Mission-Critical Application Operations

Every day, dispatchers, officers, clinicians, and analysts depend on a specific stack of applications: CAD, RMS, JMS, EHR, 911 call handling, and mobile. When those applications slow down, misbehave, or fall out of integration, the mission stops. Sentinel runs the day-to-day operations of that stack so agency technology staff can focus on local priorities rather than babysitting vendor tickets.

WHAT WE DO

Four pillars. One accountable operator.

Day-to-day operations for the applications the mission depends on.

01

System Administration & Platform Health

Day-to-day administration of CAD, RMS, JMS, EHR, and related platforms. User provisioning, configuration management, patch deployment, upgrade orchestration, and performance monitoring across Motorola, Hexagon, CentralSquare, Tyler, Mark43, RapidSOS, Epic, Cerner, and peer systems.

02

Integration Monitoring & Interoperability

Most outages live in the pipes between systems. GIS to CAD, CAD to RMS, RMS to state reporting, EHR to exchange, mobile to records. Continuous health monitoring of every integration with root-cause identification when something breaks.

03

Vendor Management & SLA Governance

Single accountable point for every vendor in the mission-critical stack. SLA enforcement, ticket escalation, contract performance reviews, and structured vendor scorecards. Replaces the internal coordination tax of managing six to twelve vendors directly.

04

Version & Upgrade Management

Major version upgrades, quarterly releases, regulatory updates, and feature rollouts. Test environment management, impact analysis, pilot cohort coordination, and production cutover planning. Prevents the silent version drift that breaks integrations and compounds technical debt.

WHY IT MATTERS

The operational stakes.

  • An agency running CAD, RMS, JMS, mobile, and 911 call handling has at minimum 6 to 12 vendor contracts to manage.
  • Integration failures cause more operational downtime than application outages.
  • Missed upgrade windows compound risk; skipping two quarterly releases typically means a 6-month catch-up project.
  • Vendor escalation performance directly determines outage duration.
  • Local IT staff turnover is rising; continuity of platform knowledge is a real operational risk.

Ongoing Retainer

Sentinel Sustain™

After implementation closes, Sentinel Sustain keeps the operating model active across the life of the investment. Three tiers: Core, Active, and Strategic.
