The Problem.... • Commercial Premises built without Fire Certification • Concern for public safety • Less money into Local Authorities • New Legislation – Regularisation Certificates
Agenda • Legacy of the Celtic Tiger • Geo-data silos • Rubber bands and sticky plasters • Conclusion
Diamond Fire • Premises-based BPM solution for Fire Authorities and Building Control Sections • Key features – Fire Certification, Licensing Inspections, Building Control... • Statistics, KPI’s, Fees • GIS Mapping & iPlanIntegration • Used by 23 Local Authorities
How to tackle this problem? • There is no “One” database with all this information • Where are these premises? • Low resources (Staff and the required specialist skills) • Important – Low Cost! ?
Agenda • Legacy of the Celtic Tiger • Geo-data silos • Rubber bands and sticky plasters • Conclusion
The Solution! • All premises should bemapped in Diamond Fire • “Secret Formula” - Cross referenced this data with GeoDirectory & Planning databases (e.g. iPlan, APAS etc) • Used qualifying criteria (commercial property, built post 1992 etc) • Created a “Regularisation Layer” with the results
Results • Imported GIS layer into Diamond Fire and overlaid on existing Fire Safety Certificates • Un-certified premises identified and Fire/BC Officers can now investigate • Increased Revenue • Restoring confidence in public safety • Happy Customer!
Agenda • Legacy of the Celtic Tiger • Geo-data silos • Rubber bands and sticky plasters • Conclusion
Conclusion • Massive Return on Investment • Non-compliant premises can be corrected before death or injury occurs • Extra revenue can be used for public safety (e.g. Fire Fighting equipment)
