The functionality, requested by the customer, is created using CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) systems for the development of software solutions, capable of assisting the user and the informatics developer during the entire evolution of the informational system, from the requirement analysis  stage, right through the design of functions and database stages, in order to create and test, up until implementation and the subsequent evolutionary and maintenance adjustment  stages.

Such a structure  can then be considered as fully operative and functional per se.  However, at the same time, it must be looked upon as a launch pad for the development of new and more advanced functionalities, for the handling of data, whenever the Administration  considers it to be right and necessary to proceed in such a direction. The system is of  a modular design which makes it possible to install several components, configuring different types of solutions, whether centralized or distributed.   The product created by IPT brings together the typical SIT functionalities in a single solution, namely, support for high resolution images obtained through satellite remote sensing technology, and the possibility  of communicating  both from and to the territory using  the Call Center and Web Center.

IPT has created SITCOM tm, Municipal Territorial Information System to offer a modular and integrated response to the needs of Local Public Authorities.

SITCOM tm System Modules

SITCOM – Carto™
Permits the integrated management of Official Cartography: CTR; Cadastral; Raster Images.

SITCOM – Terra™
Permits the management of  Territorial Resources, i.e.  geographical components shown in cartography as territorial objects to which descriptive and/or classifying data  can be yoked.

SITCOM – Grafo™
Permits the management of the road network, providing  the end-user with a set of geocartographical functionalities to analyse and evaluate various road network problems, and to optimize specific mobility situations (optimization of traffic flow, choice of shortest/quickest route,  best-suited route for vehicle concerned, and/or choice of alternative routes).

SITCOM – Urban™
Permits the management of themes pertaining to town planning, such as, studies, layouts, organization, production of P.R.G.and Executive Instruments.

SITCOM – Thema™
Permits the yoking of data in Databanks, housed in RDBMS, with their relative cartographical position, so as to also permit the management  of other applications (registry, fiscal, networks, road systems).

SITCOM – Taxes™ 
Permits the geographical management of subjects censored as individuals pertaining to tax exemption procedures.

SITCOM – Genet™
Permits the integrated management of technological networks (Gas, Water, Sewers), allowing the design, georeferenced mapping, and classification of the same with  attributes of the existing environment.

SITCOM – Protc™
Permits geographical  informatics support for the management of scenarios  relevant to  Civil Protection problems.

The possibility of interacting  with databases and external archives is envisaged for all modules. This is achieved either by dialogue functionalites in real time, using supports offered by (ODBC – Open Data Base Connectivity) protocols and data exchange  protocols for  geographical subjects  (OGDI – Open Geographic Data Interchange or, alternatively,  by methodologies for data exchange in deferred or near real time, with the download and conversion  of formats for archives run by systems which are not supported by data exchange methodologies in real time.
