SICAD/open

Overview

SICAD is a mature GIS software which is characterized through extensive functionality, tried and tested data management and thorough integration into the Internet technology.

This powerful product has been designed from the beginning to be an open system, oriented towards IT-standards. Therefore, SICAD is available based on UNIX as well as WINDOWS operating systems. Geo-data can be administrated in relational standard databases (INFORMIX or ORACLE) and the clients can communicate with the servers via the prevalent network protocol TCP/IP – or, for viewing purposes, simply via the Internet – with our SICAD Internet Suite.

With SICAD you can manage, edit and display all kinds of geo-data – from vector, raster or purely alphanumerical data. Converters are available to allow the data transfer of other graphical systems or to migrate data into their formats. For viewing and analysis purposes, these kinds of data can even be processed with our low-priced desktop mapping system SICAD Spatial Desktop.

Your data are the most precious part of a Geo Information System – that is why with SICAD they are given the most attention. SICAD provides multiple standard geo-objects, from simple objects like lines, texts, areas or symbols to powerful sector-specific objects that allow the easy management of complex topological networks like utility networks or sewage systems of large cities. In addition, these data can be visualized and printed in excellent cartographic quality!

This is one of the reasons that distinguishes SICAD from low-end CAD systems: If you wish to manage your data in a secure way with a view to the future, you will need intelligent data structures and a mature data management system. Trust in SICAD to take care of your data!

By straight-forward orientation to IT standards in line with many years of experience in GIS development, that SICAD is used in the development of standard applications and in major customer projects, fulfilling highest requirements for data and processing quality. This enormously high integration ability allows our customers to use SICAD as a component within corporate business processes.

If you belong to the customers who are using both SICAD/open and ESRI's ArcGIS, we can offer you products and tools, that can very much support you. For details see
