About the LIS Project
Project Goals:
The goal of the LIS project is to develop a modular, flexible and highly adaptable land register information system of high quality and security, with the user-centric approach, based on open-source software and modern technology solutions.
The LIS is envisioned to be easily interconnected with cross-border information systems, and adaptable for many countries besides the country of origin - Estonia.

Time Frame:
The development of LIS will take place in several successive stages from 2017 to 2020, as follows:
2017: Securing funds for the project analysis stage and systems development activities.
2018: Preparatory sub-projects carried out in parallel:
