I am excited that project I have been working on at Intergraph called ” iKatastr2″ has placed on 6th position in category “Mobile service” in national competition called “Kříšťálová lupa 2012” (Czech Internet Prize)
- First 3 places has been occupied by popular news applications or national TV app ( hundreds of thousands users).
- 4th place positioned AVG antivirus application for Android. (tens of millions users)
- 5th place took Czech public transit application. (hundreds of thousands users)
iKatastr2 was the only map/geospatial-related application nominated
few reasons for success are :
- good content provided through OGC standards by national mapping agency (CUZK)
- great user experience for getting job done
- application quality and stability
- focus on local (national) services rather than global
Awarding ceremony was great fun ! it was in the spirit of end of the world in 2012 so stage was styled as cemetery and winners received among other gravestones . Each winner had a chance to say something and then they passed into the black tunnel to ‘the other side’ as the end of the world is planned in 3 weeks.
