You know the basics of Next Generation 9-1-1, your community is looking at converging technologies and making some changes in your networking and call routing, and you are, quite frankly, a bit overwhelmed! Between budget considerations, technical planning, operational planning, and governance issues, there is great deal to accomplish before an NG9-1-1 system can be fully implemented. But what is your transition plan? Is there an order to move in or a checklist to make sure you do everything that needs to be done?

 

Come to this class and learn some transition strategies for planning your migration to Next Generation 9-1-1. Whether you are going the baby-steps route or looking to do it all at once, we will talk you through the creation of a master plan for this major change that is occurring in our industry.

These courses demonstrate how the ever-evolving technological landscape will affect all aspects of 9-1-1 operations, systems, and public policy.
