Rev F 07012016 Accountability Solution Questionnaire
Systems Definition, Inc. (SDI) provides this questionnaire to assist with collection and identification of Fire Department resources and operations to be considered to construct a robust fireground accountability solution using SDI’s APX™ Personnel Accountability Application (APAA) and EasyStaff® software in conjunction with Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI) APX™ radio systems. SDI developed the APAA and EasyStaff® software and is a third-party solutions provider to MSI. The main purpose of the questionnaire is to capture relevant, sufficiently detailed Department data in order to properly quote a suitable accountability solution. This questionnaire may be used to document information for a single Department or rolled-up for multi-Department efforts (e.g., for a regional system, MABAS division, etc.). To initiate a project, please complete the questionnaire based on survey/assessment of the Department/Agency, send to SDI, and arrange a follow-up telecon and/or accountability solution demonstration with the Motorola Product Manager and SDI point of contact.
