Fribourg Cantonal Police already chose Techwan to develop its resource planning, reporting system, assisted inquiry software and personal management software. All these modules will create a police information system.

 

Stratus Technologies, which manufactures very high-availability servers, has joined forces with Techwan a software company to offer key players in the public security and safety sector an optimal emergency operations management solution. This solution, which should quickly be deployed in France, has already been adopted by the Geneva International Airport Security and Safety Department and the Geneva Fire and Emergency Services Authority.

THE FT SERVER RANGE AND THE SAGA SOLUTION: A WINNING COMBINATION

Having manufactured very high-availability servers for more than 20 years (with the guarantee of less than 5 minutes of total outage time per year), Stratus Technologies now announces its partnership with Techwan, the Swiss software company that manures the SAGA application, which manages alarm systems for emergency intervention units. SAGA allows for the co-ordination of all emergency forces, including fire brigades, mobile emergency medical services, police forces, airport safety departments, industrial sites, etc. This solution is constructed around a 'pivotal' database that simultaneously contains the operational context (events and related intervention procedures), the resources (internal and external personnel, means of intervention), the geobase (geographical database), the mapping (images and maps), and archived information (journal and statistics). Deployed on a very high-availability Stratus Technologies server, this solution offers key players involved with public security and safety the highest degree of reliability when it comes to co-ordinating emergency intervention forces. This is an excellent product that can satisfy the requirements of national emergency call (112) centres.
