Introduction

Information is an inevitable part of our daily lives. Accessing the most up-to-date, accurate and

meaningful information is very important for both individuals and organizations.

In the current era where we are surrounded by a plethora of information resources, information is

more public and accessible.

“Information Systems”, which is a context that involves systems that communicate information and

that depend on the information, have entered our lives, especially after the recent advances in

software and hardware technologies.

“Information Systems” are more meaningful with the other integrated systems and provide more

efficient solutions for the end users of both individuals and enterprises. Having different systems

integrated and running as a whole, users need the capability to use them. As a natural result of this

fact, corporations seek users with this experience and capability. At this point, Uz Consulting

International applies years of experience, defines all processes and executes them in order to have

the systems work in harmony. In addition to that, a user’s interaction and decisions are always

supported through the friendly interface so that highly skilled or talented users will not be required

for daily operations or other routine tasks. Although “systems integration” is a rather old concept,

it’s gaining more attention and meaning through the developed and interoperable technologies.

Geographical Information Systems, nowadays, evolves in parallel to the developments in

information technology. All the information that we have is now enriched with geographical

attributes. This has yielded new application areas. Some of the most strategic application areas of

this combination (information systems powered by geographical information) are: the

shortest/quickest access to an incident location; security and safety analysis of an incident location

(such as other important places around this location), finding the closest and the most appropriate

unit to dispatch, interoperation of multiple departments (such as security and health) through a

centralized database, using incident records in further analysis for planning, incident analysis or case

studies, legal purposes, measuring and tracking the efficiency of units, and so on. GIS, integrated

with e-government applications are very important for further planning, analysis and decision

support systems.

We, Uz Consulting International, are here to help you use information systems efficiently in your

organization. This will result in your satisfaction built on efficient solutions.

Best wishes,

Uz Consulting International

About Uz

Uz Consulting International or UCI in short, was founded in 2009 by an experienced team. UCI has its

vision and is determined to achieve its vision and aims.

UCI was founded as a systems integration company to take active roles in systems integration and

information systems projects.

Our mission is to become a major player in information systems and systems integration projects,

which are our primary fields of expertise. Our main focus will be on geographical information

systems and other web-based or intranet-based projects, such as business process automation, web-

based enterprise resource planning and others. We aim to apply our expertise in present and future

projects. Our consultancy services cover all phases in the project management process, such as team

formation, project planning and management, testing and delivery.

In addition to systems integration projects, UCI also provides software development services

according to specific needs of a customer.

Our vision is to involve our clients in all stages of the project execution. We completely convey the

knowledge and expertise to our clients to provide usable and useful systems. Within this context, we

don’t use “customer satisfaction” as a cliché, but as the basis of our services. Just like in the other

fields we cover, UCI also aims to bring new concepts in “customer satisfaction” by supporting it with

efficient solutions. “Customer satisfaction built on efficient solutions” is our foundation.

Our primary territory of operations includes Turkey, Middle East, and Turkic Republics. In our next

phase of development, we plan to grow in European Union and North Africa.

Our value is, of course, our people. We can always provide an alternative to the other components

of a working system. However, the human factor is the most important gear in the system and it is

almost impossible to replace team members easily. UCI is aware of the value of the investment in

people.

UCI aims to be a major systems integration and information system consultancy firm in the region by

“providing customer satisfaction built on efficient solutions”.

As a company who adapts to new technologies immediately, we cordially invite you to visit our web

site to stay informed of new services as we introduce them. Our web presence is at:

Fields of Activities

UCI is specialized in software development and related services. Our main target is to be among the

major software development firms and major outsourcing partner for companies all over the world.

UCI has been founded to be a software development and systems integration company.

Within this context, we are currently working as “software development” departments of the other

companies who want to focus on their primary activities and they leave software development parts

to UCI. Under different business models, the idea works just perfect.

Having software development department outsourced has of course advantages. First advantage is

that companies who outsource their software development activities can focus more on their

primary activities, rather than allocating some other resources (time, people and hardware). Second,

they need to invest in software development, have to develop software development culture in the

company. In most cases, software development efforts start with specific needs of organizations. At

the end of these efforts, even if the project is successful, time of software development team gets

underutilized – unless the product is going to be published and made available for public. Therefore,

only a team for support and modifications are required. The project may go unfeasible. For some

several other cases, the project does not succeed. Having your software outsourcing work is

cheaper, easier, requires less investment than you may think and worries for the future of software

development team will be reduced. It’s a win-win situation, indeed.

