Pangaea is pleased to announce that we are moving our offices to the second floor of the building effective March 12 2010. The move provides us with over 30% more space which will allow us to accommodate our projected growth over the next 5 years. Our new address will be:
Pangaea Information Technologies, Ltd
219 W. Chicago Ave
2nd Floor
Chicago, IL 60654
Our telephone and fax numbers will remain the same.
Pangaea is honored to have had the opportunity to work with MAJ Troy Scott. It is a true honor and pleasure to provide support to people of MAJ Scott’s character and integrity. We at Pangaea feel fortunate to be able to work along side of our men and women in uniform.
This announcement is further proof that we need to leverage and integrate existing and planned applications and decision support tools to provide early detection and management of incidents involving biological and chemical threat agents. Pangaea has existing systems (GUARDIAN and JICS) that address these needs and could serve as integral surveillance and management tools to ensure that we are able to quickly detect potential incidents and support intelligent management decisions which will help to minimize the impact and more importantly, save lives.
We at Pangaea would like to wish everyone a joyous, healthy and prosperous New Year. We are thankful to all of our clients and business partners for making 2009 a successful year despite the trying economic conditions. As we enter 2010 we are fortunate to be in a position to enjoy continued growth. We constantly hear politicians on both sides of the aisle discuss how small business is the backbone of this country and the key to full economic recovery in spite of the fact that none of them ever do anything to promote small business. This country is beholden to multi-national, bottom line driven corporations and powerful special interest groups. In spite of this, small business continues to thrive and succeed, battling government red tape and large corporate entities whose rigid, out-dated management techniques are designed to prevent the innovation and agility required to navigate in these difficult and changing times.
This is an interesting project developed by the International Society for Disease Surveillance (ISDS). This application is a step in the right direction to provide national disease surveillance although it only focuses on ILI. The following description is from the Distribute website:
Distribute, a project of the International Society for Disease Surveillance (ISDS), is a distributed, influenza surveillance system that uses summarized, influenza like illness (ILI) syndrome data from existing visit level syndromic surveillance systems developed by public health agencies. It is dedicated to real-time data evaluation, allowing for more rapid surveillance and improved decision making. This project utilizes anonymous visit count data submitted from a variety of public health departments and organizations, in conjunction with Google charts and visualizations and a web services tool kit developed at the University of Washington named Shoki, to generate a real-time display of summarized daily data.
