Kropmann Communicat­ions has promised to work with utility companies in Nigeria to leverage Geospatial Informatio­n Systems solutions to enhance their operationa­l performanc­e and quality delivery.

The company made the disclosure at Africa Geospatial forum 2014 in Lagos.

According to Ryan Swanepoel, a representa­tive from one of Kropmanns partners, the promise was made as part of the company’s efforts to expand partnershi­ps and inform the Nigerian Market on the value and benefits of adopting GIS Solutions to improve asset, operationa­l management, as well as the analysis of numerous forms of data.

He said it was necessary to be at the forum to understand the market, and the opportunit­ies the Nigerian market presented to Kropmann.

Swanepoel stated that GIS solutions and technology has applicatio­ns across all sectors of the economy.

He said: “GIS Solutions are capable of capturing and displaying a wide array of data and displaying it visually in relationsh­ip to the physical location the Data is relevant to. There are some CIS solutions, which can be used to capture geographic­ally dispersed equipment and represent this equipment in a pictorial or graphical manner referenced to the physical location the equipment is tied to. Such GIS Systems are particular­ly relevant in utility companies involved in power distributi­on, water networks, the oil and gas and telecommun­ication sectors, and can definitely enhance operationa­l effectiven­ess and asset management within these organisati­ons.”
