Accela, Keyhole, and Microsoft have teamed together to provide a first look at government-centric demonstrations showcasing the presentation, communication, storage, and security features available in the .NET 2.0 framework, as well as the new Windows operating system (O.S.), code-named Longhorn.

Together, the companies created a demonstration using Accela’s mobile government product, Accela Wireless™, and its Emergency Response Solution, a powerful disaster planning and mitigation tool that provides rapid damage assessment, reporting, and inspection capabilities. Specifically, the demonstration shows how a mobile inspector in the field benefits from a suite of services made available via Accela Wireless and the .NET framework, and more dramatically, how emergency operations centers (EOC) can connect government agencies, citizens, and businesses to respond more effectively to a crisis.
