Locus is an ESRI business partner and key provider of solutions to emergency services in Scandinavia. Map systems, decision support tools, messaging, fleet management systems, and other solutions have been delivered to a number of emergency services, particularly in Norway. Locus' solutions contribute to shortening response times, which in turn makes for better services to the general public. Life-critical information is obtained, logged, and documented. This leads to more lives saved, reduced suffering, and lower costs. Emergency crews are offered an improved working environment, and the quality and efficiency of services increases. With Scandinavia as its main market, the company has been an Esri business partner for several years. Over the last couple of years, it has been migrating from MapObjects to the ArcGIS platform. With its new ArcGIS solution, it can offer customers a high-end GIS functionality to support the value chain within the emergency sector.
