We get the processes and tools ready for the management and execution of the complete life cycle of software development, guaranteeing the quality and predictability of our solutions and services.

We implement a governance mode, based on agile methodologies, to our projects. The set of processes and procedures applied for defining and evaluating the software development lifecycle, pursue to obtain a higher level of productivity, efficiency and quality in a continuous process of improvement and incorporation of good practices.

Our team has the experience and the capacity to provide business consultancy services and technical support in both project management and development.

The business experience and knowledge gained over the years has allowed us a wider implementation of cadastral management systems and procedural (justice) management systems to other administrations, being especially relevant the projects carried out for Mexico City, Alava, Cantabria and Andorra.

We consider the effective management of the cadastre as a basic element for the modernization of the public administration. The potential for increasing the tax incomes, the benefit for a better and more structured management of the territory, or the contribution to the legal security of the real estate properties are key aspects for the municipalities.

Internationally, Tracasa covers the whole; from the implementation, updating and maintenance of cadastral information, to the development and implementation of cadastral management solutions, having a wide experience in the accomplishment of this type of projects.
