» BNDES signs of R$ 1.4 m loan for company from Bahia, under Prosoft

BNDES approved R$ 1.4 m financing for Edza Planejamento, Consultoria e Informática Ltda., from Salvador. The main purpose of this project is to open the way for the implementation of the infrastructure required to start selling Metrópolis system on a web platform.

Metrópolis web is a new product designed to small-sized city halls (cities with less than 50 thousand inhabitants) with greater investment capacity. It can also be used by medium and large sized city halls requiring more features. Metrópolis web has a strong advantage as compared to Metrópolis (client/server), currently sold by Edza: is does not require installing the application and the data in the clients’ computer. This distinguishing feature provides great cost savings, as it does not require investments in acquisition, maintenance and administration of robust IT equipment to process and manage networks, once it will be used through the Internet.

BNDES funds, approved under Prosoft (Software and IT program), correspond to 68% of total investments to be made in the project, R$ 2 m, and will be used in the acquisition of national equipment, civil works and facilities, personnel training, marketing and trading . Edza will inject R$ 648 thousand. By implementing the project, 27 new direct employment opportunities will be generated.

Founded in 1992, Edza aims to provide consulting and urban planning services for city administration, developing and selling applications, and data handling services. The company has a network of quick-connection computers and servers that enable remote access to clients and partners, and provide security features, performance, scalability and technical support.

Its main clients are: city halls located in Bahia such as Salvador, Camaçari, Lauro de Freitas, Ilhéus, Porto Seguro, Juazeiro, Candeias, Cairu and Senhor do Bonfim. The solutions offered cover the tax, human resources, overall administration, health, education, planning, social work, urban cleaning and technical city registration.
