Marketing and sales of the NinJo meteorological workstation system 

NinJo has been developed over several years by the national weather services of Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, and Canada, as well as the German Armed Forces' Office for Geoinformation, known as the NinJo Development Consortium. The consortium is supported by specialized IT companies.

NinJo is a client-server system with a highly modular structure, which greatly simplifies or even provides for extensions, such as the integration of new data formats. The software is programmed entirely in Java, making it compatible with both Linux and Windows. The main tasks of NinJo are

• supporting central and decentralized weather monitoring, nowcasting, and weather forecasting
• interactive and batch-controlled product generation
• product delivery for the Internet
• support in the preparation of climate reports, and
• support in model development and verification

NinJo was originally developed mainly for the consortium members' own use. Therefore, all integrated data formats and implemented applications and layers meet the requirements of these weather services.

The partners in the NinJo developer consortium decided to establish NinJo as a pioneering presentation and production system for import, evaluation, and processing on the international market. This task was taken over by EBP in December 2006. The work required in this context included:

• Marketing and Sales
• Licensing and license management
• Maintenance and support.

Sales have been suspended since 2019 in order to restructure them fundamentally. However, EBP continues to offer implementation and training services for NinJo, which are negotiated separately with customers and are not part of the NinJo sales project.
