Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today it has launched its
New World CrewForce™ mobile application for licensed users of
its New World public safety™ software. The application,
available on the iOS platform for iPad® and iPhone®,
puts mobile capabilities into the hands of fire crews from the moment
they are dispatched to a fire emergency.
New World CrewForce uses Google® Street View along with Esri®-powered
maps to provide users with the contextual awareness they need, so they
know what to expect on the scene of a fire. New World CrewForce
customizes the information it provides based on the user and that
person's role in the emergency, delivering the right information at the
right time.
"We developed the New World CrewForce application to be extremely
intuitive in an emergency," said Brian Leary, Tyler's vice president of
software strategy and development for New World. "That means the
application knows where users are located and what information they need
as they need it. Plus, with the ability to understand spoken commands
and read call narratives to users, it really acts as another member of
the emergency response team, which is great for all those who travel
alone to emergencies."
New World CrewForce has several key features and benefits to assist
first responders, such as:
- Immediate two-way communication: New WorldCrewForce
acts like a virtual assistant, understanding spoken commands and
replying to users in real time. The application can also read the
computer-aided dispatch (CAD) narrative to users as needed.
- Streamlined response: New WorldCrewForce helps users
communicate with each other and displays the estimated time of arrival
of everyone involved in a response. This is especially helpful in a
severe fire situation where there may be several crews responding to
the emergency. The application's chat feature also provides crews with
an extra method of communicating easily.
- Portability: New World CrewForce is more portable than a
mounted, ruggedized laptop located in rescue vehicles. With many
career and volunteer firefighters already using iPhones, this
application provides a useful tool on a familiar device that is easily
accessible.
- Lower cost: The ability to have New World CrewForce on an iPad
or iPhone provides a cost savings to users as these devices are
typically less expensive than the ruggedized laptops traditionally
used by fire crews.
"We're thrilled to introduce the New World CrewForce application for our
New World public safety clients, and we expect that it will provide
significant benefits to them and their citizens," said Greg Sebastian,
president of Tyler's Public Safety Division. "The launch of this
application supports our commitment to developing leading technology for
first responders and enhancing the safety of our clients and the
communities they serve."
