Spokane CCC services are provided by 15 distinctive agencies with a combined response force of approximately 1,000 career and volunteer firefighters. Decision-makers elected to move forward with the upgrade to benefit from the flexibility, advanced data analysis and new user interface of Infor-s emergency response application.

The Microsoft SQL server backend creates enhanced agility for data viewing and standardization, facilitating in-depth analysis for improved unit deployment decisions.
Dispatch users are now equipped with the latest Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping technology, which enables them to provide route-based recommendations to get first responders to incident locations as quickly and safely as possible.
Infor EnRoute-s user-friendly interface and automated workflows provide greater visibility across the center and help to reduce manual entry requirements, enabling increased ease-of-use for more efficient completion of daily activities.
“Upgrading our Infor EnRoute application gave us an opportunity to examine and restructure existing processes to essentially create a -playbook- for responding to large emergency situations like natural disasters,” said Ariane Schmidt, information management systems manager, City of Spokane Fire Department. “We are confident in our units- ability to respond quickly and efficiently because Infor EnRoute has helped us to put the necessary guidelines in place.”
