Procedures and policies transformed into actionable plans
Everyone knows how incidents begin. But it is often impossible to know how they will end. Using the advanced, yet easy-to-use Situator Planning Tool, planners can develop even the most complex procedures for routine and emergency situations. The exception management principles inherent in Situator make it possible to design modular procedures that can adapt automatically or on-demand as incidents develop. By transforming your security and safety plans and policies into actionable tasks and procedures Situator reduces the control room workload and helps incident managers focus on critical tasks.

Pre-planned Situator procedures are activated both automatically and on demand by control room staff using the Situator Control Room application and by field personnel using the Situator Mobile Client running on PDAs, GPRS mobile phones and other mobile devices.
Automatic tasks and procedures can be scheduled or activated by event-driven rules triggered by alerts from virtually any type of security, EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) and facility management device or system monitored by Situator.

With Situator, procedures incorporate complex incident logic workflow and real decision support mechanisms that simplify the responsibilities of control room personnel. Procedures can include YES/NO and multi-condition prompts whose results determine the logic flow of tasks. Decisions can be made automatically, according to pre-defined rules that use real-time data from sensors and dynamic data sources, or on-demand when more human intervention is required.

Automatic tasks can be defined to assign additional tasks to Situator users and to simultaneously send multiple notifications to many different people using different communication methods. Tasks can also send commands to devices, cameras and other equipment and systems and automatically adapt to changing alert levels. For tasks and notifications that are not handled properly within a pre-defined timeframe, escalation policies ensure that these tasks are either dynamically or manually reassigned to alternate people or other resources.

Control room personnel and management can monitor and control response and recovery status in the Situator Incident Log where active, queued and completed tasks are displayed with a common workflow and a common language that everyone can understand and follow. All activity that is managed through Situator is also logged by the system, reducing paperwork and enabling comprehensive "big picture" debriefing, analysis and reporting.
