The collection, analysis and presentation of geographical information have always been a strong interest and an important asset for nations and societies. Efficient management and exploitation of Geo-information have continually played a major role in the administration and control of land and property assets, so that more and more resources have been invested in them. The modern era has introduced a vast array of new technologies to the Geo-information field, which have improved the capabilities, sophistication and flexibility of land management methodologies and output.
We at MDVIA believe that only a combination of modern knowledge and a respect for traditional disciplines can succeed in the sphere of Geo-information. Our approach to the world of Geo-information stems from geodesy, mapping, geography and geology, which together with our extensive survey and reconnaissance experience gives us a solid basis to tailor the right solutions for a variety of clients and needs. One of our leading products is the Baobab GIS – a web based system that combines our extensive knowledge and innovative approach, designed to serve companies in the upstream oil and gas industry in projects around the globe.
