OCA connect

interoperability

More than ever today, governments need diverse systems and organisations to work together and interoperate. In the context of emergency management, greater cooperation and information sharing not only saves lives and limits damage, but also contributes to a significant time saving, giving governments more money to spend on the community and giving corporations more money to spend on growing their businesses.

what is oca connect?

OCA Connect is an innovative secure online system designed specifically to help organisations achieve interoperability, respond faster and work more effectively and collaboratively. It allows for real-time incident-related information to be shared securely between organisations, regardless of whether Noggin's OCA Incident Manager or Professional software is already in place and without the need for a whole-of government solution as the driver.

By acting as a secure intermediary, OCA Connect removes the need for organisations to expose their systems to the internet, and ensures that organisations know and have control over who they are sharing information with and when. In contrast with traditional interoperability models, OCA Connect removes the need to build separate connections with each system where integration is needed and streamlines data mapping to one structure, thus reducing integration effort and costs, including maintenance.

Because it is built on a high-availability platform, data sharing can continue even if individual systems or network connections are unavailable, reducing the risk of miscommunication or non-communication. It also makes it easy to comply with multiple standards (NIEM, CAP, RSS, GeoRSS, KML), and reduces the costs of supporting and maintaining many different integration connections and technologies.

Lastly, OCA Connect is a user-friendly product that makes negotiating with other organisations during the collaboration process a straightforward and trouble-free exercise.
