Crisis ManagementSolutions from

Tekes Safety and Security Programme

Need Security organisations increasingly face interoperability issues as they

interact with other national, regional or international organisations Assets and standards must be shared across Europe to empower joint

responses to threats and crisis Security organisations have to benefit from interoperability

functionality in their day-to-day workApproach A concept for interworking of security organisations in their daily

activity between organisations and cross-borderBenefits The interoperability approach will create new business opportunities

and will decrease the operation costs Better public safetyUsers Law enforcement & security organisations globally Other sectors divided by end user application as utilities, critical

infrastructure operation, transport and industry.
