The May 27, 1998 Technology Arena presentation featured James Bowen of CoordTek, Inc. who introduced the technology of SitRep2200. James opened his session by stating that the Virtual Forum is an example of a wave of technology that is hitting the emergency management/disaster recovery field. He emphasized that technology will revolutionize our ability to stay on top of realtime events, communicate effectively and act more expediently to optimize disaster response.

SitRep2200 combines concepts from several fields such as military command and control, planning, and emergency/disaster management and provides required information in terms of tasks to complete and status of tasks. The SitTrep2200 system consists of four main packages: a Plan Editor, a Situation Management Centre, a Training/Message Centre, and a Command Post Console. The product is new to the market with the original concepts being purchased by the military.

James Bowen very effectively presented SitTrep2200 with text and slides. His announcement of an upcoming 2-user version of the software was of interest to the Tech Arena audience. The 2.0 beta version should be available mid-June on the SitRep2200 web site http://www.sitrep2200.com.
