Brazil

State of Minas Gerais
SIDS (integrated information system of social defense) serves:
20 million residents
853 municipalities covered
50 call takers

The project

The SIDS project consisted of equipping the State of Minas Gerais with an emergency call taking, dispatch, and management IT system for police and fire departments across the state. The project also involved training staff to work with the new system and handle technological maintenance.

This extremely ambitious project allowed us to demonstrate the outstanding scalability of Emergensys systems. The system is still in use today.
