Ignorance is no excuse with situational awareness for better risk management
- Originally a military term referring to a pilot's operational status and knowledge of immediate threats, situational awareness is now a broader risk management strategy and an actual technology framework for life safety, security, environmental monitoring and mass notification. With SARA, the Situational Awareness and Response Assistant, any organization can improve communication through automated alerting. If you can read, hear and see what's happening, then you can do something about it. From a blown fuse to a life-and-death scenario, SARA helps prevent operational disruptions and speeds emergency response in any environment. Real-time and historical reports then let you analyze response times and protocols to identify problem areas. You don't know what you don't know, but with SARA you can get a wide view of what's happening in and around your organization to protect people, property, business and convenience.
Integrated alarm management and automatic mass notification SARA
- is an automated alerting engine that integrates disparate alarm and communication systems for centralized monitoring, alerting and reporting. Such unification ensures that critical data is collected, processed, analyzed and delivered to the right people so they can deal with an unfolding situation in the right way. Triggering events and the corresponding response plans are predefined in SARA's modes and actions, ensuring that real-time, detailed notifications reach key individuals, select groups/response teams or entire populations via the designated communication end points - from smartphones to digital signage and virtually any device in between. Because of our expertise in computer-telephony integration (CTI), we can make your existing networks, devices and other software systems work together, without silos, to improve communication and information flow.
