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.
