We must seek : Structure + Structure with Simplicity in our Mind Web + Desktop + Mobile

Now the most important is:
The Solution, something with Geographic Capabilities
Users Apps Data DataBase Tables Attributes Relations
Like a summary, very basic … We have two types of data Alphanumeric Graphic DB Screens Reports
GDB Screens Maps
For the endusers, doesn’t matter
Implementation Choose tools with some kinds of geographic capabilities, we are going to need it
Our Solution, Modularity & Integration – Only One DB (GeoBase)

Integration + Automation Increase Efficiency, an Example
A company with fully integration and automation does their budget in less than 1 week, that is: • know in details all the operations that they need to do in 1 year (Nursery, Harvest, Transport, Silviculture) • know for each one, resources and their cost in details (labor, equipment, material) Thousands !!!! of records are inserted into a DB, then they can programing and controlling those records during the year.
Meanwhile, another company without this kind of solutions: If they have 60.000 stands, in a rate of 50% need some activities during a year: need 60.000 * 0.5 *
2 min = 1.000 hrs for budgeting this operations (124 days)
need 60.000 * 0.5 *
1 min =
500 hrs for budgeting this operations ( 62 days)
need 60.000 * 0.5 * 30 sec =
250 hrs for budgeting this operations ( 31 days)
