DATAMARK Technologies Reimagines Lifecycle of Public Safety GIS Data With Location Platform

March 26, 2025

DATAMARK Technologies, a leader in interoperable solutions for public safety location services, today announced the launch of its highly-anticipated Location Platform. This innovative suite of interoperable solutions for Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) revolutionizes the lifecycle of geographic information systems (GIS) data as it navigates the 9-1-1 call routing process. The DATAMARK Technologies Location Platform reduces redundant data maintenance, ensures data integrity and reimagines the lifecycle of public safety GIS data from the birth of an address to the 9-1-1 call. DATAMARK Technologies stands out as the sole provider offering this type of fully integrated system in today’s market.

“DATAMARK Technologies serves as a trusted partner in the transition to NG9-1-1, and we strive to address the pain points felt by our clients with the innovative solutions that we offer. One such pain point was a disconnected workflow between the GIS data providers and the NGCS that uses that data to route calls to the correct PSAP,” said Mitch Pinkston, CEO, DATAMARK Technologies. “Our Location Platform streamlines the traditionally manual and time-consuming task of resolving data discrepancies by seamlessly integrating the required datasets and processes for an efficient resolution. Ultimately, the Location Platform improves public safety incident response by ensuring accurate GIS information is integrated throughout the entire NG9-1-1 workflow.”

Key benefits of the DATAMARK Technologies Location Platform:

• Enhanced Collaboration: The Location Platform enables GIS, Next Generation Core Services (NGCS), and service providers to identify, collaborate, and resolve discrepancies seamlessly.
• Seamless Reporting and Provisioning: The solution uses DATAMARK Technologies’ Validate, Edit, Provision (VEP) tool to identify and mitigate Location Validation Function (LVF) discrepancies and provisions these records back through the Emergency Call Routing Function (ECRF).
• Improved Quality Controls: GIS Providers use VEP to regularly update and maintain GIS data, with the Spatial Interface (SI) acting as a gatekeeper to ensure NGCS data integrity through critical checks.

Our Location Platform Integrates the following DATAMARK Technologies solutions:

• DATAMARK VEP: DATAMARK’s flagship solution for GIS data maintenance in alignment with NG9-1-1 standards.
• DDTI DataManager: A Spatial Interface that ensures GIS data meets strict standards before moving into the emergency call routing function.
• DDTI Emergency Call Routing Function and Location Validation Function (ECRF / LVF): Ensures accurate 9-1-1 call routing and address validation for emergency response.
• DDTI Location Information Server and Location Database (LIS / LDB): Provides valid location information for devices during an emergency call.

With the introduction of the Location Platform, DATAMARK Technologies reaffirms its commitment to advancing public safety through innovative solutions. This cutting-edge platform not only enhances the efficiency and accuracy of 9-1-1 call routing but also sets a new standard for interoperability in the industry.
