The notion of geomatic1 was born in Quebec in the early 1990’s and defines the trade allying two sciences: geography and computing..
This union allows a great adaptability, an easy use and greater modification of various cartographies thanks to numerical mediums.
The geographical information (latitude, longitude and altitude position points) are taken down in the field by topographical teams and then these pieces of information are directly integrated into the CAD software.
Then, the drawing of the territory or of the substructure noted down is reconstructed, allowing a very precise visualization of it.
The creation of these computerized geographical data is also possible by digitising traditional paper plans by means of digitisation or scanning.
The "lifeless" plans become "alive" and allow easy observations on different scales, colour caption, fast and cheap modifications, make-ups and printings adaptable to any problems.
Besides, they are essential within the framework of developing studies to integrate and to compare different plans.
Lastly, these "living" plans can become "clever" by associating necessary database with real and efficient geographical management. Therefore, each element of the plan gives access to its specification sheet and vice versa; very numerous researches and information supply are possible.
We, then talk about Geographical Information System (GIS), tools of management and of assistance to the decision.
The entire trades and techniques constitutes geomatic and characterizes the necessary complementarity of the ELABOR group abilities.
Thus, the ELABOR group offers to accompany entirely its customers from their ground to their computer. By integrating advice activities, technical performances, supervision, checking and updating registers each element, the ELABOR group ensures the coherence and the quality of each of these steps and missions.
Therefore, we can appeal to its abilities as a single interlocutor offering ready made services as well as a technical contributor of only one precise activity.
The ELABOR Group commits itself to
- Strictly respecting the terms of reference supplied by its customers (service, precision requirements,…)
- Giving a personalized professional advice in the framework of each deal carried out by its colleagues.
- Stating out a precise estimate within 5 working days on receipt of the request.
- Respecting the decided time limit in agreement with its customers
- Putting in touch each customer with the person in charge of the service carried out for him.
- Supplying, anytime, to its customers a statement of the requested services by a personalized access on internet where they will be able to consult their files in private.
1 Discipline concerning database management with spatial references, requiring sciences and technologies linked to their acquisition, their stocking, their processing and their diffusion. (Source : Office of the French language (Quebec)- Geomatic Vocabulary 1992)
