QPS built the system from scratch. As to date, the QARTO product suite is the only management and production system for hydrographic data capable of performing such a complex and demanding task.
ATLIS has built up a great deal of knowledge and experience over the years, partly due to substantial investments in own research. ATLIS has also built long-term relations with a number of large customers in the nautical maritime, civil infrastructure, and banking and insurance sectors. ATLIS has seen constant and healthy growth from the start.
