Details: The Context: Faced with climate change and input inflation, it is crucial for farmers to understand how these changes will influence their costs and income. Indeed, new working methods and new cultures can provide solutions, but their economic viability is difficult to assess. Several Issues Were Identified by Elected Officials of the Rhône-Alpes Territorial Committee During Participatory Work Concerning the Financial Management of Operations Faced with the Current Context: The Relocation of Production Fluctuations in Raw Material Prices Environmental Regulations And Constantly Evolving Food Safety. The Recent Problem of the Sale of Value-Added Products (Organic, Labeled). Diversification as a Solution to Economic Resilience. Initial Training in Agriculture Does Not Always Cover All Aspects of Financial Management The Results of the Survey Among Beneficiaries in 2022 of Financial Management Training Reveal That 41% of Respondents Are Not Satisfied with the Profitability of Their Farm, Putting Thus, there is evidence of a pressing need for improvement in this area. Although 83% of operators say they are competent in terms of controlling production costs, a significant proportion of 45% have not taken into account the consequences of inflation on these costs. This Highlights the Need to Strengthen Their Financial Analysis Skills to Take into Account Changing Economic Factors. This survey also highlighted that 60% of participants expressed the desire to find room for progress to improve the profitability of their operations. However, 45% of them have not yet managed to identify opportunities for such improvements. These results highlight a need for support to help these farmers identify and exploit new areas of progress to develop their profitability. Analysis of the Results Also Indicates a Predominantly Negative Sentiment Among Respondents Regarding Their Level of Financial Management Skills, With a Net Promoter Score (nps) of -33, Suggesting a Significant Need for Skills Building in This Area . In Conclusion: The Data From Our Survey Justifies the Importance of Investing in the Training of Farmers in Financial Analysis. These training courses are essential to help them understand their situation, identify economically viable areas for progress, and thus contribute to strengthening the profitability of their farms, ensuring their resilience in the face of economic and environmental challenges, and promoting sustainable agriculture.

Services in the IT service Portal for ArcGIS and GIS server infrastructure The IT service ensures the provision and processing of geoinformation via IT specialist applications in the state-owned company Hessenforst. Various technical services provide different tools and processes so that the IT service can meet the requirements of the company. The portal for ArcGIS is a central component of ArcGIS Enterprise. In particular, the introduction of a mobile GIS and corresponding offline applications has made it a central part of the GIS infrastructure at Hessenforst. The portal for ArcGIS has been made available in the Hessenforst data center in the production, development and integration environments. Mobile applications based on the product Weblinemobile, the Esri standard apps and also the operational GIS are developed using the portal for ArcGIS or are then migrated. On the basis of an architecture and operating concept, the portal for ArcGIS must be operated, expanded, monitored, maintained and kept up to date. The requirements therefore include the operational operation, architecture and administration of the portal. The development of processes for automation in the environment of the portal under the ArcGIS API for Python should be given high priority in order to support the implementation of recurring requirements for administration and operation. The following services are to be provided: - Administration, monitoring and operation of the portal for ArcGIS - Development of processes for automation in the portal environment under ArcGIS API for Python Services in the IT service Forst-GIS The IT service ensures the provision and processing of geoinformation in the state-owned company Hessenforst.

