Autodesk and others.

(Open GIS) and development of two key software components, called SODAL
and SODAL
Generator, to provide data access abstraction layer.

developing special tools, such as "Safa
Workflow", "Safa Rule
Engine" and "Safa Report
Generator" which enable system supporters to rapidly generate program
code and making any non-critical changes in the system, which means "easy
maintenance".
