FireRMS™ to integrate diverse information for improved operational efficiency
WALL, N.J. – BIO-key International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BKYI), the leader in finger-based biometric identification and wireless public safety solutions, has been selected to implement an enterprise-class fire records management system for the Attleboro, Massachusetts Fire Department.
The contract also includes a building an interface between the new BIO-key records system, FireRMS™, and Attleboro Fire’s existing EMS billing application; as well as implementation of FireRMS Mobile™ to collect and disseminate information to every field vehicle.
When fully implemented, the system will give Attleboro Fire unprecedented access to field data and improve administrative and operationally efficiency.
“We are exited about having just one system to manage all of our department’s records,” said Captain Skip Knox of Attleboro Fire. “Since 100 firefighters will be accessing the system, we needed a product that is intuitive, easy to use and streamlines the reporting process. FireRMS uniquely fit our requirements.” Knox went on to say that adding BIO-key’s mobile solution to the existing fire records management system will improve field efficiency and enhance both firefighter and the public’s safety. “We have selected Nextel to be our wireless provider” continued Knox, “Nextel and BIO-key have a strong and long relationship with an impressive list of satisfied deployed customers.”
Commenting on the award, Michael Layman, BIO-key’s General Manager for Fire solutions, said, “Attleboro’s decision to implement FireRMS and our mobile solution will ensure that first responders have the information to do their jobs safely and more efficiently. Whether they are simply collecting vital data or accessing mission-critical information, FireRMS will provide the right information to the right people at the right time.”
When the system is fully implemented, Fire personnel will benefit from having streamlined incident reporting, full compliance with national reporting guidelines and simplified database management.
