Overview

"Traditional, device-centric, and big-bang approaches to technology enablement that do not pay close attention to first responders business use cases, scalability, and interoperability will not be affordable in the current fiscal context," said Silvia Piai, EMEA research manager, IDC Health Insights and IDC Government Insights.
