At the time this was written, SmartCOP, Inc. was doing business as CTS America.

CTS America was recently awarded a contract with the state of Georgia. The team at CTS is excited to work with the Georgia State Patrol and is planning for the wide variety of tasks ahead.

As part of the agreement, CTS will assist the Georgia State Patrol in consolidating 48 dispatch locations into 11 efficient, regional communication centers over a two year period. CTS will install hardware at the new dispatch centers and in 833 Georgia State Patrol vehicles. With the help of CTS America, Georgia State Patrol vehicles will allow troopers to complete almost every aspect of their job electronically. Transmitting information to their supervisors will be seamless and convenient, allowing troopers to stay on the road serving their communities.

CTS is also pleased to announce that Georgia local government and educational institutions are now permitted to purchase CTS and partner products though the Georgia State contract, which is administered by the Georgia Department of Administrative Services. Available products include CAD, Records Management System, Mobile Computer and Jail Management.

Key benefits of the contract include:

Cost Benefits

• Aggressive Software Licensing Costs
• Lower Maintenance Costs
• Reduced Labor Costs
• Aggressive Pricing and Service Agreement with Dell
• Eliminates the requirement for a RFP

Service Benefits

• Complete solution pricing for hardware from Dell and Computer Aided Dispatch, Records Management System, Vehicles Software, Hardware and Installation
• CTS America and Dell will work with agencies to customize quotation for software and hardware to meet their needs.
• 24/7 Support Desk is provided by CTS for software service and 4 hour service response is offered from Dell.

All agencies have different requirements and therefore, a customized quotation will be provided for your needs. The State Contract provides pricing from Dell for hardware, from Jotto Desk for vehicle consoles and computer mounts, and from Interceptor Public Safety for vehicle installation. With your quote from CTS for software and services, the Authorized User or Agency will be provided a set of hardware specifications and quantities. With your permission, CTS will submit those specifications to Dell pursuant to the State of Georgia Contract under which the state has negotiated aggressive pricing for the hardware component. They will present you with a complete quote. Alternately, you may take the recommended hardware configurations and numbers and seek a quote directly from Dell or the hardware manufacturer of your choice. CTS has certified specific configurations of hardware to work with their software and specific services from Dell for hardware installation. Your actual order will be placed based on an agreed Statement of Work including specific progress and payment milestones.

Come by our booth at the Georgia Sheriffs Command Conference April 22nd at Stone Mtn. to see our products be demonstrated and talk with our team.

We look forward to serving you and your agencies, and encourage you to contact us with questions.

Sincerely,
Jim Benson
CTS America Chief Operating Officer
