Industry Leadership

Getac’s leadership of over 30 years in rugged, award-winning mobile devices will play an integral role in the One Getac. This will be achieved by providing custom solutions such as the acclaimed Getac Select program which combines pre-configured rugged devices, software, accessories, and professional services into total industry-specific solutions with a goal of providing enhanced user experience coupled with advanced data management capabilities.

In addition, the convergence in data analytics, Internet of things (IoT), and the advent of 5G wireless communications enable new opportunities for solutions addressing SaaS real-time crime and command center applications.

One of the most essential service offerings that Getac Video Solutions brings to the new alliance is Getac Enterprise, a powerful backend video management tool, and its partnership with the Microsoft Azure Government Cloud platform.

This capability allows law enforcement to quickly identify relevant information, alert responding personnel and receive real-time information (including on-scene video) from the incident. The scalable system of Getac Enterprise enables first responders a place to easily upload, organize, and review video saving time across all departments. It leverages the power and security of the Microsoft Azure Government Cloud platform.

“Our substantial growth despite the challenges brought on by the past three pandemic years
has inspired and encouraged our decision to create the new One Getac. Our customer base in
law enforcement and public safety has been a trusted partner of Getac for many years. That
spirit of trust is and will continue to be the bedrock of this organization,” adds McMahon.
