Solutions | ViewPointe CAD-to-CAD

Over the past several years, the growth rate of incidents far surpass the budget increases for first responder agencies. This growth results in an increased dependency to leverage first responder resources and equipment from neighboring agencies. The ViewPointe CAD-to-CAD solution will provide interoperability of the existing CAD systems, improve the process of requesting agency partner aid and provide the best possible incident response to the incident.  

ViewPointe CAD-to-CAD enables dispatchers to quickly determine available resources closest to the incident from any participating agency within the CAD-to-CAD network.  Custom icons indicate the type of resource and specific personnel skills to ensure the best available resource for the specific incident is dispatched.

ViewPointe CAD-to-CAD supports automatic aid, mutual aid and catastrophic incident requests.  During a widespread incident, it is critical to quickly access information from many locations and many devices. ViewPointe CAD-to-CAD provides real-time access to emergency responder resource and unit availability; incident details and other critical information to be quickly shared across all authorized users of the system quickly allowing dispatchers to determine available resources closest to the incident. Access to CAD data is typically limited to the dispatch center; ViewPointe CAD-to-CAD extends this view to critical command resources in diverse locations. The ViewPointe CAD-to-CAD dashboard can simultaneously be viewed and updated at the Dispatch Center, Incident Command Post, EOC, or any other authorized location. This real-time information is quickly accessible by all incident stakeholders, ready for use in planning, logistics, and tactical response activities.
