The system uses only free and open-source software, achieving huge resource savings, as the cost of acquiring and upgrading software licenses is zero.

The interested parties have the opportunity to receive information regarding the spatial organization, infrastructures, environment. The infrastructure includes over 400 items which fall into a number of thematic categories, providing access to geospatial data and standardized files. The data is available through the GeoPortal, which functions as the main user interface with the infrastructure, while the system’s thematic and operational scalability is potentially limitless
