An Open Letter from PublicEngines Chief Executive Officer
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank each of our customers for their continued support of PublicEngines in 2013. I appreciate your commitment to us and I want to reassure you that our commitment and dedication to your success is more resolute than ever.
By all accounts, last year was a successful one for PublicEngines. We continued to grow rapidly by providing cloud-based data and analytics products to improve public safety. We added new products, like CommandCentral Predictive, and new capabilities, including a crime dashboard and analytics module to CrimeReports, which we now call CrimeReports Plus.
We recognize that while the economy is improving, these are still economically challenging times. For many of you, budgets have not increased in the last four years, and for some, they may have even fallen. No matter what your situation, we understand the continued importance of trying to do more with what resources you have.
Crime Analysis Training, Basic Training, and Advanced Onsite Training
For this reason, as we continue to invest in the development of our products to help you get the most out of our solutions, we also want to invest in our most important asset: you. As we developed our plan of what to focus on for 2014, we felt the need to invest more time and effort in your success. That is why a major initiative for us this year is to “Ensure Our Customer’s Success.” You will see this in many ways throughout 2014, including some very new and exciting product features and services that will be announced shortly.
However, our biggest commitment will be to an initiative to increase your success in using our products. We’ve started to revamp our current product training, and we’ll be adding several free online training modules so you can get the most out of CommandCentral.
Additionally, January marks the beginning a free monthly training webinar titled, “Best Practices for Better Crime Analysis.” This webinar will focus on modern data analysis and Intelligence-led Policing techniques that can be used in any law enforcement agency to improve your insight and decision-making abilities. Hundreds have already signed up for the series, which starts on January 27th. If you are interested, you can view the agenda and register at http://www2.publicengines.com/2014CrimeAnalysisTraining.
For those who would like the opportunity of more extensive training for their entire command staff or force, we are now offering the option of onsite training. Finally, keep an eye out for a new user forum this year that will provide you an easier way to share your insights with us about how you use our products and what new features you’d like to see, and ways to connect with fellow users from around the world.
With these and other improvements we are making, I think it will be an exciting year for PublicEngines.
I hope that we can continue to earn your trust and business. If there is anything you feel that we can improve, please feel free to contact me or my team at 801-828-2700.
From everyone at PublicEngines, we wish you the best success in 2014.
Chief Executive Officer
