Our solutions allow these personnel to make the right decisions, at the right time, and make it possible for the right people to affect the best outcomes and save lives. As the definition of public safety expands beyond 911, InterAct is leading the way through continuous product development, product improvement and innovation to provide a seamless transition to our customers. Public and private safety agencies today are under relentless pressure to improve response times amidst tight budgets and a rapidly evolving communication infrastructure. The growing ubiquity of mobile and voice over IP (VoIP) communications requires a commitment to continuous technological improvement. Increased security requirements at borders, ports, airports, corporate/industrial sites and even our schools, and has brought the need for interoperable communications between government agencies and the private sector to the forefront.

InterAct’s client base includes more than 1,450 clients in 44 states and across three continents. Its feature-rich, easy to use software is popular among city, county, state, and federal agencies as well as international agencies looking to improve the safety of officers and the public at large. Private institutions, such as universities, hospitals, and other organizations, also utilize InterAct products to improve security and emergency response to protect both lives and property.
