Seeking technology for geospatial information needs
About NATO
A unique transatlantic link for political and security cooperation
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation or NATO is a political and military alliance. Its primary goals are the collective defence of its members and the maintenance of democratic peace in the
North Atlantic area. NATO brings together 28 member countries from Europe and North America,
consulting and cooperating in the fields of security and defence.
The Challenge
Core Geographic Services System – Fighting Off the same map
These services are a key building block in support of NATO’s service-oriented architecture.
As a result of the Core Geographic Services contract, all staff across NATO would have access to geospatial information at all times. Commanders, analysts, and other NATO network users would
combine geospatial content from Core Geographic Services with other forms of information for
command and control applications.
The project brings together leading GIS software from esri ArcGIS with Oracle database and
Microsoft Enterprise technologies.
Our Answer
Implementing Core GIS – a valuable third opinion
Logica was awarded a contract as NATO´s consulting partner for Core GIS that met all the
requirements most satisfactorily, from 2007 to 2012.
We’ve provided support throughout the project by:
- compiling tender documents and managing requirements and use cases
- checking the designs to ensure they met NATO’s requirements including technical and user
needs
- compiling detailed reviews in support of the project manager
- providing independent briefings to the senior management of the NC3A
- checking and validating all elements of the Bi-SC AIS Core Geographic Services project during
implementation
- using risk and contingency management to bring capabilities to users as quickly as possible
- providing test and acceptance management in test beds and on-site.
Key benefits
- Continuous support during the entire project - from tender to design, roll-out and
acceptance
- Independent assessment of requirements, concepts, architectures, components and training
- Monitoring whether NATO’s defined requirements (around 1,600) are being fulfilled
- Worldwide implementation support at around 20 different commands
