MQ ist die neue Plattform für alle mobilen IP SYSCON-Anwendungen, die primär offline agieren und erweiterte GIS-Funktionalität über eine leistungsfähige Kartenkomponente auf Esri-Basis benötigen. Der technische Unterbau der mobilen Fachlösung ist komplett neu und hinsichtlich der Bedürfnisse der Anwender optimiert. Dadurch lassen sich nun große Datenmengen deutlich schneller verarbeiten und der Synchronisationsprozess mit dem zentralen Server wurde ebenso beschleunigt. Zudem wurde die Benutzerführung ganz neu aufgesetzt und durch die Unterstützung der Hochschule in Osnabrück für den Anwender hinsichtlich des Aufbaus, der Optik und der Gewohnheiten bei der Bedienung von Apps maßgeblich optimiert. Die erarbeitete Umsetzung wurde im August 2020 in Kooperation mit der Hochschule Osnabrück mit einem international renommierten Preis, dem Red Dot-Award, ausgezeichnet. Die Mindestversion pit-Kommunal ist V24.2.*
