Protecting the Homeland

Emerald Systems, Inc. began to focus on Homeland Security issues in 1998. When 9/11 occurred, Emerald already had major Web-based Thin Client information sharing systems installed in two states:

• Minnesota
• Wisconsin 

Homeland Security Keys

Emerald recognized early on that a major key to the effectiveness of Homeland Security efforts was the ability to put real-time information into the hands of law enforcement officers when they needed it. Emerald bridged the gap by developing Web-based processes and applications that allowed users of disparate systems to share information. Emerald integrated its software applications with high technology hardware to address security.

Pioneering

Emerald pioneered Web-based Thin Client law enforcment information sharing systems at the local and regional level with programs such as -
