The notion of geomatic was born in Quebec in the early 1990’s and defines the trade allying two sciences: geography and computing.. This union allows a great adaptability, an easy use and greater modification of various cartographies thanks to numerical mediums. The geographical
information (latitude, longitude and altitude position points) are taken down in the field
by topographical teams and then these pieces of information are directly integrated into
the CAD software. |

The creation of these computerized geographical data is also possible by digitising traditional paper plans by means of digitisation or scanning.
The "lifeless"
plans become "alive" and allow easy observations on different scales, colour
caption, fast and cheap modifications, make-ups and printings adaptable to any problems.
Besides, they are essential within the framework of developing studies to integrate and to
compare different plans.
Lastly, these "living" plans can become "clever" by associating necessary database with real and efficient geographical management. Therefore, each element of the plan gives access to its specification sheet and vice versa; very numerous researches and information supply are possible.
We, then talk about Geographical Information System (GIS), tools of management and of assistance to the decision.
The entire trades and techniques constitutes geomatic and characterizes the necessary complementarity of the ELABOR group abilities.
Thus, the ELABOR group
offers to accompany entirely its customers from their ground to their computer. By
integrating advice activities, technical performances, supervision, checking and updating
registers each element, the ELABOR group ensures the coherence and the quality of each of
these steps and missions.
Therefore, we can appeal to its abilities as a single interlocutor offering ready made
services as well as a technical contributor of only one precise activity.
