IDV Solutions Releases Storm Response System
May 31, 2007

Just in time for hurricane season, IDV Solutions is offering a quick start Storm Response System that aids organizations in planning, preparing, responding and driving action in the event of severe weather. The offering is a map-based, dashboard solution that enables crisis managers to gain a big picture view of weather - and its potential impact on people and facilities - more clearly and quickly than ever before.

As the threat of the 2007 hurricane season begins, companies and governments with assets and employees in the Gulf coast region are concerned about how this season will impact their business. The hurricane season of 2005 brought unprecedented levels of destruction, and to many organizations this was a wake-up call regarding the impact of a severe storm system.

Although there is no way to prevent the effects that hurricanes can have on an organization, there are ways to better prepare for hurricane impact. IDV Solutions' Storm Response System helps prepare for approaching storms by enabling them to view assets and employees in relation to developing weather systems in a secure, spatially-enabled, interactive portal. The solution also allows collaboration on approaching storms, resulting in improved response time and more efficient decision making.

The Storm Response System leverages IDV Solutions' Visual Fusion Suite™ as well as Microsoft technologies including Virtual Earth, SharePoint Server 2007 and SQL Server 2005. The result is a highly visual, hosted, browser-based solution that enables companies to capitalize on their data and other third party data sources such as web mapping services and GeoRSS feeds.

Now companies can stay ahead of storm threats with a quick start, low cost Storm Response System before moving into full implementation.
