ESSEX, ENGLAND, September 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) This was a joint submission with Guy's and St Thomas NHS Trust who describes Incident Log as "A superb piece of software that even in its first iteration is probably one of the biggest steps forward in major incident response for years''.
Incident Log revolutionises the way that organisations record, retain, manage and audit information during incidents. By increasing transparency across single and multi-agency events Incident Log improves the quality of content together with the availability of auditable and admissible records. The award submission demonstrates how Vocal achieved objectives in partnership with Guy's and St Thomas NHS Trust from identification of a problem, through the design and development stages and ultimately with the product, delivering tangible benefits during a trust wide live exercise.
Incident Log is the latest addition to the award winning iModus suite of products which was launched in 2008. iModus is a global notification and on demand messaging solution which includes incident management, business continuity management, lone worker and crisis line applications.
This prestigious award proves Vocal's dedication to introducing innovative yet practical products to the industry. Trevor Wheatley-Perry, Managing Director of Vocal commented, "We are delighted that Incident Log has been recognised by the industry. Winning this award is a great achievement and recognition for the whole Vocal team".
The latest addition to Incident Log; a mobile application which enables users to access and manage the system from any mobile device was launched with great success at the Disaster Recovery Journal's Fall World show in San Diego, USA during the 9th - 11th September 2012.
As well as being implemented within the NHS, Incident Log was selected and used extensively by the Cross-sector Safety and Security Communications Partnership (www.cssc.gb.com) for the London 2012 games. This unique partnership between the Metropolitan Police Service, the Home Office, London First, and business sector groups have included iModus in their new communication process which will continue after the London 2012 games as a lasting enhancement to safety and security in the capital.
The winners of the UK Emergency Planning Society's Resilience Awards were announced on Wednesday 19th September at a gala dinner in Northamptonshire.
