Event Recap: Top 5 Things We Learned from You*
*Update added on June 21st, 2022.
After talking with our Evans team members who attended NENA 2022, we put together a list of your “Hot Topics”. While some of these items have been top of mind in the industry for years, it just goes to show that we need to constantly strive to improve our offerings and make them as seamless as possible for you and your team to do this job effectively and efficiently:
Here are the Top 5 things we learned talking to public safety professionals in Kentucky:
- Health & Wellness - This is the number one topic in the public safety industry right now. Evans has implemented a strong focus on health & wellness through our EvansCare maintenance program and implementing proper ergonomics. Top-of-the-line creature comforts and lighting solutions, keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM), and quality A/V solutions that support overall dispatcher mental health are top of mind for all of us in today’s “new normal”.
- Investment in Personal Comfort - Temperature control is still a “hot” topic (no pun intended!) in your 911 center. It's not easy keeping everyone happy in any center when it comes to temperature. Giving each position a proper heater built into the console allows telecommunicators to feel comfortable and focused on the job - not the climate. Our EnviroLinc touchscreen interface, available on all our product platforms, allows you to control desktop fans, lighting, and that all-important heater through incremental adjustments that allow you to customize your console how you need it.
- Medilux Task Lighting - We introduced this lighting solution on our Response NEXTGen Console at NENA and it was a HUGE hit. This sleek and useful light replicates the pattern of the sun and allows operators to more closely match their bodies' natural circadian rhythm. This helps with alertness levels, productivity, and improves health over time.
- Weytec Cutting Edge Dispatch Room Technology - Simplifying technology for your operators by combining multiple monitors and keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) setups is always a hot topic in 911. Weytec provides a top-of-the-line KVM solution that wowed many of you at the conference! Weytec helps make your dispatch center more agnostic by reducing the need for additional consoles. This solution helps alleviate the struggles with overtime and staffing problems, allowing each operator to perform any task, dispatch, call take, NCIC, etc., at a single console with a single keyboard and proper credentials. Push and pull content with the touch of a button and let your people know what’s happening in your community instantaneously!
- Durable Consoles for 911 Emergency Centers - 911 centers do not have time to worry if their equipment will work during an upset scenario. Building a durable console, like the Evans Response NEXTGen console one that will last for 15-25 years vs one that constantly needs service or replacement within 5-10 years, does not support the proper return on investment that 911 centers need from a console project today. Funding is always an issue and while it may be more costly in the beginning, building a better console that lasts provides a greater ROI than purchasing the most cost-effective option today.
We are so excited that Public Safety tradeshows are back in full swing! It’s a wonderful opportunity to speak to you one-on-one and find out what is important to you and to the future of 911. Evans believes in continuous improvement and is constantly looking for ways to improve our product offerings to suit your everyday needs. Through our conversations with you, we gained valuable insight that helps provide the best solutions possible that are specific to the public safety industry. Thanks to you we will continue to improve with the goal of delivering these positive impacts back to you in the future
