5 critical areas emergency response solutions must address

Efficient, effective emergency response is critical to public safety. In an ever-changing world, more challenges arise every day for our first responders, from 911 triage and dispatch operations to response to incidents from multiple agencies.

To ensure the highest levels of service, the following five areas must be addressed:

  1. Modernizing of legacy systems
  2. Integrating different protocols and communications channels across jurisdictions
  3. Increasing effective information-sharing through cross-agency identity and access
  4. Uniting disparate processes, systems, and data types
  5. Transforming cultures resistant to change

With the fast-moving dynamics of the current landscape and cyber threats looming, one of the most effective and secure ways to address these challenges is moving to a cloud solution. To make things less overwhelming, many organizations transition in a modular fashion, slowly moving systems to cloud-based solutions utilizing a hybrid model. Some agencies use a more comprehensive approach with a complete process and system transformation.
