The public safety industry plays a criticalrole in safeguarding our communities, ensuring our well-being, and maintainingorder in times of crisis. However, despite its noble mission, the innovation is stagnating, and most industry players are struggling to develop as companies and to grow their market share. In this blog post, we delve into theheart of this dilemma and present a compelling solution: embrace the concept ofpartnerships in a modern eco-system to provide the end-user the best andcomplete solution that is out there.
Understanding the Stagnation: Market Dynamics and Customer Needs
Jumping back to the year 2000 we lived in a world without smartphones, without social media, without cloud computing and without artificial intelligence. The technology landscape has undergone tremendous shifts in recent years.
Fast forward to today, where the public safety industry grapples with a striking paradox. Singular suppliers strive to provide all-encompassing solutions including everything from CAD, navigation, reporting, salaries, and communications.
If all apps on the iPhone were provided by Apple, would I really be that locally adjusted, perfectly tailored solution, for just you that it is today? Or would it rather be that Nokia where you in best case could change some simple settings?
The difference between what technology a first responder uses in their private life and at work has never been greater. Traditional approaches to product and service offerings, which once seemed effective, are now falling short in addressing the multifaceted needs of customers.
The Importance of Wholeness in Solutions
To break free from the cycle of stagnation, a paradigm shift is required. Suppliers to the Public safety organizations must prioritize offering complete solutions that cater to the entire spectrum of challenges they face. This concept of "wholeness" goes beyond individual products or services; it encompasses a holistic approach where each vendor can focus on their core strengths and where integration and interoperability take care of providing the end-user a tailored complete solution.
The Role of an Eco-system
Enter the eco-system. The Evam platform is not just another product; it's a dynamic ecosystem designed to foster collaboration, interoperability, and innovation. By providing a foundation upon which various stakeholders can build and customize solutions, Evam addresses the complex needs of modern public safety organizations.
Enabling Collaborative Innovation
At the heart of Evam's approach lies the power of collaboration and partnerships. In a traditionally siloed industry, an open platform encourages diverse stakeholders – including public safety agencies, technology partners, and even the communities they serve – to come together. Through this collaborative effort, innovative solutions emerge, paving the way for more effective ways to enhance safety, respond to emergencies, and prevent incidents.
Customer-Centric Approach: Case Study and Success Story
Let's take a look at a real-world exampleto illustrate the impact of Evam's open platform. The Swedish Ambulance industry has undergone substantial transformations in recent years, marked by a relentless surge in demands for a comprehensive and efficient IT solution. The list of requirements in procurements just kept on growing and growing. In the face of these challenges, Swedish med-tech company Ortivus rose to the occasion.
Rather than dispersing their focus across entirely novel verticals to meet customer demands, Ortivus made a strategic decision. They chose to anchor their solution within the grounds of the open Evam platform. While Ortivus continued to channel their expertise into their core competencies, they seamlessly integrated segments of the Evam ecosystem to achieve a holistic solution, achieving a newfound wholeness. This astute move propelled them towards capturing significant market shares in an industry that had exhibited stagnation over the past decade.
The aforementioned example, is just one among many, vividly illustrating how an ecosystem-centric, completeness-driven strategy can empower public safety suppliers to expand their market presence even within a static market landscape.
