FirstResponse911 improves efficiency by leaps and bounds

We've had great success with this product and often encourage other agencies to get on board so that we can further benefit from communicating with a broader group.

PROS

We have been using FR911 in our center for a few years and were amazed by how it so positively impacted our workflow. We're a relatively small Emergency Communications Center for how large our call volume and population is, and when we find a product that helps us to exchange information more efficiently with other agencies, we definitely take an interest. We love that the chat feature allows us to remain on a 9-1-1 call with a caller having an emergency without having to put them on hold to relay information to another agency, such as how to get to a complicated address or that the situation has become dangerous.

CONS

Prior to the last upgrade there was an issue with the chat window falling behind our other software and along with some other feedback, that issue was resolved by creating a user setting as well as a few other optional settings. The technicians in charge of working with us as customers did an excellent job in tailoring to product to fit our needs.

Reason for choosing FirstResponse911

Prior to the latest big upgrade we were using the product mostly for the chat function. It has worked so well for us that there hasn't been a reason to shop for anything else, in my opinion.

Vendor Response

Thanks, Jennifer! We are glad that we were able to address your concerns.

FirstResponse911

PROS

FirstResponse911 has streamlined the emergency call taking process for us. We have cut back tremendously on the number of phone calls we have to answer, improved call entry and response time, and also cut back on the errors that occur when taking an emergency call verbally. We are also able to quickly message the PSAPs that also use this software rather than calling them for any questions we have regarding a call. I recommend this software to every 911 director that we transport with. I can't overstate how FirstResponse911 has improved our efficiency, reduced our errors, and improved our overall response times leading to better patient care.

CONS

FirstResponse911 does have a small learning curve when you first start utilizing the software. At no fault of their own, implementation can also be difficult. The software has to be individualized to every center's personal CAD system, which will have some bugs or issues early on. However, their customer support team is always available and willing to assist when these issues arise.

Vendor Response

Justin - thank you for acknowledging our customer support team. They work extremely hard to deliver a great experience for our customers.

9-1-1 Dispatch Center

I'm a big fan of automating as much as possible to relieve some of the burden from my telecommunicators, this product does that very well.

PROS

Integration to our CAD makes outbound telephone calls to the ambulance service almost obsolete. Almost all of our information traffic to the ambulance service is automated.

CONS

For smaller centers that are on a tight budget the cost is difficult to offset.

Vendor Response

Thanks, Neal! We appreciate your business!

Straight forward and efficient tool

Excellent. FirstReponse911 greatly reduces the number of inbound phone call allowing our emergency dispatcher to operate more efficiently. The software also reduces the call intake time to seconds, instead of a minute over the phone. The ability to customize keywords alerts helps keep the commutations center aware of status changes or safety concerns. The FirstResponse911 team is very responsive and able to accommodate our configuration adjustments quickly.

PROS

The software is very easy to install and implement across a large communications center. It is also very easy to train and use on a daily basis.

CONS

The tool accomplishes its purpose well, so we really don’t have any dislikes.

Reason for choosing FirstResponse911

CAD-to-CAD solutions are expensive, complex and open additional security concerns around joining networks. FirstResponse911 simplifies the communication and security needs, eliminating CAD-to-CAD, and is able to exchange data without any direct connects between networks. DataTech911 solution is brilliantly simple to implement and use.

Vendor Response

Thank you, George! We are glad that FirstResponse911 has improved your call intake efficiency.
