The necessary basics are safety and smooth-running operations in critical utilities, transportation and emergency services. Safety in cities and densely populated areas depends on multiple services in a working with singular purpose on common objectives. However, there is no overall view of risk, no single responsible authority, and no unified funding that spans across public and private sector services and levels of government. Hexagon helps cities and communities to become safer and more resilient by providing connectivity between systems, collaboration between teams, and greater intelligence in operations, which leads to sustainable solutions and more accountable services.
