emergency collaboration.

SDI implements systems that help organizations manage crises more effectively using web-based collaboration systems. These portals allow organizations to manage incidents and emergencies in an online, secure collaboration space that keeps everyone connected and informed as events unfold. Emergency collaboration systems allow managers to assign tasks, track progress, and disseminate information. Other users can post comments, pictures, and respond to managers' task requests to keep managers up to date on events. These systems have proven invaluable in dealing with the information overload that often occurs in an emergency situations.

SDI recently implemented a pilot of an emergency management and collaboration system for one of the country's largest cities. The system links public safety, city departments, and transportation into a single emergency response capability that allows them to collaborate in real time on wide area emergency events.
