� The continuously increasing number of SIRGAS-CON stations creates the need to divide the network in several sub-networks that are individually processed and then combined in a consistent solution.

� For that purpose it was necessary to establish new processing and combination centers with the involvement of Latin American institutions.

� Five experimental processing center (INEGI, IGAC, IBGE, IGM-A and CIMA) and two combination centers (DGFI and IBGE) were established.

� After one year period of training and validation, three experimental centers (IGAC, IBGE and CIMA) and both combination centers (DGFIand IBGE) became official after demonstrate high quality, punctuality and continuity standards.

� Five experimental centers are now in process of being validated.

� Thanks to this capacity building process, in the near future every SIRGAS country will have an in-house processing centre.
