The GIS supported the diagnosis of the network with demographic, neighborhood, distance and density indicators, fundamental data for proposing changes to the structure of the health network.

Strategic Planning System

GloboCabo Holding

Kartor developed a decision analysis system for the start up of cable TV operations in 25 Brazilian cities.
