The award honors “outstanding performance and achievement"

The Institute of Public Administration New Zealand (IPANZ) presented the New Zealand Police and the New Zealand Fire Service, both Intergraph customers, with its annual excellence in networked government award. The award honors “outstanding performance and achievement in the use of information and communications technologies and networks in the daily business of government.”

The New Zealand Police and New Zealand Fire Service, as well as St. John Emergency Communications and Central Emergency Communications, were recognized for their use of technology to transfer of real-time incident data between emergency services agencies, regardless of the CAD provider. This successful transmission of data has facilitated faster multi-agency dispatch and incident response to save lives and protect property throughout New Zealand.