Software Development

Because of the recent changes in software development there are many tools available that would

help software developers create cost effective solutions for their customers. For a specific business

field, you can find various software products. Although these products are very well engineered to

accommodate most of the expected functionality, corporate users in particular still need its own

software developed. This is where UCI comes in.

It is evident that the first step is to analyse requirements, identify all of them and prioritize. At this

stage, existing systems and investments must be carefully analysed in order not to waste any

investment. The design will be based on the established requirements and implementation will be

according to priority.

The client will play a very important role during the whole process, from analysis to test, design to

development. This guarantees the system will be developed according to user’s needs and the

customer acceptance of the system is increased.

What will UCI do for you in this process?

1. All of your requirements will be analysed and documented properly. This sounds cliché, but

it is the standard and a very important step in the process.

2. Your requirements will be categorized. Because we know that while some of your

requirements can be implemented later on, some of them are probably very urgent and

must be implemented immediately. Therefore, all requirements will be prioritized.

3. Implementation will be planned according to this prioritization.

4. Design will be performed according to the broadest scope that you have so that later

modifications will be easier and cheaper.

5. If there is an application being developed, all forms and screens and flow between forms will

be refined with your input.

6. All deliverables, including the software applications, will be documented perfectly.

7. Training will be delivered for the software applications.

8. According to the nature and complexity of the software application or applications installed,

support will be provided for 1-week to 1-year at your premises and when you are in trouble;

we will be THERE!

Desktop Applications

Although the web dominates the current software industry, there is still a lot of need for desktop

applications. Despite common understanding, desktop applications can also communicate with web

servers and can still update web-based information.

All software applications, including desktop applications, which we develop, are provided with 1 to 3

years of warranty against bugs and are provided with full documentation.

Web-based (Internet/Intranet) Applications

The Internet is the primary medium of business and operation for most companies. Although it is the

easiest way to do business, to communicate and to publish, it still needs some improvement,

especially for the security and safety of commercially confidential information.

Our web technology team is ready to help you automate your corporate operations, sales tracking,

group communications, and even vehicle tracking through web applications.

Software developed for the Internet can be easily configured to run on the Intranet (local area

network of the interconnected PCs in an organization).

Mobile Applications

It is a rather new but booming field of applications – mobile phones and PDAs. UCI is committed to

following all new technologies and developments in the field of IT. Therefore, a new division of UCI is

dealing with mobile applications where small mapping and routing applications are being

implemented.

These applications can serve many purposes, such as sales force management, technical support or

support automation and management, tracking emails and tasks, delivery planning and vehicle

routing, and many others.

Internet access on mobile networks is faster and more widely available than ever before; hence,

mobile applications are gaining more attention and in the near future will be easier to integrate with

the enterprise work flow and enterprise processes. In other words, you will be able to carry your

office wherever you go, and mobile versions of your corporate applications will make all documents

available for your business.

Geographical Information Systems

Geographical Information Systems can assist businessmen to municipalities, an average computer

user to a technician who executes complex spatial analysis for decision support systems. The variety

of users complicates implementation and application of GIS. Naturally, GIS is a multidisciplinary

concept. Multiple disciplines must be applied together to achieve integrated information systems.

The multidisciplinary nature of GIS results in a diversity of fields where GIS is applicable. Production

of digital maps related to a specific “place” enables us to provide “smart” responses to queries

related to this “place.” In other words, production of spatial data about a place helps us determine

spatial relationship among the other entities in the same place; for example, measuring the distance

between these entities accurately. Furthermore, incidents around that specific place can be

interpreted and according to the results of analyses, forecasting and planning can be performed

more precisely. GIS and its components enable all of these functions.

As you may have already noticed, all of the functionality depends on the data. Therefore, we can

achieve correct results if and only if the data is accurate and correct. In order to have correct data,

we have to collect and survey it right, process it precisely and present it as wanted. If the data is not

collected properly, it is nothing more than a bunch of useless bytes. If not processed properly,

spatial data is totally useless; it must be adjusted according to the application that will use it.

