Geometry Geoinformatics System House Ltd.

Research into various application areas of GIS, development of GIS systems.

Digital base map development, GIS base software development, primarily suppliers of GIS for public utilities, with significant Western exports.

The development of the first nationally extensive small-scale Hungarian digital maps (OTAB, BTA 2000), the development of the first Eastern European GIS software (alfaGrafik, topoLogic), the initiator of Hungarian GIS software export (in 1992, 39% of their sales revenue was export). Since cartographic software was not yet available in the beginning, they developed alfaGrafik, and then at the International Cartographic Congress in Budapest, between August 14-17, 1989, the first Eastern European professional GIS, topoLogic, was presented.

alfaGrafik, topoLogic product development.

In 1989, the first public utility applications and databases were built for the Budapest Electric Power Company and the Budapest Metropolitan Water Company.

1990 Water network registry for the Budapest Metropolitan Waterworks, HALIR project.
1996-2001 MAVIR-Electricity Infrastructure and Telecommunications Information System.
1998 Network Inventory System, a technical inventory of your telecommunications network and equipment.

The development of the first nationally extensive small-scale Hungarian digital maps (OTAB, BTA 2000), the development of the first Eastern European GIS software (alfaGrafik, topoLogic), the initiator of Hungarian GIS software export (in 1992, 39% of their sales revenue was export).

As a subcontractor of Dornier GmbH, it developed a topoLogic-based GIS module for the German radioactivity monitoring system. The relationship lasted for 10 years and culminated in the sale of a joint software product.

In the development of the CARIN auto navigation system, which was put together by Philips, the Dutch European Geographic Technologies bv, as a subcontractor, first prepared the car navigation map of Germany and then France, and within 10 years, approximately 3/4 of the European road network was digitized in various content and quality versions. The relationship with Navtech continued and ended with the digitization of the 3.5 million mile(!) road network of the USA. In the 90s, the company
participated in the development of numerous topographic maps in the Netherlands and Denmark, and created various thematic digital map databases in European countries. Based on the domestic experience of the utility network database, the development of utility network databases of certain Dutch and German electricity, water and sewage companies has begun.

The first professional GIS in Eastern Europe, topoLogic, was presented at the International Cartographic Congress in Budapest, between August 14-17, 1989. The system contained 110 thousand C-language codes, was connected to a database manager (SQL), and was awarded the Compfair'89 prize.

The Ltd. was first part of the Coopinvest Small Cooperative, from which the Ltd. separated at the end of 1987. Founder: János Szilágyi, then after his early death (1999) Tibor Tenke became the president and managing director. Important employees were initially Gábor Huber, László Nyári, Gábor Herendi (developers of alfaGrafik), Ildikó Andrasev, then Miklós Gánics, Péter Hargitai, István Nikl, Ferenc Pataki.

Geometria is the most successful private enterprise in Hungarian GIS. Its first employees worked in the Coopinvest small cooperative. They separated and established a small cooperative, a Kft., and then a Rt.

In the nineties, its activities covered about a third of the GIS market.
A leading specialist in GIS applications for public utilities.

Several Hungarian and foreign subsidiaries were founded.

The 100% owned Dutch subsidiary of Geometria Kft. was established in 1995 to support the export activities of the parent company. The company's task is to take care of customer relations in the Netherlands and provide local technical support. It ceased to exist in the 2000s.
The share of exports reached 50% of the company's revenue in the mid-1990s.

Its subsidiaries in foreign markets: GeoAdat Ltd. (1997), graphIT Ltd. (1992).

They established the Hungis Foundation and the journal Geoinformatika.
