Oracle technologies are used to
upgrade the ITIS_EU. This will allow
the implementation of provisions of
legislation taking effect on 1 July 2022
according to which persons whose
permanently reside outside the
territory of the EU will be reimbursed
VAT on goods purchased in the
Republic of Lithuania and exported
from EU territory. The e-services will
allow smoother refunds of VAT on
goods purchased in Lithuania and
exported from the EU.
Novian Systems implemented
Microsoft Power Apps and
Microsoft Power BI
technologies for quality
control monitoring on a
painting line.
During the project, Novian
Systems replaced the client's SQL
databases with reports based on
Microsoft Power BI technologies,
and installed sales, debts, and
inventory modules.
The data exchange platform
which Elsis PRO substantially
upgraded allows users to submit
data electronically and receive
feedback promptly. The work was
carried out with the existing
system in operation.
Elsis PRO is developing advanced
software for automatic scheduling of air
traffic controllers based on artificial
intelligence and big data analytics
solutions. The system includes airspace
planning and optimisation, which will
allow more air traffic to be served with
the same resources, reducing aircraft
delays and ensuring safe air navigation.
Benefits The data collected and analysed will
allow the State Tax Inspectorate to
control VAT refunds more
effectively.
This will enable quality
measurements, get product
information and automatic
data reading from industrial
measuring tools. The
measurement data will be
processed and stored.
The new reports make it possible
to see and analyse all operational
data in one place and from
various angles.
Lithuanian institutions
administering EU Structural Funds
investments and the beneficiaries
of those funds will be able to
carry out even more processes,
from application to completion
reports, entirely digitally.
Functionalities cover the planning and
operational management cycle, ranging
from forward long-term planning to
tactical planning on the day of
operations.
