This selection will improve performance and efficiencies of the Kansas City Kansas Police Department (KCKPD), Kansas City Kansas Fire Department (KCKFD), and Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office, according to KCKPD Information Systems Manager Larry Owens.
Aegis will also help agencies reduce their time spent creating reports and accessing information, increase availability of public safety personnel to residents, and improve information sharing with the community.
"Our public safety agencies wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to improve performance and efficiencies as well as utilize new technologies and capabilities that New World's solution promises to deliver," Owens said. "New World's ability to integrate various disparate databases into a single collaborative solution was the key functionality required in selecting a new software system provider."
The KCKPD, KCKFD, and Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office performed a two-year Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The RFP committee narrowed its selection to four vendors before selecting New World.
"Our requirements in selecting a vendor included a company with a proven public safety track record that could be verified by current customers," Owens said. "In addition, we also wanted the vendor we selected to possess financial stability and the ability to respond to our specific needs, and New World does."
Owens said the county's search committee was especially confident in its decision to select New World after receiving positive feedback about the public safety software provider from several agencies including those in Saline County, KS and Buchanan County, MO.
"The public safety agencies of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County look forward to networking with other New World Customers," Owens said. "We expect this interaction to enhance our experience while at the same time positively impacting the development of future functionality."
