DATAMARK Selected to Support Transition to Next Generation 9-1-1 in Four Arizona Counties and One Tribal Nation

DATAMARK, the public safety geographic information systems (GIS) team of Michael Baker International, announced today that four counties and one tribal nation within Arizona have selected the firm for significant Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) projects. Executed in partnership with TerraSystems Southwest, DATAMARK’s GIS services partner in Arizona, the project includes Navajo, Apache, Cochise and Coconino counties, as well as the White Mountain Apache Tribe. The approximately $400,000 contract is set for completion in February 2022.

Each locality will deploy the DATAMARK VEP Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution as a means for GIS data creation, remediation and validation. DATAMARK VEP is the only cloud-native solution built for public safety GIS. The software solution provides a highly configurable, user-friendly interface to perform location data validations, make edits and implement quality control in alignment with National Emergency Number Association (NENA) NG9-1-1 data standards and GIS industry best practices. DATAMARK VEP supports data from local and regional GIS data providers and neighboring 9-1-1 authorities, ensuring seamless and accurate data across borders. In addition, the localities will have access to DATAMARK MSAG Generator, the company’s most recent product on the market designed to create a spatially accurate Master Street Address Guide (MSAG).
