The name and logo of the firm is not the act of pure chance or a sudden idea. It refers to the area the infinite flat country the operates in; the great plain regarded as its homeland, as well as the space they live in. This name refers to the firm's philosophy too, for their aim is to present this area in its very reality in as many aspects as possible. People are shown this vividly illustrated land as an integral whole, certainly in accordance with their individual interest, business task and objectives.
The corporation was established in 1992. Co-ordinated work of three offices describes its organisational structure and operation. These units are the system developing, the investment and the information science offices. Five fundamental activity areas have been worked out at the firm: On the top of all this the firm offers an unrivalled regional non-stop FaxBank service.
One of the firm's business sectors, the space information science, has been showing the most dynamic growth over the period since the company was established. Professionals of the firm aim primarily at the domestic introduction and spreading of this new branch of information technology.
The space informatics is that sector of information science which - with its unified projecting method - is intended to integrate broken up data spread among different ground locations and organisations into consistent resources. It is a computerised informatics system, based on carefully chosen maps, hardware and software devices, that maximally serve the given purpose. Files containing information tied to ground locations can be stored and managed with the above system. Due to our special high-tech technology and displaying instruments one is capable to produce space informatics systems of any scale, also to create and display digital map- or any other optional digital products of the kind. The future role of space informatics owing to its benefits will be fundamental, since the attainable advantages: In 1993 our firm ISC (Intergraph Solution Centre) signed a contract with the American Intergraph Company, the one which has based its space informatics platform on that widely known MicroStation which is one of the most popular CAD software. Accordingly, we have large measure of chance for the implementation of GIS (Geographic Information System) systems. They range from PC basics through UNIX work terminals to solo instruments and customer serving networks. The applications developed by the corporation can be run on innumerable hardware and software platforms most frequently used in Hungary. It is possible for our customers to choose from a whole set of nearly ready-made solutions; mechanical engineering, health care, construction, civil engineering, public utility management and planning, settlement administration, road planning, etc. ...from practically any field of life. Four significant user groups represent the firm's activity up till now: The life and soul of the firm's non-stop FaxBank service is such a data processing centre that is capable of storing of several-thousand-page facsimile text, meanwhile it is being transferred to the caller's fax machine. Partners can easily place their business leaflets, price offers, advertisement material etc. on their individually opened pages in the FaxBank. To the request of customers, with the help of a separate web server the firm can also place any information stored in FaxBank on the Internet. If required, the edition of independent web page is undertaken as well.
