Silicon Valley Adopts NG9-1-1 GIS Technology from DATAMARK

Santa Clara County joins San Mateo and Merced Counties in NG9-1-1 transitioning efforts

SANTA ANA, Calif., Dec. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To better serve its community of almost two million people,  California’s Santa Clara County, the heart of Silicon Valley, has selected DATAMARK® to lead its regional efforts in address management and ultimately, in providing accurate and complete GIS data for Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1). Santa Clara County is the third county in California to award DATAMARK a government contract for a geographic information system (GIS) based address management system.

For the Silicon Valley project, the nearly $200K scope of work includes deploying the DATAMARK VEP (Validate-Edit-Provision) software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for maintaining accurate regional GIS data in a master address database for use in public safety systems, as well as functionality for interdepartmental and cross-jurisdictional use. The implementation is currently underway.

Santa Clara County abuts San Mateo and Merced counties, both of which have also commissioned DATAMARK to ease the transition to NG9-1-1. The three contiguous counties are leveraging DATAMARK’s value-added services and team of public safety and GIS experts to allow each to succeed with address management and public safety efforts.

“Santa Clara County was looking for a way to streamline the complicated address management process and use the power of DATAMARK’s cloud-based solution to aggregate and share the data,” said Jason Bivens, Director of Business Development, DATAMARK, Michael Baker International. “DATAMARK VEP puts the power of editing, validation and sharing of data in the hands of the local GIS professionals, and is geared to enable regional public safety GIS data maintenance workflows. Using DATAMARK VEP, Santa Clara County can break down operational, communication and data silos that commonly exist in government enterprises.”
