Vimes
A universal operating system for government crisis intervention
Vimes is a crisis intervention software solution for government agencies that enables better triaging of at-risk children and adverse populations. Through automated form reporting, secure messaging and information exchange, and live analytics and database tracking, Vimes brings response time for child welfare from an average of 40 days to 12 hours. Vimes’ mission is to become the universal system of record for all adverse populations and central hub for data and communications across all agencies.
