VirtualAgility (VA) provides a browser-based environment that supports interoperation among disparate groups and organizations. VA systems resolve several of the most urgent challenges currently facing emergency, disaster and business continuity planners, including:
- The need to span interorganizational boundaries in order to facilitate planning and sharing
- The need for a single platform on which to plan, train, respond and recover
- The need for technology that can be deployed swiftly and used intuitively by a wide range of individuals accessing the network from a variety of devices
VirtualAgility was one of the first to offer comprehensive solutions that allow managers of heterogeneous organizations to work together effectively across geographical and institutional barriers. The ability to let participants retain control of proprietary data, even as they share it with selected partners, enables an entirely new level of coordination and performance.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Navy use VA technology in mission-critical applications requiring high degrees of accessibility, usability and breadth of functionality. VirtualAgility partner IBM and other systems integrators use VA technology as the core of their emergency management offerings.
Based in Winchester, Massachusetts, VirtualAgility was founded by entrepreneurs with a deep understanding of operations and IT. Its boards of directors and advisors include many retired military and industrial leaders who have dealt firsthand with the difficulties of interoperability and collaboration under crisis conditions. The rapid adoption of VA systems is indicative of their relevance to the interests of a new and more demanding generation of contingency planners in both the public and private sectors.
