Ness Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: NSTC) will implement the $6 million Digital Map of Prague project for the municipality. Ness will create a digital map of the city, which will serve as a digital map of the city to be a reference source for the municipality's geographical information systems.
Ness added that the project would also simplify planning queries, support various authorities, and benefit the Czech capital's citizens.
Ness actually began the development and implementation phase of the digital map solution in October 2007, and will provide project management and analytical consulting services for the project as a whole, in its role as integrator. The company said that its partner in the project was T-Mapy, a geographical information systems (GIS) provider in the Czech Republic backed by Sweden's T-Kartor. It added that the digital map project uses standard ESRI and Oracle systems, which are standard GIS platforms in the US and EU, including in the Czech Republic.
Ness Czech managing director Mirko Kalous said, "We were selected for the Digital Map of Prague engagement based on our successful implementation and continuing development of Real Estate Registry Information System, a unique solution built for the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre and drawing on our deep experience and knowledge of GIS solutions. This contract supports our long-term focus on the state and local administration sectors in Eastern Europe."
Ness rose 0.4% at the opening on Nasdaq today.
