The New Year brings exciting new enhancements for Incident Command Software ICR: Fire and Rescue™
Incidentcontrolroom.com® (ICR) are pleased to announce a major new release of their ICR: Fire and Rescue™ application developed specifically for the Fire & Rescue service across Ireland and the UK. The new enhancements & features will be accessible to all customers from 1st February 2016, and in many cases will be automatically updated on tablets. Through intelligent investment and product development, ICR: Fire and Rescue™ is continuously making significant enhancements of its incident command software, which is well known for giving Incident Commanders complete confidence when recording their incident command decision logs.
The additional features of the latest release are derived from developing customer requirements and feedback, as well as key industry drivers.
“Customer partnerships is a key driver for our business, as our customers have a strong input into the development and direction of our products. The “ICR: User Group” in particular, is held twice a year to bring together our customers for a one day workshop. Here we have the opportunity as a group, to discuss the product, understand how our products are being used and then agree a roadmap for the delivery of key features. By doing this, we maintain a single software system, and have a clear development roadmap strategy to meet the needs of our customers. The success of the user groups has been seen in Ireland where in less than a year, we’re now working with more than 50% of the sector.” David McCarthy, Incidentcontrolroom.com® Founder & CEO.
By using state of the art, reliable and resilient mobile technology ICR: Fire and Rescue™ ensures your Incident Commanders should be able to provide reasoned justification for their decisions when responding to incidents.
