Salmat BusinessForce, a division of the Salmat Group, will sign a Technology Export Agreement (TEA) on Tuesday (17 Feb.) with the Northern Territory Government to commercialise the territory government's Integrated Land Information System (ILIS).
 

Phill Dance, national manager, land information services for Salmat BusinessForce, said today that under the agreement, the NT Government's department of planning and infrastructure and Salmat would jointly market and sell the ILIS technology to other governments and organisations around Australia and in international markets.
 
Dance said that governments shifting from old title systems to a Torrens Title style system of land management were driving international demand for technologies like ILIS.

“Most recently an MOU signed between the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China and Salmat BusinessForce signalled the intention of the Xinjiang Government to implement ILIS and develop a strategy to exporting the technology to other provinces in China.

“In recent years, NT Lands has worked closely with Salmat, which has integrated additional capabilities into ILIS that now make it one of the most sophisticated land management technologies in the world.”
   
Salmat says it is currently investigating potential for ILIS in India, which recently released an EOI for a land information system. Hong Kong was also reviewing the ability of government to ensure the tenure of land by moving away from feudal forms of land management.
