CrossWind Technologies uses leading edge technology to create simple, effective real-world solutions using open, standards-based technologies. Our development and business philosophy is to select the technologies that provide the highest performance with the lowest cost-of-ownership to meet customer needs.
Since 2006, we have focused on the law enforcement market. Law enforcement agencies are currently facing a rapidly changing information landscape armed with decades-old software technology. We believe that our technology will provide a many-fold improvement on operations efficiency at half the price of current solutions. More importantly, it will provide law enforcement agencies the ability to stay ahead of the technology curve.
Consistent with our mission, CrossWind began development of the first completely web-enabled CAD/RMS solution for the law enforcement market in 2010. CrossWind partnered with the Burlington Police Department to combine best practices in CAD/RMS workflow and policies with the latest web development tools to create Valcour CAD/RMS™.
Our current technical expertise includes: React, GraphQL, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Javascript, NoSQL (Redis, Memcache), automated testing with (Rspec and Cucumber) and both Linux and Windows server technologies.
Our supporting business model for Valcour CAD/RMS™ is to provide:
CrossWind Technologies’ mission has been to provide simple, effective real-world solutions using standards-based technologies to the public, private and educational sectors. What sets CrossWind apart from most software vendors is that we continue to combine a depth of software development and support experience with the most modern technologies. Since 2006, 100% of our business has been within the public sector, specifically for law enforcement.
CrossWind Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1989 to develop high availability, networked productivity applications for Fortune 1000 companies and the Federal markets. In 1990, our award winning Synchronize™ line of Group Calendaring and Scheduling products enjoyed many technology firsts, including being the first commercial Motif application to market (in any category) as well as the first client-server groupware application (in any category) on the market in 1992. Our next generation product, CyberScheduler for Windows™ was introduced as the first web-enabled group calendar on the market. In 1997, CrossWind introduced the first Linux groupware product on the market with CyberScheduler for Linux™.
Our high-performance architecture enabled our solution to grow to meet the needs of expanding organizations worldwide. Our customer sites included installations with many as thousands of users. Our diverse customer base included technology companies such as Intel, Motorola, Hewlett-Packard and Siemens-Nixdorf, universities such as Carnegie Mellon, University of California Regents, MIT, government agencies such as the NSA, IRS and the Australian Army, and telecom vendors such as Nortel Networks and Bell South. The largest Synchronize installation was part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) workgroup automation project, where CrossWind partnered with IBM to supply Synchronize as a key component in a geographic information system for 30,000 Forest Service employees in 795 locations.
