Situation Management

There is no tool or technology that can replace human intelligence in preventing crime, terrorism or health and safety hazards. The problem is that expert knowledge and experience and real-time situational information is not spread equally throughout the safety and security value chains.

Situation Management is a solution approach comprising tools and methods that optimize incident response speed and accuracy by ensuring that everyone in the chain knows what is happening and knows what to do. Situation management ensures that three critical goals are achieved:

• Real-time awareness of what is happening and what resources are available
• A comprehensive, evolution-oriented plan
• The capacity to deploy response procedures according to the plan

Situation Management enhances and optimizes existing systems and technologies

Situation management does not replace existing technologies. It optimizes them and adds functions without disrupting workflow. In fact, security workflow should actually be simplified by task automation delivered by an integrated situation management system. Situator from Orsus was developed based on this concept.
