The National Council of Cement and Building Materials (NCCBM) may take patent of a Management Information Systems (MIS) created by Vbsoft India.

The Ahmedabad based VBSOFT is also the systems solution provider to the US Federal government.

NCCBM, a government of India enterprise, which oversees the construction quality of more than 2.5 houses in quake-affected Gujarat, has been using the unique MIS designed by the software company to conduct audit at the sites across the state.

“The company has done an excellent work while executing an agreement with US since the last one year and we have already extended the contract. Now we are seriously contemplating to take patent of the MIS developed by VBSOFT,” L H Rao, resident project manager of NCCBM said.

“We have been working with the Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA) in the reconstruction audit project which yields a huge database and, earlier , we were anxious about maintenance of these statistics, But now with the help of this system, we can work without any hazard,” said Rao.

A statewide network was developed by VBSOFT India for NCCBM to conduct the audit of houses being reconstructed as per GSDMA guidelines. The unique audit system, which take care of standards set by the Bureau of Standards and GSDMA guidelines, helps figure out inadequacies in the construction and offers remedial action.

“The system keeps track of all phases of construction and the evaluation is done with an indigenously designed technology,” said Vivek Ogra, director of Vbsoft
