Sopra Steria STORM Integration

Working with emergency service organisations, local resilience forums, central government teams, and control room operators, 6B provides end-to-end STORM integration covering incident management, resource deployment, CAD systems, geospatial services, call handling, and partner data exchange. Our integrations support safer, faster, and more informed decision-making in time-critical environments.

As emergency response operations modernise — adopting digital communications, real-time location intelligence, mobile data, and cross-agency collaboration — STORM integration becomes essential. 6B enables organisations to maintain operational continuity while unlocking greater efficiency, accuracy, and interoperability across command-and-control ecosystems.

Understanding Sopra Steria STORM Integration

Sopra Steria STORM is a mission-critical command and control system widely used by emergency services to manage calls, incidents, resources, and communication across highly dynamic operational environments. It supports call handling, dispatch, situational awareness, mapping, and incident coordination for policing, fire, ambulance, and multi-agency response.

However, STORM must interact with many other systems to function effectively. These include GIS platforms, mobile data terminals, resource management systems, records and case management platforms, ANPR, PNC/PND services, telephony and radio systems, partner-agency feeds, and real-time situational intelligence tools.

Without effective integration, operators may need to rekey information, manually cross-reference systems, or rely on incomplete or delayed data — increasing response risk and reducing operational efficiency.

STORM integrations must meet stringent requirements for security, resilience, auditability, and real-time performance. 6B designs and delivers integrations that respect operational workflows, sector-specific regulations, information governance, and safety-critical priorities.

Our Sopra Steria STORM Integration Process

We begin by working with operational leaders, control room teams, and IT stakeholders to understand your incident management workflows, existing STORM configuration, and system dependencies. This includes reviewing CAD processes, mapping services, data feeds, communication systems, and partner integration requirements.

Our architects design an integration approach tailored to your operational environment, security model, and network design. Depending on your requirements, this may include API-led integration, secure messaging, event-driven updates, streaming telemetry feeds, real-time mapping connections, or middleware integration layers that ensure resilience and redundancy.

During delivery, our engineers implement APIs, communication interfaces, data pipelines, and transformation services. Data structures are aligned with STORM’s incident, call, and resource models to ensure accuracy across dispatch workflows, resource allocation, and partner-agency communication. Automated testing and high-availability monitoring ensure performance, reliability, and operational safety.

We conduct end-to-end testing across realistic scenarios — from initial call handling to incident creation, resource deployment, and multi-agency coordination. Post-implementation, we provide detailed documentation, operational handover, and optional managed service support for long-term reliability.

Benefits of Sopra Steria STORM Integration

Integration improves situational awareness by bringing together real-time data from multiple systems into a unified control room environment.

Automated data flows reduce manual rekeying, minimise error risk, and speed up incident creation, dispatch, and escalation processes.

Joined-up systems enhance multi-agency cooperation, enabling safer, more coordinated responses across police, fire, ambulance, and local resilience operations.

For control room operators, integration reduces cognitive load, ensures faster access to critical information, and supports more accurate decision-making.

For the public, STORM integration contributes to faster emergency response times, improved service quality, and enhanced community safety.
