APIs
A documented way for two systems to exchange information without a person in the middle.
Our data is trapped in separate systems
CAD knows one part of the incident. RMS knows another. ePCR contains patient care. GIS knows location. Staffing systems know who was available. Useful analysis often requires connecting information that was never designed to work together.
Technology approaches
Data warehouses
One place the reporting reads from, rather than five systems queried separately.
Integration platforms
Middleware that moves and reshapes data between systems that do not speak to each other.
Shared identifiers
The same incident recognisable across CAD, RMS and ePCR, which is what makes linkage possible at all.
NERIS and NEMSIS interoperability
Building on the national standards rather than a private schema only your vendor understands.
Automated data pipelines
Movement that runs on a schedule and reports its own failures, not a monthly export somebody remembers to do.

What departments are asking
Mutual AidHas anyone integrated ESO with First Due?
Running ESO for EMS records and looking at First Due for fire. Both vendors say it is supported. Looking for someone who has actually run it in production.
How is your NERIS migration actually going?
Vendor says we are ready. Our data says otherwise. Curious whether anyone has completed a clean migration and what they had to fix first.
