Austin, TX, May 7, 2019 – RapidDeploy, the market leader in Cloud Aided Dispatch software, and RapidSOS, the trusted platform for connecting additional data from the Internet of Things to public safety, announced today that RapidDeploy was certified as a RapidSOS Platinum Integration Partner.

RapidDeploy is the first company to complete RapidSOS’ rigorous certification process that requires a comprehensive integration of additional data from the RapidSOS Clearinghouse across the entire solution suite. By using the power of Cloud Aided Dispatch and RapidDeploy’s patented Emergency Data Gateway, RapidDeploy makes all additional data feeds from RapidSOS immediately available to all customers without any interface fees, version requirements or long implementations.

“We’re democratizing Public Safety by making location and all other data types from RapidSOS available to every customer as a standard feature,” says Steven Raucher, CEO and Co-Founder of RapidDeploy, “We firmly believe that better situational awareness saves lives and should not be contingent on costly interface fees and complicated version upgrades.”

“America’s 9-1-1 Telecommunicators do heroic work managing 240 million emergencies annually with little more than a voice connection,” said Michael Martin, CEO and Co-Founder of RapidSOS, “We’re excited to deepen our partnership with RapidDeploy, a Public Safety innovator who shares our mission to save lives through transformative technology.”

The Platinum Partner certification marks an important milestone in the partnership between RapidDeploy and RapidSOS, which was first announced in June 2017. Both companies believe that the rapid adoption of new technology will improve emergency response times, increase situational awareness, and ultimately save lives.
