Signal was developed collaboratively between Intergen and New Zealand Police to meet requirements for the management of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Following this event Intergen have turned the working concept into a globally scalable product and continue to work with New Zealand Police to enhance its capabilities. Furthermore due to its cloud based nature Signal can be used by agencies collaboratively internally and externally at multiple levels of controlled permission.
