Geographic Information & Document Management Systems (GIS & DMS) for the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI)

Status :		Completed
Cost :		$343,777
Source of Fund :		Arab Fund for Economic & Social Development
Scope :		The project being currently implemented at the LARI covers the rehabilitation and completion of the automation infrastructure at its main location in Tall Amara, hardware and related software packages, a document management system (DMS), a geographical information system (GIS), training and immediate support needs. The development of an integrated GIS and DMS follows the same patterns and methods explained in the Litani River Authority project.

The LARI started a few years back its automation efforts. Like many first attempts, the effort was limited to specific areas and applications. As essential as they were, these pilot endeavors overlooked many areas of the LARI and created a fragmented ICT environment. A careful study of the ICT needs of the LARI revealed that they are similar in many ways to what OMSAR was implementing at the Litani River Authority, the GIS and DMS being the main similar components.
