🤗 Quiz time: What is the primary challenge of NG9-1-1 readiness?   🎯 While each answer below has unique challenges, the answer is C!  More than technology and data, NG9-1-1 is about people. Agencies nationwide must collaborate and foster new relationships, create policies, and establish governance with dozens of organizations and vendors they may have never communicated with before.    💡 To learn more about the many facets of transitioning to NG9-1-1, Check out our most recent blog titled "NG9-1-1 for everyone" and let us know what you think! https://lnkd.in/gyRBxiNM #DATAMARKTechnologies #NG911 #PublicSafety

👋 Meet VirtualView: This feature provides first responders and school stakeholders with 360-degree imagery of EVERY room in a building, and it comes standard with DATAMARK Technologies' affordable data collection services. 🧐 Why it's important: First responders often struggle to locate incidents in multi-story buildings and on school campuses. Even with mapping technology at their fingertips, they still lack the situational awareness and location intelligence necessary to respond to incidents swiftly and effectively. 👌 VirtualView, combined with INSIDE's portfolio of situational awareness features, provides 9-1-1 professionals with the contextual information required to mitigate incidents effectively. 🚀 Get the most out of your indoor mapping program.

🎉 Happy GIS Day! 🎉 At DATAMARK Technologies, we are passionate about Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the incredible impact they have on our world. Here are a few reasons why we love GIS: 🌍 Transforming Data into Insights: GIS allows us to visualize and analyze spatial data, turning complex information into actionable insights that drive better decision-making. 🚀 Enhancing Efficiency: By integrating GIS into our workflows, we streamline processes, improve accuracy, and save valuable time and resources. 🌐 Connecting Communities: GIS helps us understand and address the needs of communities by providing a clear picture of geographic and demographic trends. 🚓 Boosting Public Safety: GIS plays a crucial role in public safety by supporting the routing of 9-1-1 calls, enabling first responders to quickly and accurately locate incidents, plan efficient routes, and improve overall emergency response. Join us in celebrating the power of GIS and its role in shaping a smarter, more connected world. Happy GIS Day!

🥸 Can you spot the differences in the two images below? ⚖️ Both images represent the same school hallway, but image A is from the original CAD map the school was using and image B represents reality. 💡 As you can see, the wall and door leading into the stairwell are not depicted in the original map. Even small discrepancies in indoor mapping data can lead to big impacts during incident response. Don't wait until seconds matter most, make sure your school's #indoormaps are accurate, complete and up-to-date.

👀 True or false: indoor data collection is expensive and unapproachable. 🛑 FALSE! We often hear from clients that indoor data collection will be too costly of an option for them. The reality is that indoor data collection can be highly cost-effective and the BEST option for ensuring your indoor maps are accurate and complete. Here are some additional benefits: 🗓️ Data collection works around your schedule: Our team can collect after office hours or on holidays as to not disrupt daily operations. 🏃♀️➡️ Collection is FAST: The collection process works at lightning speed and the turnaround time is... also lightning speed 😎 🔄 It provides added location intelligence: 360-degree VirtualViews of every room are included in your deliverable. 🤯 Collection and conversion can be COMBINED: Already have some maps? Great! We can convert any existing data into floor-aware indoor maps and collect the missing pieces along the way.
