Abstract
Overview
Introduction
A systemic inability to collaborate across jurisdictions, disciplines and
levels of government contribute to first responders' lack of interoperability.
Two dominant governance models have emerged as governments address their
interoperability issues - statewide plans and regional consortia. This report
evaluates each model and provides advice to vendors developing go-to-market
strategies.
Scope
- Based on a panel of North American state and local public safety agencies
- Analysis of statewide communications interoperability plans and regional
interoperability consortia
Report Highlights
For public safety agencies, true interoperability relies on compatible or
interconnected communications technology as well as policy structures that
support collaboration with external organizations.
Vendors must recognize that technology is only one component in an intricate
process towards interoperability. It is therefore imperative that vendors
understand the governance structures developed by state and local governments
to support interoperability and tailor their solutions to suit each potential
customer.
Reasons to Purchase
- Understand the governance models adopted by public safety agencies to
improve interoperability
- Validate your market messaging and positioning in the public safety market
- Tailor your state and local solutions strategy to address specific pain
