Regional emergency response centres are consolidating and rationalising to create centralised command and control centres.
Emergency services face an increasing challenge: improve service and public confidence whilst working under a shrinking budget.
Past cuts have shown that our services have been forced to do more with less and, for the foreseeable future, the cuts will continue. Never before has value for money been so important.
4net’s work with the emergency services has seen us partner with leading organisations across this sector. Collaboration tools, mobile devices and contact centre solutions can drive major improvements in service delivery, as well as producing efficiencies. We transform contact centre operations to deliver major cost savings and improved service quality.
4net Technologies have supported Cheshire Fire and Rescue’s Avaya services across our HQ and fire stations since 2014. In 2016/17 Cheshire Fire and Rescue’s IT department merged with Cheshire Police and relocated to a Joint Police & Fire HQ. 4net worked with us through a series of workshops and discussions to design a solution to upgrade the Cheshire Fire Service Avaya applications and migration our ISDN services to SIP which reduced costs and increased resilience and improved the efficiency of both organisations.

Loc8me communicates the exact location with photos and video of caller without the need for an app.
