Geac Public Safety and American Medical Response Team for Better Customer Service New graphical EnRoute Ambulance CAD software helps AMR maximize utilization and reduce time-on-task TAMPA, FL, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Geac Public Safety, a division of Geac(R) (TSX:GAC, NASDAQ:GEAC), announced today that American Medical Response (AMR) in Connecticut has gone live with Geac's EnRoute Computer-aided Dispatch (CAD) software applications. AMR's New Haven dispatch center represents the first commercial deployment of Geac's new graphical, ambulance CAD software, EnRoute 6.4. The new version helps users better manage contract agreements, billing and insurance, personnel and units, and enables improved unit utilization and dispatcher recommendations. Geac's software solution for AMR Connecticut also includes EnRoute I-STATUS, which provides Web access to current call status, as well as real- time integration with AMR's billing system. AMR is the nation's leading private medical transportation company, providing ambulance service to more than four million people a year. The company, which is based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, has 17,000 employees in more than 250 locations nationwide. AMR's Connecticut dispatch center in New Haven supports 50 users and serves the entire state of Connecticut. "We have always been satisfied with the stability and reliability of our existing Geac CAD," said Phil Coco, Eastern Region IS Director for AMR. Through a collaborative effort, however, Geac was able to take AMR's Connecticut CAD to a new level of performance. "It now has features that can vastly improve our ability to provide each customer a completely customized experience, enhance our on-time performance and improve our resource productivity," he said. Geac developed its enhanced EnRoute Ambulance CAD product features through a unique collaboration with AMR that involved cooperative field research and testing. "We wanted to provide a feature-rich system to help ambulance dispatchers make better informed decisions, and we were able to achieve this by involving the industry leader," Molly Crews, General Manager of Geac Public Safety, said. "We are grateful for AMR's willingness to commit the time and resources to help us cross the chasm in Ambulance CAD functionality." After a series of "town hall" meetings with AMR users across the country and months of product development, Geac enhanced its EnRoute Ambulance CAD to perform many functions that, according to Coco, maximize utilization and significantly reduce time-on-task. "We needed a system that lets us access information to send the right truck, equipment, and personnel to each emergency and scheduled call," he said.
