Voxiva partners with Microsoft on Citizen Security in Latin
America
Washington 14 March, 2006 - Microsoft announced today its initiative
to "help governments and local industry build knowledge-based economies
in underserved countries and regions" and how it is partnering with
Voxiva to provide Citizen Security services in Latin America. Speaking
at Microsoft's Government Leaders Conference (GLF) Ð Latin America
in Washington DC Gerri Elliott, corporate vice president of Worldwide
Public Sector at Microsoft , said "Our goal is to identify the most
creative and effective solutions worldwide, and work with individual
governments to adapt and implement those best practices in ways that
address the specific needs of their countries". Speaking to the 200
political, business and academic leaders from Canada, Latin America
and the United States she added "By doing so, we can help governments
worldwide enable their citizens to take advantage of the full potential
of technology".
Microsoft has partnered with Voxiva to deliver Voxiva CitizenNetTM
to the citizens of Pergamino, Argentina, a city of 114,000 in the
Province of Buenos Aires. Voxiva CitizenNetTM
enables the public not served by a traditional "911" emergency response
system to report crimes or other incidents through any type of phone.
Data is automatically captured by the system (phone number, address,
time and date) directly from the caller (category of report, description
of incident). Once an electronic incident report has been created,
it is then filtered for routing and action. Critical emergencies receive
immediate operator attention, while nonessential calls are managed
according to their priority. Voxiva CitizenNet also provides real-time
analytical tools that allow the authorities to develop crime and incident
maps, monitor crime rates, and manage response times and success rates.
"Voxiva focuses on helping governments and local authorities
implement high-value but cost-effective solutions that improve public
safety and citizen participation," said Justin Sims, CEO, Voxiva.
"Pergamino's adoption of Voxiva CitizenNet is our first deployment
in Argentina. It will provide a great example to other municipalities
here that are serious about reducing crime rates and improving responsiveness
to public concerns."
