INTRASOFT wins EC’s European Data Portal contract
INTRASOFT International, the global ICT company, and its partners have been awarded a 3-year contract for the management and evolution of the European Data Portal, renewing the first contractual term, during which the Open Data Portal was officially launched (https://www.europeandataportal.eu/).
INTRASOFT has been responsible for the hosting and launch of the DRUPAL-based web platform and related components, which features a number of state-of-the-art functionalities aiming to improve user experience and access to information. Under the terms of the new contract, INTRASOFT will continue to lead and coordinate all technical developments across the consortium partners as well as the monitoring of the underlying cloud infrastructure. The portal will not only be maintained but significantly enhanced following an ambitious development plan by INTRASOFT in collaboration with consortium partners.
The European Data Portal is a significant milestone in European efforts to provide access to public data across Europe, and with already 800,000 data sets from 34 countries the Portal is setting new records in European Open Data access.
Mr. Alexandros Manos, Managing Director of INTRASOFT International commented: “Our work on the European Data Portal has been highly praised across Europe and securing this contract for a second term proves that unequivocally. We are committed to the principles of public data access and we are proud to aid the EC in meeting its targets in this area.”
