Asseco Poland S.A. signed an agreement with the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMWM) to develop and implement the IT System for Quality Control of Hydrological and Meteorological Measurements and Hydrological Forecasts, expand the Customer Service System, as well as to create and implement the Central Historical Database. The contract value exceeds the amount of PLN 25 million (gross).

 

Implementation of the system will enable centralization of all the key data generated by individual function systems used at IMWM, also providing for the unification of access and better storage security of such data. The system also aims to improve the quality of hydrological forecasts prepared and to streamline the distribution of products developed for IMWM's customers. The system will be built on a centralized architecture, matching the latest standards of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and using the enterprise service bus (ESB).

 

Under this project Asseco Poland will furthermore supply the necessary hardware infrastructure, install third-party software, conduct a pre-deployment analysis, implement five modules of the system, and provide appropriate user training.

 

"We feel honoured that IMWM, acting in accordance with the World Bank procedures, has chosen our company to implement such a mission-critical system. Floods, which occur more and more frequently in our country, have emphasized the need for using an efficient and reliable system capable of processing the data on actual water levels and rainfall forecasts. Implementation of the new system will significantly enhance the quality of hydrological forecasting, and improve the distribution of information to adequate state services, local authorities, other public organizations as well as to the public. This is our first large size project for IMWM and we hope it will bring a lot of satisfaction to our client, thereby triggering further long-term cooperation within the supply and maintenance of customer-tailored systems," says Witold Malina, Managing Director of the Agriculture Division at Asseco Poland S.A.

 

The planned project duration is one and a half years (the contract also provides for a three-year warranty period).
