Innogistic Launches New Generation Fire Risk Management Solution.

Innogistic, the Bristol based software experts, have announced the launch of CFRMIS 5, the next generation of its highly successful fire risk management solution.  CFRMIS is the UK’s most popular fire risk management software and is in use at almost 60% of the country’s Fire and Rescue Services for technical, community and operational risk management.

Andy Carter, Innogistic’s Emergency Services Business Manager said: “CFRMIS 5 is the culmination of a truly collaborative 3 year project, which has seen our new solution developed in partnership with our Fire & Rescue Service customers.”

CFRMIS 5 is now entirely web based, which presents significant efficiency and cost benefits for Brigades as it requires less resource to deliver the solution’s services; welcome news in these challenging economic times.  Andy explains: “Being web based removes the need for resident software on each user’s terminal, thereby greatly reducing system management overheads.  Staff simply log-on to a central server, resident at the brigade’s own data centre or hosted on the cloud.  Accessing CFRMIS 5 from any PC, laptop or mobile device with a web browser, also opens up new possibilities for home and partnership working.  The system administrator retains control on users and grants access through easily customisable permission levels.  This means that the solution can also be configured differently depending on the role of the individual user and can provide different tools to different users depending on their specific job requirements”.

Accompanying the move to a web-based architecture, CFRMIS 5 also includes advanced new capabilities, including a powerful work flow engine which makes it easy to configure the solution to the requirements of each Fire and Rescue Service and to automate tasks which in other solutions are manual processes.  The solution also has embedded web-based GIS and Map Viewing facilities as well as full integration with Innogistic’s mobile Fire Safety Inspection data gathering and management tool, CFRMIS Mobile.

Regarding customers for the new solution, Andy already has good news: “We already have 10 Fire and Rescue Services committed to our ‘Early Adopters’ programme which is helping with the testing and further development of the new solution.  We are certain that, within the next few weeks, we will be announcing that our first CFRMIS 5 customer has gone live.”
