Management
Institution Type: Research Institute
Geographical Scope: Global
Language: German, English, French, Spanish
Profile: The fundamental concern of the HATI
company is to develop specific, easy to handle tools for electronic
documentation and qualification. It supports working processes, for example in
the field of ecological sanitation and heating systems.
Furthermore, HATI focuses on the development of electronic information systems
for special branches to support craftsmanship.
Another main activity of HATI is the initialisation and co-ordination of
scientific- and development projects. These initiatives often narrowly relate to
the introduction of new technologies in craftsmanship.
Since the foundation of HATI we developed the multimedia author system
"HyperTool", which is used for supporting presentations, consultancy, reference
documentation and maintenance activities. In the meantime this system is already
available in 6.0 version. This author system produces qualification building
stones as well as professional information systems.
