HOUSTON — Raptor Technologies, the leading provider of school safety software, announced today the release of Raptor® Connect™, an integration platform that allows 3rd parties to link with Raptor® Alert, a mobile panic button. The partner program enables other digital school safety providers to easily integrate their safety solutions to send and receive emergency alerts from Raptor. This integration creates a comprehensive emergency management solution for the large and growing number of school districts adopting Raptor Emergency Management.
Raptor is working closely with select partners to develop a network of Raptor® Ready providers who will help schools create a unified, integrated emergency management solution. Key partners who are launching integrations at the time of this announcement include Alertus (Mass Notification), Intralogic (Systems Integrator), Vivi (Digital Display), and ZeroEyes (Gun Detection). Additionally, Raptor has already launched an integration with Mutualink (Communications Integration). Raptor will add additional partners in the coming months.
“Raptor Connect is a significant step forward in creating a holistic approach to school safety,” said Gray Hall, CEO, Raptor Technologies. “The Raptor Connect integration platform enables school districts to leverage current and future safety peripherals and software. This will create a more effective safety ecosystem and better protect staff and students.”
Integrating safety devices and technologies across a campus provides an additional layer of security by allowing once siloed safety systems to operate together, reducing response time to an emergency. The Raptor® Connect integration platform acts as the hub, allowing districts to automate safety procedures and initiate multiple digital emergency response mechanisms from a single point. These response mechanisms include cameras, AI gun detection, fire and smoke detection, alarms, speakers, IoT devices, smart boards, access control, communication devices and more. Raptor Connect ultimately helps increase the value of a district’s current safety investment through advanced interoperability.
The Raptor team, through Raptor Connect, is focused on creating an open, flexible, and user-friendly platform for the School Safety industry. Through this new partner program, Raptor will work with best-in-class companies to join the Raptor Ready ecosystem of partners.
