Portland, OR (PRWEB) March 03, 2015 -- eSolutions Consulting, a business and IT consultancy company in Ghana, and Swan Island Networks, a leading developer of cloud-based agile situational intelligence software and services, announced a partnership today to offer situational intelligence and alerting solutions for government leaders and emergency response, law enforcement, military or health officials across Ghana and other West African countries to make better, faster and more informed decisions and respond to crisis or optimize their daily operations.
The partnership between eSolutions Consulting and Swan Island Networks enables government and private sector organizations to better prepare for and respond to disasters or health emergencies using TIES for Microsoft CityNext solutions running on the Microsoft Azure cloud.
