API Liberation: Uniting School Safety Tech for Increased Security
Cypress Lab

Schools rely on a wide range of safety and security technologies—both in terms of hardware and software—and these tools span the full spectrum of school safety, from prevention and preparedness to response and recovery. Yet these systems often lack the ability to communicate, leaving critical gaps in school safety with information and security coverage siloed in their various systems.

Integrating the school safety ecosystem into one open platform removes those silos—and bridging the gaps between disparate systems, such as silent panic alerts and security cameras with weapons detection, saves schools precious time in a crisis.

Raptor Technologies’ Chief Product Officer Chris Noell will share key insights into ways technology leaders can easily integrate with software that removes restrictions to enable greater interoperability amongst school’s safety technologies.
