Microsoft Azure customers worldwide now gain access to decision science technologies for disaster management to take advantage of the scalability, reliability and agility of Azure to drive application development and shape business strategies
Washington, D.C. October 7, 2020 – Disaster Tech, a leader in decision science technologies for disaster management, today announced the availability of Data science Integrated Collaboration Environment (DICE) in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. Disaster Tech customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.
Disaster Tech’s DICE platform uses geospatial analytics and open source software techniques to the maximum extent possible, improving quality, security, and flexibility needed for disaster forecasting and preparation. By leveraging these techniques, Disaster Tech provides decision support with actionable intelligence and applies them to various use cases across the disaster relief lifecycle.
At its core, DICE is using real-time cross sector data for situational awareness and operational coordination across multiple hazards such as wildfires, hurricanes, and COVID-19 – all on Microsoft Teams. This availability on Teams has accelerated Disaster Tech’s ability to arm disaster managers with the tools they need to perform in high-stress situations.
“The availability of DICE in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and Microsoft Teams reveals Disaster Tech’s commitment to delivering a collaborative and sophisticated environment for disaster and emergency teams,” said Sean Griffin, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Disaster Tech. “We know customers are looking for solutions to accurately — and simply — integrate their own unique data to accelerate decision making processes before and when disasters hit. This integration helps us deliver a single pane of glass platform to multiple high-risk sectors, including government, utility and the healthcare industry, resulting in increased data visualization, streamlined report generation, and significant savings to lives, money and time.”
“Through Microsoft Azure Marketplace, customers around the world can easily find, buy, and deploy partner solutions they can trust, all certified and optimized to run on Azure,” said Sajan Parihar, Senior Director, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp. “We’re happy to welcome Disaster Tech’s solution to the growing Azure Marketplace ecosystem.”
