Back in 2018 we were looking at a, to revamp our emergency management system. So it was just an older integrated system. Speakers, you hit a button, you get a tone and that's pretty much it. Didn't do anything else. So you had to work out, you know, was it a lockdown? Wasn't either, you know, the typical old school emergency management system. So our focus was to try and integrate a whole bunch of different systems together. You know, fire alarms, sirens going off, SMS emails. And one of the, one of the important critical things that we, that we highlighted was signage. One of the key mediums is when an emergency or lockdown occurs, you know, is what's happening and the screen is directly in front of all the students and staff for the most of the time that these things occur. So how are we going to do that? We knew that we had at that stage probably we covered 50% of our school and Vivies across middle and junior school. So we thought, okay, well let's see what we can do. So we contacted your development team and sure enough they were kind of on that path already. But we're absolutely more than happy to help us develop that API with them and be one of the first.
