CADTECH is a leader in Morocco in Spatial Reference Information Systems more commonly known as Geographical Information Systems.
It is an efficient IT structure (software editor and centre of excellence in GIS) with the goal of offering the best services and technical know-how in the field of data processing, Geomatics and GIS. Our fully developed technologies and related expertise allow us to be very efficient in delivering complex GIS projects.
Our success has been built on a strong emphasize on R&D and the development of state-of-the-art technologies. Our SYGER, a horizontal GIS solution, SYGERWEB, its full web enabled version, GEO-SMS/MMS, its mobile components, and PANONICA, a third generation decision making support platform… allow us to effectively deliver GIS projects.
Vertical solutions in E-Government Projects are up and running like E-Cadastral System, E-Map Library Project, E-Housing and Habitat, the National Geological Information System… just to name a few.
CADTECH today has achieved a turning point in being able to succeed and secure international bids like the Moroccan Post Office, the Urban Community of Casablanca, and SCETAUROUTE France…

Examples of successful projects:
Over the years, CADTECH has completed many projects. Three examples of such project are shown below.
| |  Road Management System (RMS)
Using GIS, the RMS draws on several sources of information such as topology of the road network, information on degradation gathered during client in field surveys along with the maintenance system to design and prioritized road repairs based on how they want to manage the maintenance. The result is an optimized maintenance program that is more cost effective than the present manual decision making process. Some of the inputs are combined with demographic information to produce an optimized plan for new road construction.
| | Territorial Management System (TMS)
Using the same concept described above, the TMS uses province level information about roads, schools, construction; water, sewer, power and other public assets to provide provincial ministries with a tool to more effectively carry out their planning tasks. Ministries are also able to coordinate activities to produce more efficien results. For instance if the Education Ministry wants to build a school, it will coordinate with the transportation ministry and responsible for power and water to insure adequate services are available. This can even be rolled up to the federal level to better plan such activities within the country. | | Geomarketing
A large Moroccan distributor uses information about its outlets to optimize deliver routes and, when combined with demographic data to highlight possible localized marketing campaigns to areas where the right demographics exist, but sales are lower than expected. |
Bref History:
Excerpt from the WASHINGTON TIMES, JULY 24, 2003:
In 1995, three engineers realized their dream of creating a high-tech IT startup in their native Morocco with the birth of CADTECH Founded as an engineering and consulting firm to offer state of the art expertise and quality service in data processing, geomatics, and geographical information systems (GIS), in a few short years it bas become the leader in this market niche in Morocco.
Chemsedine Ould Sidi-Baba, CADTECH's Executive Manager and a graduate of Cornell University, initially saw a need in Morocco for products that would give urban planners, property developers and others with similar responsibilities the ability to cross-analyse data with space as the only common factor. CADTECH accomplished this by taking the usual alphanumeric data and combining it with geographic information. As Sidi-Baba put it, "When you are developing a country, proper GIS analysis is crucial".
CADTECH has conducted several projects for Moroccan government agencies, including the Ministry of the Interior and most recently the Moroccan Post Office. The multi-stage plan for the Post Office consists of optimising the distribution of the agency's fleet of trucks and the quantification of data sets to determine the best sites for new rural postal facilities. | Some milestones:
- 1995: Creation of the company,
- 1996: SYGER was referenced by BENTLEY as a third party solution,
- 1997: Our Road Management System was chosen by SCETAUROUTE, France, as their main system,
- 1998: E-Cadastral System, Information System for Land and Real Estate Management for the Ministry of Habitat,
- 1999: Winning the International bids for the National Statistical Geographical Information System and the National E-map library,
- 2001: SYGER WEB/XMAP developed in J2E/ XML,
