The Novasoft Company has already officially begun the construction of its new Center of Competence in Science and Technology Park of GeoLit, a new building, built in an area of 1750 meters and with capacity to house a staff of over 150 employees focused on developing innovative solutions and creating value services to the public.

The Novasoft president, Francisco Barrionuevo, welcome the guests and explained them the project that the company plans to develop from this new Center of Competence, remarking  that the stakes for the province of Jaen began years ago, in 2008, with the installation of a delegation to the Big Bang business building that, little by little, has grown in number of people and volume of projects developed, becoming, with more than fifty employees, mostly engineers licensed by the University of Jaen, a major component for the support and development projects around the Novasoft group.

Barrionuevo has also mentioned, during the act, that the Centre for Competition in Jaen was born with the challenge of becoming a national reference in research, development and innovation of solutions and products designed exclusively to address the needs of public administrations related to e-goberment procedures and citizen e-participation. In fact, the Competence Center is a pioneer in applying a model in which NOVASOFT is available in the market as a valuable partner, capable of providing full IT service products and solutions.

Framed into the Innova-TE program, the decision represents an investment of seven million Euros and this system will be implemented within one year in 66 City Councils of the province as well as in the Deputation

The e-Administration implementation process in the 66 Ministries of the province, - all but the Lugo one - and in the Deputation it is already in process, by the official launch day that was held yesterday. Sponsored by the provincial agency under the Innova-TE technology program, this project will be implemented by the joint venture Novasoft and Mnemo-Software AG-Fujitsu. These firms will be in charge of making the e-administration in twelve months at local authorities and also in the provincial, allowing residents and citizens to perform from home forty procedures with the Deputation and up to eighty with the city councils.

To cite only some examples, it will be possible to consult or ask for certificates of registration, make payments and taxes and apply for building permits of minor works. Also, it will be possible to request a duplicate or certified payroll tax deduction to the income statement. In addition, the e-Administration facilitates enrollment in training activities and the recruitment process of works and supplies. But not only it will benefit residents, but also this new system will work in favor of their own rulers because electronic signatures may be used to sign decrees or files from home, ensuring greater efficiency in management.

As announced yesterday, the implementation of e-administration has rigged a series of actions, both in the Deputation and in the Ministries. In the first, a centralized data processing center will be created, as well as a portal platform and a geographical information system. In addition, Innova-TE will open an office in the capital to resolve any doubt, and will launch an ambitious training campaign, in order to promote the access of the citizens to e-administration.

Besides making life easier for citizens of all municipalities of Lugo, this initiative, which investment amounts to seven million Euros, will allow to create new jobs.