The service provides users with systems and software for maintaining basic spatial data and generating maps as part of forestry management. The service has interfaces to other services such as database management and the Arcsde service for geodata management. The aim of the ForstGIS service is to enable end users to maintain geodata at Hessen-Forst. The users who use the products and systems provided by the ForstGIS include the Forestry Geoinformation department (an organizational unit of the state management) with the subject areas of GIS data management and GIS analysis as well as forest management planning and the internal and external foresters. The service is used to design, develop and provide Hessenforst's own geoprocessing tools, the so-called Hessentools, to support the workflows. The basis is the ESRI software Arcmap and ArcGIS Pro. The data is stored in an ESRI SDE under Oracle. Cross-state data model with the associated geoprocessing tools via the product Fobis. The product "prosuite" from ESRI CH, in the future from Dira Geosystems, is used to ensure quality when maintaining geometry data. Map series are currently still configured and output using the Map Toolset (KTS) product. The interface software FME is used for mass processing and further geo-processing. The ticket system is the software "echolon". The following services are to be provided: - Support for adjustments as a result of technical and specialist changes - Development of test scenarios and implementation of tests as part of change and release management - Second level support for users with regard to the software provided, the functions and the processes as part of incident management Services in the IT services Mobile GIS and mobile wood recording GIS facts and maps that are important for the state forestry company and its employees and that can provide answers that support decision-making are made available to the user via the Hessenforst app MGIS / MGIS HF Offline. This is not a web application, but a native iOS app for iPhone and iPad. In addition to providing information for the field service, recordings and changes for the central procedures are made via specific specialist applications. Data is exchanged bidirectionally in both directions, centrally to the central databases and locally to mobile iOS devices (iPhone and iPad). The Mgis app currently provides 7 specialist applications, such as traffic safety, with a variety of topics. The system landscape consists of 3 environments each: a development environment, an integration and test environment, and the production environment. In addition to the purely location-related applications, the first application that is primarily focused on factual information has been added: wood recording and pile location. The technological basis of the Mgis/Mgis HF app for iOS is the Weblinemobile app from Intend Geoinformatik, which has been adapted for Hessenforst and is used via Arcgis Enterprise and the Arcgis portal. The development environment is Arcgis Runtime V100.x. The app is made available to employees via the Enterprise Appstore of the Hessenzentrale für Datenverarbeitung (HZD) and is authorized via Active Directory. The bidirectional connection to the portal for ArcGIS and the backend infrastructure with the databases is established via a special VPN application. MGIS was developed as a native offline app with an actively initiated synchronization, since a secure Internet connection is generally not possible in the forest. Developments on the app are carried out by the developer company. The applications are created, adapted and made available in the portal for ArcGIS. Users can then download the applications from there to their mobile devices depending on their authorization. The configuration of an application and the associated web services is carried out via ArcGIS Pro as well as a metadata schema in the portal for ArcGIS and a database-supported configuration framework, which enables a high degree of automation to be achieved. The following services are to be provided: - Ensuring the technical operability of the system environment, the applications and their configurations - Configuration, creation and adaptation of the required services - Participation in all further developments and the tests carried out for this - Development of test scenarios - Ensuring second level support for all applications IT services Operational GIS Operational GIS is the central web-based information and recording system for all GIS issues that are important for the state forestry operation and its employees and that can provide answers that support decision-making. Currently, more than 150 topics are provided via system maps, individual topics or topic groups. In addition to central state-wide topics, users have the option of creating their own maps or overview maps, adding their own content to them and making them available to others. The system landscape consists of 3 environments each: a development environment, an integration and test environment and the production environment. One focus of the work is on providing new themes and adapting and expanding existing themes within the web application using a configuration tool specifically developed for this purpose. Another focus is on creating, adapting and monitoring the web services required for the web application via ArcGIS Enterprise with the Portals for Ar-cgis and the ArcGIS Server. There is close cooperation with the Portal and Server Infrastructure service. The data required for the maps and themes is kept in an Oracle database and entered into the database or updated via the IT service SDE Geodata&processes. This also applies to data model changes that arise as a result of new or changed themes. The operational GIS in its current expansion stage is a customized web GIS application via the Webline product from Intend Geoinformatik, which was developed on the basis of the ESRI Java Script API 3.x and can be run in all common browsers. As a rule, little or nothing is programmed independently; instead, it is configured (configurator). The GIS web services are configured using the Esri Arcmap software, and the applications themselves are configured using the Webline-specific configurator. HTML and CSS are used to design forms, and JavaScript code is embedded in the HTML code if required. The database contents are accessed using the Esri ArcGIS Arcmap software, the FME interface software, or using Oracle SQL Developer and SQL. The plan is to replace the current operational GIS based on the Webline product and Java Script 3.x by the end of 2025. As of today, the plan is to