Stephen Martini, director at Williamson Co. (TN) Dept. of Emergency Communications discovered Aladtec while attending a communicator's conference in Denver.
"We were walking the show floor, and I just said -- 'Look. I'm tired of hearing complaints from the supervisors about the scheduling software. We're here. There are vendors here that serve this community. Let's go find our solution'", recalled Martini. "The demonstration blew me away."
