Horizon Event Management Environment
 The Right Information, in the Right Hands, at the Right Time™

 

The Horizon Event Management Environment is a powerful, proven system designed for use by Fire, Police, EMS, Public Works, Transit, Utilities, and others. The EME enables  departments to better respond to and manage in-field events, and to enjoy transparent and responsible sharing of information between all users and agencies in real time. This results in unprecedented situational awareness, efficiency, interoperability and safety at all stages of incident response and service delivery. 

Case Study:
Public Safety Dispatch, AVL, and Mobile Data

Case Study:
Transit Schedule Adherence

Case Study:
Multi-Agency 911 Dispatch

A Wide Range of Applications

With over 20 individually configurable modules, the Horizon EME provides a host of advanced event-based applications such as dispatch, GPS/AVL, mobile data, schedule adherence, and remote site monitoring.

True Multi-Departmental Capability

All applications in the Horizon EME are individually and dynamically customizable on a user-by-user, department-by-department, and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis to reflect different workflows, data requirements, missions, responsibilities and needs.

One Point of Entry, One Point of Access

The Horizon EME provides a unified platform or “environment”, within which applications can intelligently share data and distribute information wherever it’s required, throughout and between different users and departments, using both traditional and wireless networks. 

Integration with Third-Party Systems

The Horizon EME is an open system, designed to integrate seamlessly with third-party technologies, and enabling transparent sharing of information between the EME and outside applications, databases, and remote systems.  This includes GPS and GIS systems, Record Management Systems, alarm monitoring receivers, digital voice loggers, billing systems, and many more.

Optimized for Distributed Computing

The EME’s highly advanced and versatile client-server architecture is optimized to provide distributed computing solutions over low bandwidth connections. Different applications and system components are able to access information from many different sources and across many different networks simultaneously.

HOW IT ALL WORKS

Powerful Self-Customization Capability

The EME’s intuitive GUI-based Configuration Module enables administrators to dynamically customize, update and control all aspects of system security, look and feel, data and workflow, on a user-by-user, group-by-group, department-by-department, and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.  This ensures the system’s ability to reflect each department’s evolving needs, and avoids forced reliance on the vendor.

Open, Standard Architecture

The EME is a fully COTS system, designed in Visual C++ and utilizing common, industry standard conventions (ODBC, XML, HTML, TCP/IP, SQL, and others). The EME runs on standard “Wintel” infrastructure (Intel-based PC’s, Windows 2000/XP), and utilizes standard “enterprise”-level DBMS, such as MS SQL Server.  This ensures an open, scalable and extensible system that can be easily integrated with your existing and future installed base of third-party technologies.

Reliable, Secure, and Safe

The EME is an extremely robust mission critical system, in service with a number of public safety, transit, and other agencies throughout North America.  In addition to its inherent stability, the EME can be configured on a range of fault tolerant hardware systems to ensure full data redundancy and failover protection.

The EME features a graduated username/password log-on schema that enables administrators to set individual user permissions, and to restrict access to sensitive information and functions. The system also records what actions are taken by what user, at what time, to provide a full time-stamped audit trail.  This provides full control over system and data access, ensuring that each user is presented with an EME configuration appropriate to their needs and responsibilities.
