The software developer Cortech Developments has launched Datalog 5, a new version of the companys core product, the Datalog Security Management Suite (SMS) to allow organisations to integrate their building, fire and security control technology into a single integrated solution. Mark Thomas, Sales Director at Cortech Developments, says, “We have put great emphasis on an enhanced, more intuitive, user interface thus making it easier for control room operators and managers to work with Datalog 5." The software suite shall provide a fast overview with coloured graphics providing clear location reporting, so that there is no need for extensive operator training. Navigation around the system is simplified by pointing or clicking on the graphical display to zoom in or out of a building, area or floor plan. [www.cortech.co.uk]
