NederlandsDo you want to know which solutions we can provide in the government sector?
June 13, 2019
With the European elections having passed just a few weeks ago, we'd like to focus this month on one of the sectors where our open platform Sky-Walker is actively being used because of its ability to turn complexity into simplicity: the governmental sector.
The government is an atypical sector
The government is a sector that is very different from most other sectors like industry, retail, events and so on. Most often, even security, safety and comfort projects are carried out via public tenders, resulting in a tangle of different kinds of subsystems, from different suppliers and installation companies. Also, the government sector is characterized by many different types of buildings and instances. Think of ministries and town halls, public squares, military campuses, prisons and administrative services. Often spread throughout different counties and cities, the challenge for security and logistic managers to control and monitor all personnel, visitors, suppliers and systems is ever rising. And that’s without the added stress of an emergency situation.
Vendor independence: a must for governmental projects
The government sector is often characterized by the different tenders and projects. As projects can be won by different companies, different system brands will be installed as well. Luckily, o ur software platform, Sky-Walker, is capable of integrating all subsystems from different vendors into one, intuitive and completely customizable user interface. The result? Operators no longer need to have knowledge of all these interfaces, and need only be trained in one, Sky-Walker. In cases of emergency, the response times are faster and the evacuations times shorter, which benefits a sector characterized by large groups of people a lot. This makes it a lot easier to control all the different types of building a (local) government uses.The types of systems we typically connect to our platform originate from 3 main domains:
Discover hidden values with interactions between systems
A great example of the added value of interactions in the government sector are for example automatically switched cameras in case of an alarm. Think of a museum or office spaces in which a broken window generates an alarm to Sky-Walker, while simultaneously switching to the camera’s that are pointed in the direction of the broken window. The operator does not need to search for the camera within the extensive list of all cameras and knows right away what is happening at the window. All this is previously automated in the Sky-Walker configuration and can be changed later on as well. Also, in case of an alarm like this, every situation and every step taken can be reconstructed via extensive reporting.In summary
The use of Sky-Walker can benefit the government sector in more ways than can even be written down here. The opportunities are endless. A comfortable, safe and secure environment in government buildings and campuses does not need to be something of the future. The Sky-Walker platform will connect to all existing and future systems, resulting in a truly smart solution.
