A proposito di questo titolo

Beyond the Launch is a podcast for public safety leaders, project managers, and technology partners who know that implementation doesn’t end at go-live.

Each episode explores Customer Success and implementation strategies that drive real adoption, not just installations; ensuring 9-1-1 technology is used effectively, consistently, and with measurable impact.

We dive into the people, processes, and practices that turn new systems into better outcomes: faster response, smarter decisions, and improved service to the communities we serve.

Because success isn’t launching technology.
It’s what happens after.

  • Episode 6: Beyond Implementation: Turning 911 Technology into Life-Saving Outcomes: Michael Martin
    Apr 16 2026

    Learn how innovative AI solutions are revolutionizing emergency response. Discover the inspiring journey of RapidSOS and its impact on public safety.

    ## Why Traditional Approaches Fail

    The conventional methods of emergency response are often limited by outdated technology. For instance, traditional systems might locate a caller within 60 meters, which is insufficient in urgent situations. Michael emphasizes that technology should not only provide location data but also facilitate faster, more accurate responses.

    ### The Role of AI in Emergency Response

    RapidSOS has developed innovative solutions that integrate AI with public safety protocols.

    ## Key Takeaways from the Conversation

    - Technology and Humanity: While technology plays a crucial role, Michael stresses that it cannot replace the human touch in emergency services. The commitment of telecommunicators and responders is irreplaceable.

    - Continuous Learning: The journey of integrating AI into public safety is ongoing. Michael and his team are constantly learning from public safety professionals to refine their technology.

    - Impact Measurement: Success in public safety should not only be measured by speed but also by the number of lives saved and the effectiveness of response strategies.

    ## Conclusion

    The integration of technology in public safety is not just about speed; it’s about saving lives. Michael Martin’s insights underscore the importance of innovation in enhancing emergency response systems. As we continue to witness advancements in AI, the potential for improved outcomes in public safety remains significant.

  • Episode 5: Designing a Seamless Customer Journey from Implementation to Adoption
    Apr 1 2026

    What if you could transform customer interactions into lasting success?

    Tag someone who needs to rethink their approach to customer journeys!

    Today, we're diving into CJ Casuto's powerful question about creating a seamless journey from implementation to adoption.

    Many organizations treat customer success, implementation, and product adoption as separate phases. But what if I told you that aligning these phases can lead to measurable value?

    First, we need to capture sales intelligence. Knowing how your team operates under pressure is crucial. Understand the roles, political dynamics, and what success looks like for your leaders.

    If you don’t define success from their perspective, you might create something that works but doesn’t truly matter.

    To avoid this, ensure your CRM captures vital stakeholder information and triggers actionable insights. Your CRM should be the nervous system of your customer journey, not just a database.

    Let's rethink how we approach customer success together!
