our experience

SiDJriInformation and Data Management System for Water Resources

SIDJRI is a powerful water resource

management tool purpose-build

for the National Directorate Water

Resources Management (DNGRA) in

Timor-Leste. With its user-friendly

interface and powerful API, the

system was created for one purpose,

Simplicity! Coupled with a change

management strategy, the adoption

and integration of SIDJRI into

government workflows was absolute.

aGromeTAgro-meteorological Database

Through a partnership between

Seeds of Life, GIZ and the

Ministry of Agriculture and

Fisheries, AGROMET is Timor-Leste’s

first public-facing weather station

mapping application. It integrates

with third-party automatic weather

stations to process the country’s

meteorological data. It is a major

milestone for weather mapping

and reporting in Timor-Leste.

SWarmWater Supply System

SWARM manages public water supply

systems, assets and community groups

for Timor-Leste’s National Directorate

of Water and Sanitation (DNSA). It

integrates seamlessly with SIDJRI, creating

strong links between water resources

management and water supply, giving

the Government the complete water

picture. This is the first time that cross-

governmental data systems have been

successfully integrated within Timor-Leste.

Pakistan Humanitarian Forum

Pakistan Humanitarian Forum

PHF is a forum for INGOs operating in Pakistan to gain access to valuable real-

time data. Our subsidiary helped the company develop its internal IT strategies,

as well as future rollout of its international data collection system. As a result of

our involvement INGOs on the ground in Pakistan are now better informed.

WorlD BanKThe World Bank East African Tourist Visa

The World Bank required a site to

promote the new East African Tourist

Visa. A similie subsidiary was hired

for site design, development, and

deployment. Not only was the site was

delivered on time and beyond client

expectations, but it also means that

millions of tourists every year can access

important information regarding the

single tourist visa application process.
