SAN RAMON, CA–(Marketwired – Jan 7, 2014) – Tiburon, Inc., a portfolio company of The Gores Group and the leading provider of public safety software solutions, today announced that it was awarded Priority Dispatch Corp’s™ Platinum level certification for its proven, multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) System, Tiburon CAD, TotalCommand Edition.
Priority Dispatch Corp’s™ (PDC) Platinum level certification was awarded after the TotalCommand Edition completed the extensive integration process with ProQA® Paramount software. PDC™ utilizes a certification process to assure end-users that their CAD’s interface will perform to the highest standards required in the industry. Both editions of Tiburon CAD — the TotalCommand Edition and the DispatchNow Edition — have now earned the Platinum certification, the top-level certification that can be awarded after undergoing rigorous testing to ensure a CAD system meets seven critical functions required to be named a certified interface.
ProQA Dispatch Software integrates the power of the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch’s protocols with today’s critical computer technologies. It helps emergency dispatchers using either Tiburon CAD solution to move smoothly through Case Entry and Key Questioning eliminating the need to re-enter the data as well as provide more accurate information to first responders in the field.
“Tiburon has shown its CAD interfaces not only handle the functionality of ProQA Paramount, but also work seamlessly with our software to provide our mutual clients the ability to perform at the highest standards in the industry,” said Brett Williams, Priority Dispatch’s® CAD Liaison and Implementation Specialist.
“Tiburon is proud to partner with PDC and mutually shares a longtime commitment to improving emergency response and personnel safety in the field.
