Interoperability and service solutions for stakeholders & first responder organizations in the public safety and crisis and disaster management domains.

Over the past decades many "isolated information technology solutions" have been developed within the field of crisis and disaster management, which very specifically describe, interpret and present information for each organization. So far, it has been a particular challenge for different organizations to exchange information with one another based on different IT systems.

The new Public Safety Hub (PSH) platform enables the seamless exchange of information between federated systems of different organizations (both military and civil IT systems). The PSH improves the cooperation of emergency services, volunteer organizations and citizens for the effective management of disasters. This is even more important because when coping with disasters, processes and processes between the operating task forces must be harmonized and synchronized.

The special technological architecture of the new platform includes the secure and flexible data exchange between most diverse organizations without creating numerous dependencies and without creating single points of failures. Such a modern and flexible communication platform can easily bundle separate competencies and ensure a highly secure and efficient cooperation of different organizations in crisis situations. Fully automated data exchange between the information systems is thus ensured. This will make it possible in the future to cope with major events and catastrophes even faster and to send help to the right places even more quickly and precisely.

The PSH's federated design reflects the resilience and division of responsibilities needs of the CM and other public safety domains. This is especially reflected in the following design qualities:

AIT’s Public Safety Hub was awarded with the eAward as the best eGorvernment solution in 2020.
