SIDJRI
InformationandData
ManagementSystem
forWaterResources
SIDJRI is a powerful water resource
management tool purpose-build
for the National Directorate Water
Resources Management (DNGRA) in
Timor-Leste. With its user-friendly
interface and powerful API, the
system was created for one purpose,
Simplicity! Coupled with a change
management strategy, the adoption
and integration of SIDJRI into
government workflows was absolute.
AGROMET
Agro-meteorological
Database
Through a partnership between
Seeds of Life, GIZ and the
Ministry of Agriculture and
Fisheries, AGROMET is Timor-Leste’s
first public-facing weather station
mapping application. It integrates
with third-party automatic weather
stations to process the country’s
meteorological data. It is a major
milestone for weather mapping
and reporting in Timor-Leste.
SWARM
WaterSupplySystem
SWARM manages public water supply
systems, assets and community groups
for Timor-Leste’s National Directorate
of Water and Sanitation (DNSA). It
integrates seamlessly with SIDJRI, creating
strong links between water resources
management and water supply, giving
the Government the complete water
picture. This is the first time that cross-
governmental data systems have been
successfully integrated within Timor-Leste.
PakistanHumanitarianForum
PakistanHumanitarianForum
PHF is a forum for INGOs operating in Pakistan to gain access to valuable real-
time data. Our subsidiary helped the company develop its internal IT strategies,
as well as future rollout of its international data collection system. As a result of
our involvement INGOs on the ground in Pakistan are now better informed.
WORLDBANK
TheWorldBankEast
AfricanTouristVisa
The World Bank required a site to
promote the new East African Tourist
Visa. A similie subsidiary was hired
for site design, development, and
deployment. Not only was the site was
delivered on time and beyond client
expectations, but it also means that
millions of tourists every year can access
important information regarding the
single tourist visa application process.
