MapSoft announces the first sale of Cadcorp software in Serbia
In the last issue of E-news we mentioned that Cadcorp had appointed MapSoft as partner for the Republic of Serbia, and surrounding territories. In the short time that it has been a partner, MapSoft has already won significant business in the local government market. Pirot municipality in south-east Serbia will be MapSoft's first user of Cadcorp SIS.
Željko Cvijetinović , Managing Director of MapSoft, explained some of the reasoning behind his decision to work with Cadcorp: “The Serbian market for GIS – especially the municipal GIS market - is characterized by a multiplicity of different software systems and data formats. Cadcorp is well-known for the ability of its products to coexist with other systems. We see Cadcorp SIS fulfilling a role for our customers not just as another GIS, but also as central repository capable of serving multiple systems and applications.”
