EMERGENCY SERVICES
Answering the call for help Most countries now offer simple single number access to all emergency services, and increasingly using the European 112 access number. A single-number access strategy means that all calls must be handled by an initial call handling organisation where the call is assessed and forwarded to the most appropriate emergency organisation which then triages the service response. VoltDelta’s OASIS emergency services platform provides comprehensive support for both the initial call handling and reception (PSAP-1) as well as the reception, triage and management at the emergency service responder such as the police, fire or ambulance service (PSAP-2). It can be deployed to just a PSAP-1 provider or a PSAP-2 emergency service or across both sets of organisations. When deployed across both PSAP 1 & 2 it offers the highest level of integrated service, as well as the most benefits in terms of a single view of an incident, an end-to-end management reporting capability and a single call recording across all service responders. OASIS Emergency Services includes specific emergency services applications and functionality, a multi-media contact centre and a range of flexible integration approaches to meet each 112 service provider’s needs.
Key emergency service features The OASIS Emergency Services platform meets the key functional requirements by providing: • Routing: Comprehensive nationwide routing needed to fully route and manage calls from initial call reception through the PSAP-1 and 2 services. It offers single virtual queuing across multiple call centres and response organisations. • Resilient: Highly resilient solution with multiple layers of redundancy ensuring systems can continue to function during disaster scenarios. • Multi-tenant: OASIS supports multi-tenanting to allow different organisations to share a single OASIS platform with separate management and statistics for each PSAP.

Call management: OASIS includes rich caller management features including the identification of repeat callers to 112 and automation for silent call management. Emergency Database: The OASIS emergency routing database provides decision support to the agent (or any automated call flow) for the most appropriate emergency service. Outbound: OASIS supports outbound campaigns across multiple channels, on a call-by-call basis, or in “mass” automated outbound campaigns leveraging OASIS’ automated speech and SMS capabilities. Accessibility: OASIS provides dedicated solutions for the hard of hearing with both text phone support and an SMS channel.
Complete contact management As a major international provider of contact centre systems VoltDelta’s OASIS contact centre forms a core part of our emergency services solution including: • Contact centre: OASIS provides a complete contact centre environment with management and supervisory applications and tools, comprehensive management information and reporting. • Desktop: OASIS has an integrated agent desktop with softphone, automated workflows and agent guides to assist with search and selection of the appropriate emergency service and management of the response. • Multi-channel: OASIS continues to evolve to offer more multi-channel and multi-media based communications.

Integrated capability OASIS utilises a modular approach and supports a wide range of open APIs to allow VoltDelta to tailor the solution delivered to meet the precise needs for each 112 service provider: • Carrier interconnect: Carrier interconnection with national telephone networks including support for SS7, ISDN and SIP. • Computer Telephony Integration: OASIS Open CTI provides a very rich set of CTI to enable the very close integration of third party applications, such as existing specialist line of business applications, directly into the agent’s desktop. • Portal: OASIS provides a secure portal to allow data sharing between organisations of key call/incident audit information, status and location information. • Integration: OASIS supports a wide variety of integration options with other third party systems and sharing of incident data in order to provide a better and more integrated service. Such integration can include digital radio systems; vehicle tracking systems; mapping systems; and specialist triage applications.

Benefits of the OASIS platform Proven Solution The OASIS solution has been deployed with many organisations supporting national emergency services call handling. It is this real life experience that ensures that the OASIS platform is both a flexible and low risk approach for organisations offering emergency services. Flexible Integration OASIS utilises a modular approach and supports a wide range of open APIs to allow VoltDelta to tailor the solution based on the needs of the emergency services organisation. Since each nation has its own unique strategy for emergency services provision this approach allows the best use of existing infrastructure and applications together with OASIS. Service flexibility In addition, the OASIS platform also allows emergency service call centres to service other service types, such as non-emergency services, other text relay services, traffic services and disaster management services.
