What are the Key Factors to Consider When Evaluating Console Vendors?

Public Safety projects (or any major control room upgrades) usually only come around every 20-30 years. They are a huge investment, especially if you’re looking at a new building, brownfield renovation, consolidation or regionalization. It can easily become overwhelming when considering all the factors and players that need to be involved. With over 40 years of experience in mission-critical environments, Evans has found that as subject matter experts in our field, we needed to evolve our offerings to include more full-scale project solutions, not just the place you sit. Consider Evans full consulting, architectural, and construction services for your next project...and here’s why!
