The name of the company is an acronym for Advanced Computer Aided Design Engineering Manufacturing Agency.

History

In the early 1990s, the company developed software for Civil Engineering, Mechanic of Structures, Computational Fluid Dynamics and CNC Machining, but later on, in the mid 1990s, moved to Geographic Information Systems[1][2][3][4][5] and Geostatistics also. In the late 1990s, web services were developed, based on DHTML, ActiveX and Java. The transition to Internet-based systems affected the customer acquisition especially in the sphere of public utilities, particularly in reducing costs on client-side.

Engineering backgrounds

The above engineering systems are conditioned with the necessary basic knowledge in various fields, therefore the need for interdisciplinary is obvious.

Software engineering backgrounds are based on:

Technical backgrounds

Technical backgrounds are based on:

Products

Application server

CAE product

Most Slovenian viaducts between 1993 and 2004 were calculated with the program. The engineers in the Slovenija ceste Tehnika and the Gradis, the two of the largest construction companies in Slovenia, used programme for statical analyses of the prestressed bridge constructions.[9]

GIS product
  • AVIATOR, tools and components to develop complex GIS applications
DHTML and ActiveX/OpenGL web application (The look as it was in the year 1999)

Production systems
  • Weather forecasting production system,[10][11] based on ACADEMA Application Server
  • AMEBA – Slovenian archive of the meteorological data[12]
  • GV System, Real estate appraisal modeling system[13][14] (Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal)[15]
  • Automated Valuation Modeling, specially developed for handling mortgage loan portfolio (for banks), includes:
    • Information on a subject property and recent sales history.
    • Comparable sales analysis of like properties.
    • An indicative market value for many residential properties nationwide (Slovenia).
    • Price index of subject property based on Sale Price Appraisal Ratio (SPAR).[16]

gollark: I haven't actually used either very *much*, but meh.
gollark: Yes, I have actually used both.
gollark: Blame TIO, it uses that.
