Winchester, MA (PRWEB) May 25, 2009 -- The UASI (Urban Area Security Initiative) Conference is dedicated to providing opportunities for the exchange of information regarding all aspects of Homeland Security technology, procedures and policies. The UASI conference, now in its fifth year, brings officials from every UASI region together with representatives of the Department of Homeland Security, consultants in management, academic experts and vendors. The objective is to give attendees the widest possible access to the thinking, methods, tools and funding that are transforming America's approach to preserving public safety.

VirtualAgility's software solutions are already in place in the States of Missouri and New Jersey, as well as in Canada and the Republic of South Africa. By enabling secure information sharing with robust permissioning, VirtualAgility systems overcome traditional barriers to multi-agency collaboration and allow participants to plan, train, respond and recover on the same platform.

Representing VirtualAgility at the UASI Conference will be VirtualAgility's John Hughes, retired FDNY captain and former Deputy Director of the NYC Office of Emergency Management. "Having faced similar challenges, I know that VirtualAgility technology can be uniquely useful to UASI attendees, both in everyday planning and when the focus becomes operational."

VirtualAgility's OPS Center and WorkCenter are easily configurable by non-IT personnel to let users dynamically select the information and applications most relevant to their needs. Tasking comes bundled with the resources and forms necessary to do a given job. What's more, information is provided in the context of organizational policies and procedures, thus maximizing its actionable value.

According to Hughes: "VirtualAgility allows users to dynamically create and share knowledge/report boards, which is a huge advantage when it comes to organizing and combining a cross section of reports and GIS information on a single palette. As is being able to generate whatever forms you need and share them between one EOC and another. No other technology can do that."

The ability to mobilize and direct diverse organizations before, during and after a crisis is having a profound effect on results. Referring to Missouri's VirtualAgility installation, David Finch of the Missouri Emergency Response Information System (MERIS) said: "We used to respond to emergencies," "Now we manage them."

VirtualAgility president Stuart Rudolph urges everyone with responsibility for public safety to attend the UASI Conference. "The UASI event is playing a pivotal role in disseminating knowledge of the new technologies and resources available to public safety officials." The power of VirtualAgility solutions can be surprising but they are real and have been proven worldwide.

VirtualAgility's browser-based software solution enables interoperability and coordination within and among agencies to organize, plan, track and share operational activities. This open-standards technology connects incompatible systems, preserves the integrity of proprietary databases and streamlines personnel identification, location, collaboration and communications.

Interested public safety officials can schedule a conversation with John Hughes by sending him an email at jhughes(at)virtualagility.com in advance or during the conference.
