UGT has successfully implemented the large projects both in governmental and business sector: consulting, system integration, corporate solutions and provision of computer hardware. Large projects are conducted in every leading field of Georgia: banking and finance, telecommunication, retail, distribution and etc. Since 2004, the number of large projects has increased significantly in governmental sector.
Performed Projects by UGT:
2010 - Installation of Computing and Data Storage/Archive Systems at the United Financial Corporation. UGT’s engineers and technical consultants installed data storage and archive systems at the United Financial Corporation. It is based on Symantec’s Product, namely NetBackup. Thus, data storage and archiving is carried out by means of software on a magnetic tape, so called “magnetic tape library”. After implementation of this Project the Corporation received a system where the probability of losing data was significantly diminished, which is an important factor for the United Financial Corporation and its clients.
2010 – Installation of computing systems at TBC Bank. UGT installed computing systems at TBC Bank. Computing systems of such a level were installed in Georgia for the first time. Within this Project UGT’s specialists provided to the bank HP’s SuperDome so called High-End servers. Up to now server systems of this capacity have never been installed in Georgia. TbC Bank will use these servers for its main banking system because due to the significant growth of the Bank and the number of its clients and transactions the capacity of the existing servers was no longer satisfactory. SuperDomes have big capacity, high reliability and expansion possibilities. All the three factors are important for the Bank to be able to provide timely and uninterrupted services to its clients.
2010 – Innovation Center at the Ministry of Education and Science. Within the program that envisages installation of computers and modern technologies at schools, UGT, together with the Ministry of Education and Science, opened at the Ministry an Innovation Center so called Classroom of the Future”. The classroom has HP equipment and Microsoft software: an interactive electronic blackboard, computers, laptops, and projectors. An electronic blackboard is a novelty not only in Georgia but even at the world market. It has unique capabilities. All actions are carried out electronically. The equipment can be used for teaching any subject. When lessons are conducted in natural sciences the blackboard can be used as a virtual laboratory. It is switched to a computer that remembers all actions carried out on the blackboard.
2010 – UGT has finished installation of SafeNet Security Module (HSM) for the Processing Center of the Georgian Card. UGT has finished installation of SafeNet Security Module (HSM) for the Processing Center of the Georgian Card. This module provides full security for the processing company and its clients and minimizes the risk of confidential information leakage. The solution provided by UGT gives the Georgian Card an opportunity to increase safety and ensure high reliability of the Processing Center operation.
2010 – Technical support of the data base development at the National Center of Education Accreditation. UGT’s employees developed the concept and a framework document for the registration system development and future support. Within this Project fundamental changes were made to the data base architecture as well as main processes. Improved data base modules included: “The Register of Students and High Education Institutions”, “Grant Calculation and Accrual”, “Management of Student Mobility”, “The Register of Educational Specialties”, “Curriculum Register” etc. Besides, a pilot module for automatic exchange of information with universities and other institutions was created. The developed data base is one of the most important components of the system of the National Center of Education Accreditation. Its proper utilization will support improvement of the national education quality.
2009 - Installation of a new system for registration of legal offences was at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. AVIS – a new integrated information system for registration of administrative offences was put into operation at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This system records administrative violations in a new electronic format. The new concept and architecture of the system were developed as a result of joint work carried out by UGT and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with support of the US Government. The new system made it possible to consolidate data received from various sources into an integrated data base, thus making the process of controlling administrative offences much more effective.
2009 - Back up data center of the Civil Registration Agency. UGT has built a back up data center of the Civil Registration Agency. The Data Center was placed in the Lamperts’ modular room, which is the first one in Transcaucasia. Lamperts is N1 manufacturer of such rooms in Europe.