provide a new application using the Esri Java Script API 4.x. Mobile GIS and operational GIS are closely linked. The aim is to establish an even closer connection via the ArcGIS portal and to combine and use configurations for the two IT services, operational and mobile GIS. The aim is to use standardized interfaces in order to be able to offer more consistent processes for the different GIS and non-GIS procedures without any interruptions. The ticket system is the "echolon" software. The following services are to be provided: -Ensuring the technical operability of the system environment, the applications and their configurations -Configuration, creation and adaptation of the required services -Participation in all further developments and the tests carried out for this -Development of test scenarios -Second level support for users with regard to the software provided, the functions and the processes within the framework of incident management Services in the IT service SDE, geodata & processes The SDE, geodata & processes service plays a central role in the GIS and IT technical provision service as well as the handling and processing of geoinformation and serves all GIS IT services directly in the performance of their tasks. In addition to a specific administrative role, the service includes the roles of geodata and process management. The service ensures access to spatial data in the geodatabases. The data is kept in an ESRI SDE and ST_geometry in the Oracle databases. The data models required for the respective IT services and their application must be developed, created, adapted to changed requirements and access to the data must be regulated using granular authorizations. The service is responsible for the contents of the geodatabases and for ensuring that they are up-to-date, of high quality, of performance and of functionality. To ensure this, in addition to ESRI standard tools and methods, the FME interface software from Safesoft as well as database jobs, database procedures and database triggers are developed and used. The provision of new and updated data as well as quality-assured data is a central component of the service portfolio. This is supported by automated process, maintenance and job chains. Regular monitoring of these as well as checking and analyzing the output logs is a central component of the service's tasks. In addition to the administrative and operational activities for the company's own service, it is also necessary to support the other GIS IT services and to accompany the implementation of test and quality assurance work that is carried out as part of change and release management. As part of requirements management and application development, advice and support is provided, particularly for the IT service GIS and the GIS services. Troubleshooting in 2nd and 3rd level support as well as the support or takeover of defined work packages in projects is part of the tasks to be performed. The following services are to be provided: - Ensuring the technical operability of the system environment for the applications of the GIS IT services - Geodata management and provision of new and updated as well as quality-assured data in the central Oracle database and an ESRI SDE - Configuration and creation and adaptation of the required processes, job chains and procedures - Data modelling and rights management - Testing and analysis of the output logs - Participation in all further developments and the tests to be carried out for this - Development of test scenarios - Second level support for users with regard to the software provided, the functions and the processes within the framework of incident management Services for Gupta Team Developer (incl. Building Blocks) and C#.net/Visual Basic.net The IT services described in the service description provide various forestry specialist applications that are currently available with Gupta Team Developer and the Class library building blocks are developed. In detail, these are: - Timber recording and marketing (HEV), - Procurement of forestry services (BFD), - Forestry facilities (and natural inspection), - Integrated time and quantity recording, natural data recording (IZME/NDE), - The hunting program, - Parcel management, - Bark damage survey (SSE), - Measures management and - Personnel management. The data storage of these specialist applications is based on a relational data model in a central Oracle database. Therefore, good SQL and PL/SQL knowledge is a basic requirement for the (further) development of these specialist applications. The Eldatsmart data exchange format is also used and further developed for data exchange with other market participants in the area of raw timber marketing. Services for development, programming, troubleshooting and error correction are required for the OG forestry specialist applications. Development is understood to mean the development of one or more technical solutions in order to solve a problem or task. Programming is understood to mean the technical implementation of the solution developed. It is planned to port all applications on the technological basis of Gupta to C#.net. The porting is expected to be completed in 2026, so that after that no more services for Gupta development and programming will be requested. Services for application development and maintenance in C#.net after porting from Gupta Team Developer The IT services described in the service description provide various specialist forestry applications that were developed with Gupta Team Developer and the Building Blocks class library and then transferred to C#.net as part of a porting project. In detail, these are: - Timber recording and marketing (HEV), - Procurement of forestry services (BFD), - Forestry establishment (and natural inspection), - Integrated time and quantity recording, natural data recording (IZME/NDE), - The hunting program, - Parcel management, - Bark damage survey (SSE), - Measures management and - Personnel management. The data storage of these specialist applications is based on a relational data model in a central Oracle database. Therefore, good SQL and PL/SQL knowledge is a basic requirement for the (further) development of these specialist applications. Since the specialist applications were originally written in Gupta Team Developer and ported to C#.NET in 2025, good experience in Gupta Team Developer and the Building Blocks class library is an advantage. The Eldatsmart data exchange format is also used and further developed for data exchange with other market participants in the area of raw wood marketing. It is planned to port all applications