Echo ePublic Address

The real value to the Emergency Planning Manager is having the tools available to allow genuine management and intervention to take place and strategies to be implemented. Echo is designed to deliver the information and actions when they are needed, where they are needed.

Warning and Informing - Echo web page and multi media communication capability gives an in-house tool for warning and informing the public. It can be updated real time and may contain, for instance, contact lists for vulnerable people, care homes, critical business's etc.

Real time management - Many best laid plans fall down due to speed and lack of communication. Web based solution allows information to be dispersed real time across the internet.

Information sharing - Pre planned links can be built in to strategies ensuring partner agencies are kept constantly informed.

Resource deployment - 70% of policemen are off duty at any one time. Delays in deploying specialist teams can be expensive and critical. Echo bulk SMS, e-mail and telephone service will instantly contact many hundreds of people and measure response. A few minutes saved in helicopter time at £30k per hour can be significant!

Integrated mapping - The integrated mapping tool can be used in real time to keep visual information current. Spot the dead end diversion before the queue develops!

Business Continuity - The critical systems must work at critical times. Every one knows the story of the principal servers situated in a basement, which was the first thing to flood. Cloud Amber web based off-site hosting ensures infra structure is available when you most need it. The system continues to operate independent of your physical infrastructure.

Software integration - As an independent software house Cloud Amber can take many disparate systems and produce one, user friendly interface. Again delivering information at the point of need. No more "constant clicking" to get to the item you need now. Cloud Amber are providing the "glue" to your disparate systems.

Project engineering - Cloud Amber professional engineers will work with your operational staff to tailor the solution to their specific requirement. You get what you want to deliver your operations.

These are a brief outline of the capabilities of a sophisticated software solution which Cloud Amber can tailor to your individual needs.

Our in-house software engineering team are available to configure systems to suit your exact operational requirement.