UCI steps in at this critical point and starts from the beginning by analysing required data to be

collected. Modification of data for better and easier use, different functions for different user levels

and similar tasks which require experience will be performed by UCI. In addition to these, UCI

supports you through the whole project – from the concept to the final delivery with its experience

and know-how. During the operation, UCI will always be with you for technical and other kinds of

support. Providing support is a vital component of our business approach.

UCI is also providing field surveying services to its clients through its partners. Complete project

management, follow up and quality control processes are performed by UCI in order to make sure

that we deliver the right solution.

Case Study: Municipalities

Municipalities and similar government organizations need GIS more than other clients and they are

easier to provide with GIS solutions than most. Municipalities always work on spatial data and

geographical attributes of the areas for which they are responsible. Municipalities are closer to the

public and therefore probably need to be more proactive than other government bodies.

There are various fields where GIS is applicable in the context of municipalities. In addition to

regional and city planning tasks, business process modelling, presenting local information to the

residents, establishing the infrastructure for touristic, cultural and other social activities,

establishment of a smart geographical information system about the whole city to provide users

with functions like finding the nearest pharmacy, address queries at the street level, and so on.

The following are samples of applications that can be provided to municipalities.

Page 25: U CONSULTING C P OMPANY ROFILE NTERNATIONAL · COMPANY PROFILE May 12, 2014 Uz Consulting International Page 4 About Uz Uz Consulting International or UCI in short, was founded in

COMPANY PROFILE May 12, 2014

Uz Consulting International Page 25

Modelling the change in the city between dates (number of new establishments, direction of

expansion/contraction of municipal boundaries, etc.)

Public awareness of the information related to the city.

Increasing residents’ awareness of the city by providing an integrated geographical

information system

Providing a new method of promotion of new developments in the city, supported by the

place of development and other applications, such as live video streaming, etc.

Management of the municipality’s fleet of vehicles through an integrated vehicle tracking

system so that misuse, diversions from the planned route can be detected or better routing

alternatives can be suggested.

Intelligent transportation solutions can be built on top of an established geographical

information system and as a result traffic flow can be controlled and commanded from the

centre.

Building command and control centre at the municipal building to monitor, command and

control all integrated municipal systems.

Case Study: Incident Management/Emergency Response Systems/Emergency Aid for

Healthcare

Disaster management, crisis management, emergency response, incident management and other

terminologies aim to address a single issue: helping people when they are in trouble. Therefore, we

prefer giving them a single name: Incident Management. This term is applicable to:

1. People who have health problems and who need immediate attention

2. People who are involved in a traffic accident

3. People who are caught by fire

4. People who need to be rescued from flooding, earthquake, snow storm, sand storm, hill,

lake, mountain, river or who are lost in their way

5. People who are involved in some or all of the above

Incident management systems are very important in our daily lives. They must be operated on 7/24

basis and they have to respond quickly. In addition, all procedures must be well defined so that

whoever is attending the incident would follow the same steps to help people get rid of their

unfortunate situation.

Incident management systems have different components. The most important components and

their explanations are summarized below.

Human – the most critical aspect of the system. The system is designed for humans and is

operated by humans. This makes it complicated and smarter – and error-prone,

unfortunately. Therefore, the whole system must be designed in a way that reduces the

potential errors before they happen.

Incident Registry – all incident details are registered in the database and they can be queried

by date, time, person, name, keywords, etc. This helps analysing the current incident.

GIS – the authorities must be able to pin point the location of the incident with the help of

the descriptions of victims, or by the phone number, or some other information. Not only

Page 26: U CONSULTING C P OMPANY ROFILE NTERNATIONAL · COMPANY PROFILE May 12, 2014 Uz Consulting International Page 4 About Uz Uz Consulting International or UCI in short, was founded in

COMPANY PROFILE May 12, 2014

Uz Consulting International Page 26

pinpointing the location, but also finding the shortest and the quickest way to reach the

incident location are very important. In addition, GIS will help locating the best suitable

resource for the type of incident – for example, if this is a big accident, ambulance and fire

brigades, or civil defence may be required.

