EVERSIS
Eversis is a technology company that has been operating on the market since 2003. Its custo-mers include companies from the 500 List of Rzeczpospolita and Deloitte CE TOP 500. Since 2015, Eversis has also been present in the space sector, offering dedicated IT systems and appli-cations for processing satellite data. As part of the strategic partnership with Airbus Defence and Space, the company is implementing a number of prestigious projects for the European Space Agency (ESA).
PRODUCTS AND SERVICESEversis provides advanced IT solutions in three areas of specialization: big data, contact centre and custom development. The company has: a highly qualified team of over 70 experts in the field of information technology, including ECSS methodology and consulting, its own test la-boratories and service centres. It cooperates with scientific and research units. Unique tech-nological competencies allow Eversis to carry out projects of the advanced Internet portals, knowledge management systems, task mana-gement systems (including those that manage such instruments as satellites) or data processing systems based on Big Data technologies (inclu-ding Apache Haadop or Spark).
SPACE PROJECTSEversis maintains, hosts and develops Earth Ob-servation portals (including earth.esa.int, senti-nel.esa.int) supporting the distribution of satelli-te products and technical information about ESA missions. The main task of Eversis is to improve
the portals so that access to data is as intuitive as possible, and thus end-user friendly.
GEOSS collects and provides the observational data from over a million resources, ie: satellite, re-mote sensing and aerial data, photographs and other research materials from the whole world thanks to the analysis of which, it is possible to prevent natural disasters, monitor climate chan-ge, or fight some diseases. The goal of the proje-ct was to improve the portal to so that it is more user-friendly, both in terms of the data access and navigation. A big challenge was to design and implement such IT solution that would be able to combine and properly stream a large number of constantly flowing observation data, and then enable the end users to use it efficiently and share data resources among specific groups of experts. Eversis developed a completely new intuitive interface of the portal and introduced a number of functionalities that unify the way of obtaining data and provide users with faster and more intuitive access to the ever-growing infor-mation resources. A newly designed interface allows not only for easier data mining but also its faster analysis.
System Disaster Charter for Internatio-nal Charter for Space and Major Disasters (ICSMD) supports the process of collection, deli-very, and remote sensing data processing for the crisis management services. Due to the critical nature of the support, the application is avai-lable in 24/7/365 mode. In 2016, ESA decided to modernize the portal so as to make it even more
efficient. Eversis designed and implemented changes that improved the ergonomics of the user’s interface and automation of tasks related to the remote sensing. The main challenge was to design the interface the way its use would not only be simple and stable, but also all complex tasks would be fully automated, which is impor-tant in extreme situations where time and pre-cision matter.
