The Difference is ProActive

• All of our products and services are intuitive by design– There are other systems on the market that use after-the-fact and

belated information– We use real-time DATA and programmed logic that provides tools

to help prevent disaster• All of our hardware instruments are required to be on-site

– Other service providers use and depend on off-site instrumentsand third partiesand third parties

• We are as redundant as feasibly possible with DATA processed anddelivered onsite and offsite– Redundant service runs locally and offsite in secure Data Center,

24/7, with uninterruptable power supply and generator– Our Software service is developed, monitored and supported in-

house– All events are logged and backed-up offsite– Our systems are automated with manual over-rides because

artificial intelligence does not replace common sense– We manage all preventative maintenance and redundancy is our

priority
