The first brick of a high technology network
for the management and exploitation
of building and property patrimonies

A technological network of highly specialised companies which can interact through the web, and which operate in the sector of real estate patrimonies (historical-artistic-monumental, infrastructural, civil, industrial, etc.) in terms of knowledge, computerisation, testing and control and verification, repairing and conservation, maintenance, management, diffusion and exploitation. The culture of innovation, also through the "Global Information Society", applied to knowledge, computerisation, repair, improvement, management and exploitation of building patrimonies in general and historical-artistic-monumental patrimonies in particular, is the link between the companies and organisations involved in distinct business and entrepreneurial activities. The philosophy of "The First Brick" is also physically represented by the choice of location of the individual activities: in distinct and independent zones within modern fully cabled buildings that are networked with each other, using the latest in communications technology. Each company is able to offer avant-garde approaches and solutions in its specific sector, in complete structural, administrative, organisational, strategic and operational autonomy. However, thanks to the synergies of the network, available through the Network City Technology, it is possible to obtain integrated responses to complex and inter-sector problematics. The availability of the common virtual meeting point in "The First Brick" constitutes an added value for each of the companies and a factor of optimisation for potential clients. "The First Brick" is a network of high technology content services, which can be accessed with the dual opportunity of utilising more than one of them, and having the guarantee of an exceedingly high level of service and an excellent cost-benefit ratio. With the advent of Global Service and the diffusion of Total Quality, of networks and internet, together with the evolution of the sectors of management of building patrimonies in terms of knowledge acquisition, computerisation, controls, verification, repairs, conservation, maintenance and exploitation it is reasonable to foresee the expansion of the space-system of "The First Brick" and the other companies and/or companies supplying high technological content services. Furthermore, already today, Network City Technology is connected to other centres operating in Italy and abroad in synergic and complementary sectors (Universities, Research Bodies, Private Organisations, etc.). A common meeting point between the various companies can be found in NCT Global Media which manages the areas of "professional training", of "information" and "communication" through the network. Professional training regards current and very specific:
a) knowledge acquisition, management, exploitation of building patrimonies and in particular of historical-artistic and monumental;
b) familiarity with, and use of, the internet both as a business and as a consumer, having as base elements language and technological skills.
The potential of NCT Global Media's communication and information projects can be appreciated in the interactive project "the new Millennium on line".
