Command Centers – Not Just for Security and Emergency Operations

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase command center? Probably images of a 9-1-1 station fielding calls and dispatching first responders to dynamic situations. Or perhaps government agents standing in front of a bank of video consoles while monitoring an emergency like a natural disaster or act of terrorism. Most people associate command centers with some type of security or emergency operation, but in truth, these installations go far beyond these familiar applications. A command center is the “nerve center” of any operation and provides a versatile utility that enhances coordination, organization, information gathering and dissemination, and planning and logistics.

As a Social Media Hub

These days nearly every brand and institution has a social media presence. It’s practically required for an organization seeking to engage with audiences in the 21st century. Social media acts as a marketing vehicle, public relations platform, customer service center, and provides actionable insights from a target audience. For example, a company might monitor its brand name across social media channels for both positive and negative experiences, and use this information in future decision-making. An effective way for an organization to keep an eye on its social media presence is with a dedicated command center complete with a multimedia wall. This social media hub can be installed in a showcase room or smaller space, and serve as a coordination point for multiple departments (customer service, public relations, and marketing) while providing real-time information on the current conversation and health of a brand.

As a Cybersecurity Center

In today’s digital age, companies are constantly at risk of cyber attacks that usually target customer information. Financial institutions and other types of large national chains can benefit from a command center where they’re able to keep an eye on digital activity and act on anything that seems out of the ordinary. For every minute that a cybersecurity breach goes undetected, an organization’s operations can face major disruptions and revenue can plummet. The trouble continues after a breach with potential legal penalties and a seriously damaged reputation. Needless to say, a well-executed cybersecurity center is a priceless asset for any organization that values its customer’s private information.

Transportation Applications

Managing a fleet of land or marine vehicles is also made easier through the use of a command center. With the proper installation, a team can oversee logistics trucks as they make their deliveries, or track ships that might be headed into a storm. Transportation management systems are needed to monitor everything from engine performance, location, weather, fuel burn, and life safety systems. A command center drives optimal transportation management and a well-run operation by serving as a central coordination facility and mission-critical space.
