Terridata
Platform for the management and dissemination of national public data of the DNP.
Government requirement
Tomas Martin, from the SKL International - Swedish Cooperation program, aimed to promote knowledge management in the public operation of Colombia through the use of statistical data at municipal, departmental and regional levels. To achieve this, it sought Kubo to develop a mobile application that could display detailed geographic information of the country. In addition, the application had to work offline, downloading the information to the phone when there were places with poor coverage.
Development of an application
The mobile application developed by Kubo optimized the openness of data, ensuring that it was available anywhere in the country. One of the most important challenges was the lack of availability of the DNP database, which led to the need to build an information processor that acted as a bridge to facilitate access to the data.
The solution
For Terridata, Kubo developed an application and a data for extraction and processing of data that allowed:
- Display in a simple and intuitive way all the statistical data of the DNP in a mobile application.
- Perform measurement processes and regional studies to adapt the product to different internal markets and cultures.
- Implement for the first time in the country a mobile tool for the visualization of national data, allowing comparisons, studies and other actions of general interest.
The prize
The project was recognized worldwide, winning the Gobierno en Línea award for the best initiatives. It also received the World Summit Awards in the category of Government and Citizen Engagement. These awards highlighted the importance and impact of the application in public management, by providing high quality statistical data to researchers, governors and collaborators in Colombia.
