Userful Corporation (Userful), a globally renowned provider of visual communication solutions since 2015, has announced a new offering for its Visual Networking Platform.

Virtual Emergency Operations Centre

Userful’s Virtual Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) supports remote workers and allows cross-site and cross-departmental collaboration with a virtual video wall that is capable of sharing secure data, KPIs and other critical visual information sources in real time onto any display.

With this announcement, organisations that need to share visual information sources for real time situational awareness and decision making, no longer need to gather in the same room. Instead, they can deploy a virtual video wall solution, available on any screen allowing close collaboration without close physical contact.

During this time of crisis, new response teams are forming overnight and organisations on the front lines of the pandemic are adapting to new ways of working without physical contact. These teams and individuals still need to share real time secure information sources.

Userful makes that possible with its virtual display solution for Emergency Operation Centres, which is part of Userful’s complete Visual Networking Platform.

Visual Networking Platform

Userful’s software platform enables rapid deployment using a commercially available, off-the-shelf PC or server placed on-site. This server acts as a gateway for operators to access content sources they need from any location without violating privacy and security measures related to keeping access limited to inside the LAN.

Operators can remotely view and interact with any content source from HDMI inputs to IP Cameras, dashboards and local desktops.

Access to secure critical visual information sources

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created the need for organisations to ensure accessibility to sensitive and secure critical visual information sources,” said John Marshall, Userful’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), adding "To support the needs of essential workers, Userful is offering this solution free for the next six months both to first responders and healthcare organisations as our small part in alleviating this crisis.

Userful has also committed to donate a portion of all proceeds generated during the current coronavirus epidemic to international support agencies battling COVID-19.