based on Gupta technology to C#.net. The porting is expected to be completed in 2026, so that services from this lot will only be called up after the porting. With the porting, the previous reports based on Gupta Reports must also be ported to a new reporting platform. For the OG forestry specialist applications, services for the development, programming, troubleshooting and error correction of the applications and reports are required. Development means the development of one or more technical solutions in order to solve a problem or task. Programming means the technical implementation of the solution developed. Services in the Oracle Apex environment Currently, 4 applications are productive using Oracle Apex (wood location, operational sampling, cultivated area evaluation and reorganization). Further applications are planned. For these applications and for possible new applications, services for consulting, development, programming, troubleshooting and error correction are required. Services in the SAP BW environment Based on the SAP BW system of the state of Hesse, the applications economic planning, control (wiplus), BFD reports and sales planning have been developed in one portal. Wiplus supports the economic planning of the forestry operations it supports and the natural planning in the state forest. The implementation of the planning is supported by execution data that is maintained in Wiplus (control) and evaluated in the form of plan-actual reports. Plan-actual reports are possible at the district, forestry office and state management levels. Sales planning is a separate application in the portal that accesses the economic planning data. Sales planning bundles planning quantities in preparation for sales negotiations and provides needs-based functions for data maintenance, entry and evaluation. The BFD reports application enables evaluations of award data from the company's own specialist procedure for the procurement of forestry services (BFD for short). Evaluations are offered as design studio reports and SAP BO Analysis for Excel reports. For these applications, services for consulting, (further) development, troubleshooting and 3rd level support are relevant. The applications are hosted at the Hess. Competence Center (HCC) on a SAP BW platform. The HCC operates and partially develops these applications. One order for support, consulting, small developments/bug fixing, etc. is planned each year, as well as, if necessary, one order as part of an IT project for (further) development. Services in the IT service Birt The IT services described in the service description provide various specialist forestry applications, some of which provide reports based on Birt Reporting. For the further development and maintenance of these reports, services for programming, troubleshooting and error correction are required. Services in the IT services mass storage, server and backup/disaster recovery For the IT services mass storage, server and backup/disaster recovery, services for consulting and carrying out tasks in these services are relevant. Mass storage The service provides disk space based on storage systems operated by Hessenforst and rented storage (hzd). Hessenforst operates 4 systems from the manufacturer Dellemc. Two systems are located in the ARZ Mainz, two more in Giessen. Block-oriented volumes are used for VMware data storage as well as file server services with NFS and CIFS/SMB. Mass storage is also used as a backup target (Veeam, snapshots). Hessenforst operates QNAP systems for file transfer and backup. Every backend system required by any software used is mapped as a virtual machine via VMware VSphere on mass storage systems. Every application required by users stores data on the mass storage systems. All user drives (e.g. F:\, G:\, U:\) are located on Hessenforst mass storage. The service provides the following functions: File services: File services for both Microsoft-oriented systems (CIFs/SMB) and Linux-based systems (NFS). When providing the Birt & databases (Oracle) services, a protocol conversion takes place between the two worlds. VMware data storage: Data storage is made available for the VMware hypervisor. This takes place via the Fibrechannel (Giessen) and ISCSI (ARZ Mainz) protocols. Server/hardware The service provides virtual or bare-metal compute and RAM resources based on X64 systems. Hessenforst operates both physical and virtualized servers. The majority of the systems are located in ARZ Mainz and Giessen. There are also servers in every forestry office, in the Forestry Training Center (FBZ) Weilburg and in facilities of the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park (NPA). Each backend system either runs directly on a server (bare.metal) or receives a virtual environment via VMware. The service provides the following functions: Compute: CPU resources for operating systems or hypervisors. RAM: Memory resources for operating systems or hypervisors. Local mass storage: In the case of servers not operated in clusters (e.g. NPA & Forestry Office ESX hosts as well as bare-metal servers (admin server) Backup/disaster recovery This service offers all other services the option of backing up data and restoring all necessary files. Both file-based and server/client-based data backup solutions are offered. In addition, the DR case is considered and appropriate precautionary measures are taken (RTO/RPO). The core functionality of the IT service "Backup and Disaster Recovery (B&R)" is the backup of all operationally relevant files and virtual machines in order to be able to offer appropriate recovery options according to defined SLAs in the event of a service/emergency. The focus here is on the productive areas of Hessen-Forst. In addition, precautionary measures are taken to be able to make the relevant systems and files available again in the event of an emergency. The IT service "Backup and Disaster Recovery" offers, as a basic service of the infrastructure, The ability to back up all relevant systems that cannot be restored within a defined time frame as part of an automated software distribution and to make them available again in the event of a failure. In addition, file storage is backed up using mass storage mechanisms and data is replicated asynchronously from Mainz to Gießen. Services in the IT service Software distribution Hessenforst operates its own software distribution based on Ivanti DSM 2022.2, via which the Windows end devices in-house and virtual machines are automatically installed and maintained. The majority of the workstation computers are installed and maintained by the HZD as Hessenpc.
