The Challenge
The state administration of North Rhine-Westphalia supports the implementation of a sustainable land policy. An essential component of this is the establishment of a digital central property management system for state-owned properties. As the owner, the state has a large number of varied properties at its disposal, totaling around 120,000 parcels of land with a total area of 165,000 hectares.
The property management system is intended to pursue several objectives: First, it aims to create transparency across all state properties that fall under different jurisdictions. Non-essential properties should be identified, and supply and demand should be brought together in a more transparent and straightforward manner. Based on coordinated utilization strategies, new uses should then be developed in line with sustainable property management principles.
The system's high degree of flexibility will enable us to respond very quickly to current requirements in the future as well. This gives everyone involved in planning the opportunity to act sustainably.”
The Customer
The State Agency for Information and Technology NRW (IT.NRW) performs tasks in the fields of information technology and statistics for the state administration of North Rhine-Westphalia. IT.NRW is the central IT service provider for state administration. In this context, IT.NRW develops and operates the IT infrastructure for the North Rhine-Westphalian state administration and advises and supports the state's authorities and institutions in the use of information technology.
In the LIMA.NRW project, IT.NRW supports the departments responsible in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Local Government, Building, and Digitalization (MHKBD NRW) and at NRW.URBAN.
The Solution
LIMA.NRW was implemented as a map.apps application and secured via role-based access using security.manager. Depending on the accessing role, specific properties of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia are displayed on a map and in the generic specialist data display, or the processing of certain properties is enabled. The specialist data query offers the possibility of performing complex searches on the data. Tasks relating to digital processes in the area of requirements and dispensability can be processed and documents can be stored on an object-specific basis. The properties are enriched with specialist data via various processes and continuously updated.
The Technology
User-centered design: Requirements gathering
map.apps: Application framework
map.apps SDI and map.apps ETL: Functionality extension
security.manager: Service, data, and function access control
Esri ArcGIS: GIS base technology
Safe Software FME: Data verification, data integration, and exports
Microsoft SharePoint: Object-specific file storage
Camunda: Workflow management
JasperReports: Report generation
PostgreSQL: Database management system
The Benefits
LIMA.NRW has created transparency across all available state properties, providing the administration with an important tool for implementing a sustainable land policy. Utilization potential can be leveraged and maintenance costs reduced overall. Consistently digital and flexible in design, it will continue to offer the ability to respond quickly to current requirements in the future.
