'iRegion'
The iRegion geolocation-enabled IPad application provides context-sensitive, comprehensive and up-to-date information to decision-makers from the Languedoc-Roussillon Region when they are out and about.
IRegion connects to the council's GIS (ESRI's ArcGIS) and BI information system (Business Objects from SAP) via a single application portal (Tomcat) which enables data to be presented as a summary, that is guaranteed to be up to date.
Presenting information by topic (education, public health, tourism, sustainable development...) also extends the organization's cross departmental approach to its work : it allows managers to boost the synergies between their various skills and make a much greater impact with the public policies they are in charge of.
