SMFD Demo Day: EVALS In Action

On April 16th, 2015, EVALS teamed up with Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District in order to showcase the EVALS platform in a Fire Academy setting. This joint effort had a great turnout –  26 individuals from 12 different agencies including Sacramento Police Department, Modesto Junior College, Southern Marin Fire Protection District, San Jose Fire Department, Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), Los Angeles County Fire Department, to name a few.

The morning began with our CEO and co-founder, Matt Cole, describing why the EVALS platform was developed, how EVALS started, and the direction EVALS is headed. From there, Evals COO, Mike Johnson, described some of the key functions EVALS current customers and partners are utilizing and the benefits these have created for their students.

The Staff/Evaluator views on the platform were shown on the iPad browser, and through our native app. After a brief instructional period, the entire presentation was moved outside where participants could not only watch the program being used by the Metro Fire Academy Cadre but were given the opportunity to use the iPad Application themselves; seeing first hand why EVALS is being sought after by so many different groups and agencies.

The demonstration was moved back into the classroom, where our participants were able to see the Administrator’s view, along with the records and videos of the evolutions they had just scored out on the drill ground.

Lunch was catered by the Squeeze Inn…and once everyone managed to chip the cheese off their faces and hands, we found ourselves back inside for questions and answers.

We will be conducting another EVALS Demo Day in Southern California in the near future. If you wish to attend, please get in contact with an EVALS Representative.

EVALS Makes Folsom Home

EVALS has placed its roots in the City of Folsom, embroidered with rich history dating back to the Gold Rush, first railroads, and early transmission of electricity. This vibrant community filled with an array of activities has helped EVALS attract talented people to join its team. With a multitude of high tech firms setting up primary or secondary locations, EVALS has joined the ranks of Intel, Micron Technology, Meridian Systems, and L-3 Communications, in the Folsom area.

The Folsom Historic District offers great restaurants, bakeries, pubs, antique shops, and events, that adds another layer of energy and enjoyment to an already energized team. A perfect example of this dates back to our holiday party that concluded with ice skating in the pouring rain. Although, not ideal conditions, it was still a great opportunity for our families and friends to revel in each others company.

Our location has been instrumental in moving forward with strategic partnerships with other businesses and clients alike, forging bonds with SMUD, Wolfpack Solutions, Apple, GoPro, and many more. EVALS is an organization that is cloud based with members and partners all over the world, but finds itself thriving in the community of Folsom.

EVALS visits APPLE

After returning from three days on the road visiting Apple stores in Salt Lake City, Rancho Cucamonga, and Newport Beach, EVALS  could not be more excited about the future of technology and the benefits a mobile workforce will realize by taking advantage of these advancements.

By working closely with Apple, our partner, Wolfpack Solutions, has been able to identify significant improvements in effectiveness and efficiency for Public Safety. When properly implemented, iOS can help every division in the Fire Service and Law Enforcement.

Matt Cole speaks to guests at Apple Rancho Cucamonga

EVALS was honored to sit at the table with Wolfpack solutions and Tablet Command to share our product features and benefits. Although Salt Lake City and Southern California are 700 miles apart, fire agencies in these areas share pain points and stand side by side in the mission to find ways to make training better.

EVALS feels very fortunate to have regional fire service leaders, the most innovating tech company (Apple), and amazing partners collaborating with us and discussing what collectively can be accomplished by working together.
