The system supports all activities related to the preparatory and implementation phases of the project through its four core modules – an internal and external portal, mobile workstations and mapping.

eAGRI – An Internal and External Portal for the Ministry of Agriculture

The eAGRI portal is the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture and its subordinate organizations, as located found at eagri.cz. The eAGRI portal serves is a source of information for the public, but it also provides information and data resources for internal users from the Ministry. The main objective of the eAGRI portal was to aggregate a number of varied resources scattered through the agriculture sector into a single location while also retaining the decentralized management of the various areas of information.

POSIM – Flood Simulator (in Czech = POvodňový SIMulátor)

This flood simulator is used to simulate and model the impact and related impacts of long-term flooding. The application can be run in two basic modes – current status and simulations. The program was created for the Department of Logistics and Crisis Management of the Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín to ensure an attractive and vivid teaching tool to be used to study this problem and its possible solutions.

Czech POINT – Secure System Access

The USB hardware SafeNet iKey 4000 tokens were selected to secure access to the CzechPOINT system. The USB token security keys, along with the operating system software, provide the possibility of strong authentication protection by using something that the user has (the token) and something the user knows (the PIN for the token) and thus it enhances the protection of the entire system, which is handling sensitive personal information. Even with a large number of municipalities and the diversity of their different IT environments, there were minimum number of technical problems in the system rollout and these were all successfully resolved. The implementation of the authentication protocols took place throughout the end of February 2009, and it was confirmed that the solution is able to meet the high demands placed on it.

Cross Compliance – A System for the Administration of the Subsidies Paid to Farmers

The objective of the Cross Compliance project was to build a functional system that would provide the State Agricultural Intervention Fund one centralized location for the information needed to decide on the amount of subsidy to be paid to a farmer. It was challenging to manage and coordinate all of the work involved in this complicated and extensive project. On the customers’ side, there were nine entities; and, on the subcontractors’ side, fifteen companies. Our work involved integrating activities (analysis, design solutions) and the subsequent coordination of all subcontractors and customer entities. We also supplied the hardware and, last but not least, the development of new system components

BUDVAR MUSEUM – Control and Monitoring System

The museum’s exhibits also include an attractive tour of the brewery’s operations and it provides a visitor summarizes to the visitors the overall picture of Budweiser Budvar, its history and current circumstances. Our company designed and supplied the technical background, which provides all of the effects for and the fully automatic operation of the whole exhibition. There is audio-visual equipment (projectors, plasma screens, player), lighting equipment, simulators, automatic doors, turnstiles and a control system. A separate part is the security camera system and the remote control system.

RMIS – An IS Control and Risk Management System for Jelgava and Siauliai

The main objective of this cross-border cooperation was to build a common, comprehensive, effective and fully interoperable platform to support crisis management between neighbouring towns in Latvia and Lithuania. The essence of the project was to optimize the functionality of the crisis management system with the help of technical tools and resources that were integrated into joint control centres located in both cities. Definitely the most challenging aspect of the project was the considerable diversity of legal, cultural and also linguistic backgrounds and their subsequent need for harmonization so that all stakeholders understood the terminology being used both professionally and in terms of language.

DUP – Control for urgent medical care admissions with dynamic support of crisis management

The system manages the everyday intake of patients at a medical facility. It helps to organize the reception of all types of patients and organizes the related medical consultation services at the medical facility both for existing patients as well as for patients yet to arrive (intake). There are time savings in being able to gather the necessary medical teams within about 15 minutes for a single patient. In the case of the collective intake of patients during large-scale disasters in the region or if there is a need to evacuate the hospital, the dispatcher switches the DUP system into crisis mode.
