Join us and look back at the milestones that brought software laboratory YMS here.

 

1990 

The YMS brand is founded by the father and son duo Mikuláš Szapu.
From the beginning we concentrate on digitalizing and the intelligent use of accessible company technical and storage data.
Today the focus of the company remains the same and YMS brings more added value to their clients.

 

1993

The first clients of YMS are pipeline administrators, today the corporation eustream, a.s.
Eustream and YMS cooperate until today on a complex technical information system,
which consists of several software tools for key company processes.

 

1999

After less than ten years, YMS becomes a recognized expert in GIS and TIS.
We organize nation-wide conferences where experiences, expertise and inspiration can be shared between clients.
The tradition holds for ten more years and returns in the year 2014 as GeoSpatial Visions, which lasts until today.

It’s a reworked 24/7 system, with which Nafta began an era of innovative electronical business services for their clients.

 

2009

The development of technologies and the need to interconnect data, systems and services brought YMS to a change in philosophy from the creation of individual solutions to the creation of intelligent informational units.
The client’s needs are analyzed in context, and solutions are made on the basis of modularity, so they can be integrated within each other.

 

2010

YMS was also ahead of the times with the innovative project Electronical guradian of seniors, a dynamic localization service with a usable map application and a connection to crisis services.
It  won the awards IT PROJECT OF THE YEAR and Innovative Act of the Žilina self-governing region.

 

2011

YMS was a partner of branches of global companies (Microsoft, IBM) in the implementation of cloud services in Slovakia.
We were one of the first to place a solution into the cloud, ySpatial, and developed a mobile solution designed for the work of technical crews in the field.

 

2013

The technical information system, which has served the managers of gas pipelines well, was adapted to the providers of heat, the Trnava Heating plant, a.s.
In the same year we executed the generational upgrade of the flagship YMS, the geospatial information system (GIS) ySpatial, was converted/moved to the latest ESRI spatial technology.

 

2014

Gradually, there came more requests from clients for more field data.
With our partners we expanded our portfolio by laser scanning the surface of the earth and processing the data using special algorithms.
Using this technology we later modelled landslides in Vrátna dolina and analyzed the archeological find Molpír.

 

2015

The new GIS, which we deployed with the foresters, became the most modern forester system in central Europe and with it the creator received the ESRI prize – Special achievement in GIS award.

2016

We continue cooperating with Trnava companies and created systems for the maintenance of roads during the summer and winter for the Road Administration and the maintenance of the Trnava self-governing region.
The system includes electronical dispatching, comprehensive records, terrain data and it opens the door to road management for the transition to a digital organization.

 

2017

YMS became a partner of the Slovak National Accreditation Service with a modern AIS system (Accreditation Information System), which could not be delivered to the previous consortia.
With this, YMS expanded its portfolio to include a system for electronical services, y Agenda, which forms the basis for further successful electronical services for other clients in the following years.

 

2018

The need for clients to better use the growing amount of data leads the expert team YMS to create the solution known as Spatial decision management, yDesicion.
