e-Catalunya: Platform for collaboration and social networks

Description

e-Catalunya is a collaboration platform and social network that allows the Generalitat de Catalunya to offer the services of collaborative portals to different groups of users and professionals.

Our laboratory has collaborated since 2004 with the Directorate General of Citizen Services in the development and integration of the platform, in the extension of its use and in the incorporation of new functionalities and innovations. From 2010, it collaborates with the company ALTRAN, in charge of the evolutionary and corrective maintenance of this platform.

The e-Catalunya project was a finalist in 2009 in the European eGovernment Awards in the category of administrative efficiency and effectiveness (eGovernment enabling administrative efficiency and effectiveness).
