WHAT THEY ARE

A disadvantaged platform is any group, or person, who cannot identify, retrieve or otherwise access the information they require to prosecute their business in a timely or responsive manner.

WHY THEY HAPPEN

The disadvantage may be as a result of information overload, the inability to download information adequately or limited bandwidth. Disadvantaged platforms will include large businesses, military units, particularly at the front-line, and emergency services responding to events.

Their needs for which they require solutions must be addressed as a complex set of technical problems:

• Situational Awareness
• Deployed User Information Push and Information Pull capabilities
• Bandwidth Challenges
• Multiple Source Information Silos
• Multi Agency Legacy Integration
• Security and Data Privacy (Needs to Know!)
• Information Assurance

Openkast technology addresses these key technical problems and enables solutions that remove the disadvantages.
