We understand that law enforcement is structured by its very nature. It needs to be in order to help these fine hardworking men and women do their important jobs of protecting our communities. This structure is critical to making sure each member is the team if performing his/ her duties to the best of their abilities while meeting the highest standards.

This is all fantastic – however, the natural downside is that it always ends up breaking down in the form of siloes. At Adventos™, our goal is to help you eliminate these siloes within your agency. We do this by embracing the three core values of “Organize,” “Operationalize” and ” Optimize”.

1. Organize – Customer agencies first organize their information, data, and processes.
2. Operationalize – Organizations then look to reduce any duplication, address outstanding needs and streamline processes, data collection, information sharing and permissions.
3. Optimize – Customer agencies finally adapt the solution to bring information to end-users quickly and address their unique needs with configured workflows and dashboards.

By always keeping these three core ideas in mind, we can help remove the siloes that make communication difficult and collaboration complicated. More than anything else, they help with the quick tracking of important information and documents, permitting law enforcement agencies to better serve the public. As an example, our agency management system helps you collaborate internally with targeted information and intelligence that was traditionally passed on in lengthy meetings and now is keep secure online, where is easily searchable and actionable by everyone in the Agency.

We designed SmartForce™ from the ground up to offer features that allow the streamlining of processes, that are specific to law enforcement agencies and designed specifically to reduce Siloes of information by keeping all relevant information available at the right time to the right officers on the right medium, whether is an office PC, car’s computers, Tablet or even Smart Phones.

Law enforcement agencies around the country are being asked to do a lot more with fewer resources. This means officers must be connected at all times in order to have the latest information and intelligence available to them, whether they are at their desks, in patrol cars or on foot patrol and across all their devices. Technology is supposed to speed up the process and facilitate better, faster and accurate results, not to create confusion and slow down the process.

One question frequently asked by customers and prospective clients is whether the ability of SmartForce™ to adapt to different types of devices is accomplished using an individual application, or app. The answer is no. This function is built directly into the software, giving it many benefits that an individual app can’t provide.

An app is by definition a software program that is developed to function on a specific operating system, for example, Android, Apple’s iOS, and Microsoft Windows, to name the most common. This fact alone limits an apps ability to function across different devices using different operating systems. A developer has to build a different app accomplishing the same thing for each system, and a user has to download a different app for each device. This isn’t an issue when the function is built into the software with the ability to adapt to all of these systems automatically.

Another benefit is providing a similar user experience across different devices. Using a separate app for each operating system renders a different interface on each device, meaning a user has to become familiar with each app to use it efficiently. This can lead to confusion, frustration, and mistakes. Smartforce™ built one solution that works everywhere with a seamless interface for faster adoption rates and ease of use.

Another concern is privacy. Apps often collect information and data without a user being aware of it, potentially sending data to a third party. In the field of public safety, with so much sensitive data involved, it’s an issue that has to be considered. SmartForce™ customers can always be assured that their data is safe and secure. Our Smartforce™ solution is CJIS certified.

We, at Adventos recognize that device adaptability without using apps is the new standard for law enforcement agencies around the globe, as a result we designed this functionality from day one, and has become one of the best features of SmartForce™ giving customers the real-world flexibility they need and expect so they can focus on services their communities.
