Swedish Environmental Protection Agency selects Cybercom for new IT
system

Cybercom has been commissioned by the Swedish Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to develop a new solution for an IT system that supports
inventory of, damages caused by, and hunting of predators in Sweden.
There will initially be a development phase involving Cybercom's
expertise in security, web development, and geographic information
systems (GIS).

“We chose Cybercom because they could give us the best technical
solution with the best quality assurance, and because Cybercom can offer
broad strategic expertise in security solutions and mapping,” says Britt
Grevér Eriksson, IT strategy manager at the EPA.

Initially, Cybercom's employees will develop a solution proposal for a
new IT system for predator management for 500 users in 26 agencies
throughout Sweden. County administrative boards, central agencies, the
Wildlife Damages Centre, Swedish Sami villages, hunting and conservation
organisations, predator researchers, laboratories, and others will all
be able to use the new system effectively.

If the EPA determines that Cybercom's proposed solution is satisfactory,
Cybercom will also deliver the IT system. There is also an option to
manage the resulting predator management system.

“This project has great potential for us,” says Odd Bolin, managing
director of Cybercom Sweden. “First, it requires expertise from several
of our specialities, like security and web development, and in the long
run, probably even mobile services. It also requires the agile practices
that we advocate with the opportunity for a clearly larger assignment
with the EPA later on.”

For the remainder of this year and throughout 2012, a development team
of up to eight persons will work on developing a solution. There is an
option for increasing the scope of the project. To develop the best
possible mapping system, Cybercom will work with Esri Sverige, a leading
provider of geographic information systems with access to cutting-edge
software and a global network of GIS expertise.
