Hi Dolores, interested to hear about your experience using CD. We used it for the FIRED-uP procurements at London Fire Brigade and will be publishing a report on the results within the next couple of months. We are currently in the pilot phase with two innovative vehicle information systems being installed on one of our frontline vehicles. Look forward to hearing more about your project. Abby