Vehicle tracking systems makes all the mobile and stationary units be visible to the system.

The system must be integrated so that the incident is handled properly by the most proper

agencies. All of the nearest and best available resources can be directed to the incident

location. Here,

o Incident management system finds the proper agency, equipment and materials.

o GIS finds the most suitable units according to their locations. For example, some of

them might be already patrolling around the incident location and these units can be

directed to the new incident if they possess the right equipment.

o Vehicle tracking system assists GIS to access locations of the mobile units.

o Mobile units will be notified by the navigation devices or radio. They can be tracked

en route to make sure that they reach the incident location properly.

The incident management system can be monitored and all actions of the officers can be

tracked real time at the command and control centre. Therefore, command and control

centre must be designed very carefully. There are a lot of aspects that affect the design of a

command and control centre. The figure below shows a sample command and control

centre design by UCI.

UCI can provide, install, integrate, operate and training for the all systems listed above.

Systems Integration

The latest developments in the computer and associated industry resulted in very well developed

and prepared systems which are available at affordable prices. Therefore, clients often request COTS

systems to be supplied. It is quite difficult, if not impossible, to match all the needs of clients. COTS

systems are proven, error-free or at least fault-tolerant; however they were built for generic

purposes. Furthermore, in any size of IT project, you may find different COTS systems required.

Supplying different systems for the different parts of a project cannot work unless you make them

communicate with each other. In other words, all the COTS systems you acquire will be totally

useless if you don’t integrate and make them work together. Here’s where UCI comes into the

picture. With years of multidiscipline project expertise, UCI will help you make the most of your

investment. Not only computer hardware and software, but also internetworking, performance

optimization, testing and documentation are the key parameters addressed by UCI during systems

integration.

The following summarizes our services in this regard:

1. Analysing, evaluating and reporting candidate systems that you wish to purchase. Reporting

includes the compatibility degrees of the new system components; partial compatibility and

full compatibility will be reported. Incompatible parts will be reported as well. Possible

modifications will be listed, and the best suitable among the candidate systems will be

suggested.

2. Integration of new systems will be planned and the whole process will be defined so that the

integration will be flawless.

3. If a new system or systems are to be established or acquired, requirements of your

organization will be listed, compatible systems will be selected and upon your approval,

systems will be purchased, installed, and a turn-key solution will be provided to you. All the

technical responsibility will be on us and you will simply (and virtually) “turn the key” to start

working.

Case Study:

1) As “SeekingASolution Group LLC.”, you are seeking for Vehicle Tracking Systems and

Accounting Software. You already have a geographical information system in place. At UCI,

we analyse your existing GIS and based on our findings, we locate the best Vehicle Tracking

System to serve as many of your needs as possible while staying within your budget and at

maximum warranty period. At the same time, we look for the accounting system software

through other firms that we are in touch with, because accounting software is not our

primary field of expertise. Our findings will result in a report that suggests all the possible

alternatives. After your acquisition, we develop a small software application that retrieves

the results of the vehicle tracking system and transfers it to the accounting software as per

your approval. We also provide you with full support during the usage of this program. In the

end, you have a new vehicle tracking system and new accounting software, which are fully

integrated with your existing geographical information system.

2) “SeekingASolution Group LLC.” is extremely happy with the system integration performed as

explained above. Costs are being tracked better, minimized and future planning results are

better. The company has grown more than expected and it seeks a transition to Enterprise

Resource Planning. This is a very important and sensitive process that may be long lasting.

UCI is still here during this process. First of all, existing workflows will be modelled,

components of each step will be identified, new software systems will be installed and

training will be delivered. At the same time, the customer should never or minimally notice

“the big change.” Full support from “SeekingASolution Group LLC” executives and

employees, developing small software applications for a smoother integration, customizing

new forms according to new standards of the company will be performed by UCI.

“SeekingASolution Group LLC” will utilize the benefits at the maximum while feeling the

pains of transition at the minimum. Customer’s satisfaction built on efficient solution

remains the signature of UCI.

Looking at a solution from a broader angle, foreseeing possible problems and preparing solutions for

them, selecting the method of implementation, and finally handing over your system requires

expertise – that UCI has.

subsystem requires a different specialization.
