History of Deccan International
Deccan International started in 1996 as a small business owned and
operated by Latha and Raj Nagaraj. Raj had worked for the government of
the District of Columbia as a Senior Project Manager where he was tasked
with improving the Metropolitan Police Department’s handling of 9-1-1 calls. Raj
proposed substituting consulting reports with a “map-based station and
apparatus analysis tool.” District Fire Chief Otis Latin (now Emergency
Services Director for the City of Austin) used Raj’s proposal to explore
alternate scenarios for his own department. Impressed with the results,
Chief Latin invited Raj to present at the Metro Fire Chief’s Conference.
Success was virtually instantaneous. Fire chiefs nationwide asked if
such a tool could be built for their own agencies. With the
encouragement of first responders in EMS as well as fire, Raj and Latha
soon launched Deccan International with headquarters in San Diego. The
company not only offered modeling software analyses tools for fire
departments and EMS operations but also performed the required
consulting and project management. First-class client support quickly
became the company’s trademark.
Inception of ADAM
Deccan's flagship product is a station location analysis tool dubbed
ADAM for Apparatus Deployment Analysis Module. The Denver Fire
Department served as the beta site for ADAM running the initial tests
with the Department’s data set. Satisfied with the results ADAM
produced, DFD promptly purchased three years of maintenance. With faith
in the software as demonstrated in Denver, more than 80 Fire/EMS
departments—including FDNY—acquired ADAM and are now using the tool for
standard strategic deployment analysis.
Realization of CAD Analyst
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was the first department to acquire
Deccan’s software through an outside source. A consultant to the
department had used ADAM’s recommendations regarding the number of
medical units required to meet a target response time. While working
with ADAM, the consultant realized the necessity of discovering and
analyzing current response time performance. This spurred Raj to
conceive and build CAD Analyst which, in turn, made PBCFR the driver of
the applications’ creation. Today, Deccan offers CAD Analyst and ADAM as
a tool in tandem for emergency decision-makers and managers. |
