Details

Our company, SimsUshare, develops a hybrid app/web platform that training officers in municipal and industrial organizations use to create simulations of potential incidents, in order to train personnel to respond based on best practice and their Operating Procedures or guidelines. We recently identified a new market opportunity -- using our simulation software as part of incident pre-planning.

Organizations, particularly with industrial and municipal hazard mitigation responsibilities, are often mandated to create pre-plans that will assist in potential responses to incidents. We have a few customers who have started to use our training software to produce pre-plans as well, integrating our web-based simulations into web-based pre-planning software. We have initiated conversations about integration with one major pre-planning software vendor, but we would like to use this project to assess the landscape of other vendors with similar capabilities. We could very easily see our software become the 'go to' technology for helping organizations create visual walkthroughs for their pre-plans, and, by extension, using the software for incident training.
