| Source: PlantCML
TEMECULA, CA--(Marketwire - December 8, 2009) - PlantCML® announces the ORION™ ARIES® computer-aided dispatch (CAD)
solution Integration Certification from Priority Dispatch Corporation™,
purveyors of ProQA medical, fire and police dispatch.
The industry renowned certification was established over 12 years ago. A
new certification process was recently instituted to improve
implementations and customer satisfaction as a result of technology and
industry demands. Of the three levels of certification, Priority Dispatch
Corporation only supports those running on Certified Interfaces, as with
the ORION ARIES solution.
"The ORION ARIES CAD solution is now certified for medical, fire and police
agencies by Priority Dispatch Corporation. That provides our customers with
a common CAD platform that can serve all their emergency response
management needs and reduce their operational costs while enabling true
interoperability between agencies. It's always great to have our CAD
offering recognized for its outstanding performance and functionality by
such a recognized industry leader like Priority Dispatch," said Ian McGraw,
chief technology officer, PlantCML.
Priority Dispatch Corporation focuses on developing a certified and
seamless integration to a CAD or Telco system to enhance the two products
and enable everyone to more effectively utilize standardized call-taking
within the client's environment. By providing a Certified Interface, the
end-user can rest assured that the two products will perform to the high
standards required in our industry.
Priority Dispatch Corporation is the only dispatch system provider with an
in-house research and development organization and the approval of a
recognized body of industry experts, the National Academies of Emergency
Dispatch.
The ORION ARIES solution offers an intuitive user interface delivering
incident data directly to the desktop. Emergency call takers can track
every resource, view premise history, access supplemental information
(e.g., unit recommendations, SOPs, HAZMAT instructions). Information is
provided on demand allowing operator performance to be instantly enhanced
and response capabilities dramatically improved.
Additionally, the ORION™ ARIES® solution offers such standard features
as duplicate call detection, multiple incident display and browser-based
reporting. Its modern, multi-tier architecture accommodates integration
with third-party software, including ESRI-based shape files. It is deployed
with existing PlantCML VESTA® call processing solutions and
NightHawk™, the fully integrated mobile data component of the Integrated
Dispatch Solution (IDS), further reducing support costs and eliminating the
need for additional equipment.
