make common dispatch tasks easier to complete for quicker and more
accurate decision making;
-- Supports new and emerging mobile trends through a refreshed platform
compatible with Internet Protocol V.6, Microsoft SQL Server 2008

database;
-- Advances situational awareness by enabling users to easily toggle
between the I/CAD map and consumer maps, such as Microsoft Virtual
Earth.
