RSS62 IBM and the Davao City Government in the Philippines have announced an agreement to help the city scale-up its existing public safety and security command centre (PSSCC) by integrating city operations into a single system.

To enable Davao’s smarter city transformation, IBM’s intelligent operations centre (IOC) will integrate multiple city agencies in the PSSCC to improve interdepartmental collaboration and enhance the management of Davao’s four pillars of public safety: crime prevention and suppression; emergency response; threat prevention and response; and traffic management.

To address the unique needs of Davao, the IOC solution is integrated with advanced technologies such as video analytics software, multi-channel unified communication and GPS location tracking.
