New Emergency Management System Helps Ensure the Safety of Albertans

Tags:
application servers

Overview TELUS Geomatics developed an Emergency Management System (EMS) to ensure the safety and security of the residents of Alberta, Canada. The EMS combines two applications, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system in Vancouver, and a hosted global information system called TELUS GeoExplorer. Because of the critical nature of the system, it was imperative that the connection software that linked the applications be secure and reliable. To meet this need, TELUS selected Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 to link GeoExplorer and the IVR application together. Working with 5 by 5 Software Ventures Ltd. and Microsoft Services, TELUS Geomatics completed the Emergency Management System in three weeks, on time and on budget.
