Founding Partners:

Nika Technologies Inc. was formed in 1999 to provide Information Communication Technology (ICT) services to First Nations in Canada. Both LGUs First Nations (Indigenous governments) require MIS to be integrated with land management systems, which is strong component of Nika's expertise and experience. Success is the achievement of independence through the transfer of technology to clients.

Since 1986, GWN Technologies has provided clients with high quality, integrated, civil/municipal design, mapping, and GIS software. GWN is the only company in Canada to offer such a comprehensive suite of applications on multiple hardware and CAD platforms.

GWN applications are currently used in 45 countries around the world, including a number of the world's leading consulting engineering, environmental, mining and utilities companies as well as various levels of government.

NTPI's other strategic partners include MIS application developers using Progress, Borland, Microsoft and Oracle.

How NTPI Assists LGUs

NTPI:

• helps LGUs build a strong technological foundation, which can be used to implement an integrated, incremental and sustainable Information Systems Plan (ISP).
• builds long term relationships with clients. The definition of success is the transfer of NTPI technology at the level, which is wanted and can be used with the possibility of complete independence from NTPI services.
• offers a one-stop-shop. NTPI works with expert partners while NTPI retains the responsibility to ensure the delivery of excellence.
• believes in Open Systems and Open Source technologies. It provides the most flexible and economically viable alternatives for the technology service delivery to clients.

WHAT NTPI CAN DO FOR LGUs

• Assess ISP or develops ISP if not written.
• determine existing IS infrastructure and provides recommendations on upgrading.
• select best MIS applications to meet client needs. This could mean consolidation through one vendor or supplier. Alternatively NTPI could assist LGUs to select the best MIS, such as, RPTS and BPLS from one vendor and the best payroll or CRS from another. In this case NTPI ensures that all systems are integrated.
• assist LGUs to implement an integrated, incremental GIS either acting as an advisor to design an implementation process, or working cooperatively to design, train and assist in the implementation phase.
• act as the technology consultant to LGUs for ICT planning, integration, and implementation.

Specifically:

• Information Systems Planning (ISP)
• MIS Application Selection
• System Architecture and Design
• Hardware and Software Implementation
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Technology Transfer (Training)
• Project Management

Geographic Information System

GIS is a specialized form of MIS. It has primarily been used by the Planning and Assessment Departments for land use planning and real property tax mapping. However, its real benefit is the ability to add value to 'all' departmental MIS by adding to their reporting capacity and by helping in the overall decision support system. The Key is the linkage of the GIS spatial information to the MIS text attribute database in all departments.
