Blue-light trusted cloud contact management
Like all public services, policing is under great pressure. Police leaders must grow public confidence in the service in the face of soaring demand, all while facing reductions in resourcing. Contact centers are bearing the brunt of this tension:
Public contact levels are higher than ever, overwhelming call handlers.
Long wait times are leading to the overuse of the 999 service.
Citizens expect personalized contact through their preferred channels.
Legacy systems are turning end-of-life, threatening the reliability of police contact centers.
Police forces can’t risk investing in unreliable mission-critical technology. The storm® Emergency Services Platform (ESP) is the only blue-light solution that offers 99.999%+ availability. All data is securely processed and stored in the UK. A cloud-based solution, storm ESP boasts virtually limitless scalability, removing the constraints of local servers and expensive data centers.
AI-backed automation, intelligent routing and self-service options enhance the non-emergency 101 service, making it more accessible. Increased uptake of the 101 service frees up 999 to receive only the most urgent calls.

Trust and transparency
High demand means Police forces struggle to respond to the public in a timely manner, and through the channels they prefer. This is causing public trust and engagement to diminish. storm’s omni-channel functionality makes you available to citizens, whenever and wherever they need you. Whether over the phone or online, constant contact is key to building trust and providing next-generation policing.
As public scrutiny of the police grows, transparency is crucial. With storm’s contact recording, AI-backed transcription, and powerful analytics, you can build a 360-degree picture of every incident. Draw all channels and systems together, for complete, flexible communications.

With storm FLOW™’s intuitive, drag-and-drop interface, you can design complex systems without the need for code.
storm ESP’s AI and self-service options enhance the non-emergency 101 service, making it more accessible.
