Our technology and data solutions GORBI has pioneered the use of GPS methodology for fieldwork in several countries in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and eastern Europe. In most cases, we can provide real-time data collection methodology that can be accessed by our clients. GORBI has developed special software that synchronizes GPS readings and provides several other variables which can be used for project monitoring and quality control. Our proprietary in-house software, STABAN, was audited in 2021 by 3M3A, who concluded that our software: “… is of an international standard and we have no hesitation in saying that it can be relied on to produce accurate data capable of use as a market currency.” We are now employing this technology in Asia and Africa. Over several years, GORBI has overhauled its IT infrastructure in order to create a safer and more secure data warehouse. This includes secure servers, dedicated IT staff and an advanced firewall with VPN tunneling technology that allows for data to be safely transferred over a secure connection. The system is monitored 24/7 to assure maximum performance and security. GORBI also maintains over two hundred netbooks and tablets that serve as hardware for our proprietary software solutions and programs. Quality control Quality Control is the most important aspect of what we do. In addition to traditional quality control measures, we have refined our ability to provide the highest-quality data and have invested in the technology required to assure our deliverables are best-in-class. Our in-house software solutions were developed with the goal of ensuring that the data we delivered is accurate and secure. By expanding our infrastructure over the years, we have developed a seamless process for delivering results that our clients can trust by using GPS-enabled software solutions and advanced monitoring technology to ensure high-quality data even in remote areas.
