FBSIC is supported by a scalable architecture, standards-based information technology and communication, interoperability,ensuring a high sustainability of long-term application. Allows viewing, editing, analysis and reporting of geographic, alphanumeric,and documental information of land property. The benefits are evident at the level of operational efciency, with the inclusion of tools to enable process integration and standardization of procedures. Facilitate analysis and quality control and maximize performance in the acquisition, maintenance and management of registration information and land property, including legal issues. The implemented system achieves levels of robustness, comprehensiveness, openness, scalability and reliability suitable for a structural platform.

6. Why cadastre has no secrets to us
Since 1989 we execute:
- Cadastre surveying;
-Land acquisition for construction, including the execution and management of
expropriation processes.
Experience:
- Our teams perform this activities daily for the last two decades;
- We do know the daily difficulties on the field and at the office;
-We know the needs of our customers;
-We were required to redesign business processes and promote effectiveness and
productivity, related with cadastral information;
-We implemented several information system projects (ERP, DMS, GIS, BPM).
That’s why we decided to start from de very beginning, by doing the design,
the development and put into service an application based in GIS technology:
the Cadastre Information System.
Esri European User Conference October 26-28, 2011 - Madrid 6

7. The importance of cadastre
Cadastre definition:
… official register of the quantity, value, and ownership of real estate used as a basis of
taxation … recording property boundaries, subdivision lines, buildings and related
details …
Cadastre is related to:
- Social-economic and taxation justice;
-Citizenship;
-Entrepreneurship;
-Business opportunities;
-Local, Regional and National Public Administration;
-National Policies.

8. Cadastre and GIS: it´s all about …
Integration No Integration
vs
Efficiency Waste of resources
Effectiveness Absence of knowledge
Results Missed opportunities
Esri European User Conference October 26-28, 2011 - Madrid 8

9. GIS – our awareness
1. The control and management of urban and rural property, or real estate, and the use
of land, including the planning stage and monitoring, is a permanent process that
generates a colossal amount of related and diverse information.
2. All this valuable and different information is produced, processed (or not) and filed
(or not) during many years by generations of people across multiple organizations
(and reorganizations).
3. Information for itself it’s not equivalent to knowledge.
4. Both are indispensable and represent significant value, to the citizen, to the
entrepreneur, to Public Administration and to private business management.
Conclusion: Using a Corporate Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to
integrate information is one of our key strategic options.

14. Why a Cadastre Information System?
Conclusions:
-Accurate cadastre information is a significant input to other key activities of Society and it is
related to social-economic and taxation Justice;
-It is essential to the citizen, the entrepreneur and the Public Administration ;
Integration
-Property means value to everybody, individually and official entities,
… if we know, depending on the point of view :
•what do we have;
•where it is;
•which rights and responsibilities;
•what is essential and what is dispensable;
Results
•what is the potential profitability;
•what are the opportunities and what we want to do with it.
- It’s not only a matter of gathering and maintain accurate information. The purpose is to
deliver knowledge to promote efficiency, effectiveness, social fairness and investment;
- It‘s worth it: it’s added value!

property management.
Esri European User Conference October 26-28, 2011 - Madrid 26

27. Our experience
• Cadastre is related with social economic and taxation
justice.
• Cadastre Control (CC) is important to the citizen, the
entrepreneur, the Public Administration and to
private business.
• It takes sometime to have a full and accurate data
base. But if the right priorities are taken, then results
appear earlier and evolves in an exponential trend.
• CC increases efficiency, effectiveness and cost/benefit
optimization, related to key activities of Society and
public and private organizations: planning, use of
land, engineering, maintenance, lease, facilities,
liability, taxation, investment control …
• It’s worth it!
