Temporarily filling of roles such as quality, security, program, or project manager.”
Control Room Application Consultancy (PSIM, SMS, PSAP)
The role and position of control rooms are evolving. They are becoming increasingly important in ensuring the continuity of a wide variety of organizational processes. Their tasks are no longer limited to monitoring the safety level. Control rooms are also responsible for managing building facilities, production processes, information management, emergency response, and personal well-being. This growing complexity makes the role of the control room operators more challenging. Therefore, these underlying systems and information flows are integrated into a single fully integrated application, such as a PSIM, SMS, or PSAP system. This allows different applications to be managed and controlled from a unified user interface. This not only enhances usability but also offers numerous advantages in terms of data integration, dashboarding, and application management. We assist our clients in the configuration of these applications. Our services include:
- Independent advice for selecting the right product and service combination that aligns with the client’s needs and preferences.
- Workflow configuration and process management in control room applications.
- Application management of control room applications.
- Transition to an information-driven work practices based on data integration and smart algorithms.
Your control room is the pulsating heart of your organization. It’s the central information hub where production, security, facility management, IT, and safety converge. Increasingly, a control room acts as the vital connection between these various business units and your operational processes. This is where humans, organization, and technology converge. A strong synergy across these focus areas is crucial, both for the smooth flow of operational (control room) processes and to support your employees in their tasks.
An efficiently functioning control room contributes to operational continuity and the quality of your products and services. With the Control Room Maturity Model, we offer an opportunity to independently assess this performance and provide insight into the current state of your control room. Based on the knowledge and experience of our experts, it’s evaluated across three focus areas: human, organization, and technology. We’re here to help you further professionalize your control room by charting a development path together, offering you tools to elevate it to a higher maturity level. Using the results of the control room assessment, we provide concrete recommendations tailored to your desires, needs, and organization.
The Control Room Maturity Model was collaboratively developed by the Control Room Institute(Meldkamerinstituut), 3MC, and Nenova IT. This partnership embodies the unique expertise of each organization in the respective focus areas: human (Meldkamerinstituut), organization (3MC), and technology (Nenova IT). Through this exceptional collaboration, we can offer a comprehensive package, enabling us to examine your control room organization from all these perspectives.
Starting from this foundation, we embarked on developing the Control Room Maturity Model. It’s an integrated model that not only assesses the maturity level of the entire control room but also evaluates all supporting components. In total, we evaluate a control room against nine different measurement points: skill, talent, behavior, culture, collaboration, environment, technology, system, and data.
The model provides specific insights per measurement point while offering an integrated developmental perspective for your entire control room organization. This holistic approach is unique and assists you in progressively professionalizing your control room. It equips you with tools to achieve development that aligns with your growth requirements. Below, you can find the Control Room Model featuring the three focus areas and the nine measurement points.
If you require an independent assessment of your control room’s maturity level, we’re eager to discuss the value we can bring to your organization. Based on your questions and needs, as well as the type and size of your control room, we offer three types of control room assessments: bronze, silver, and gold. The bronze option serves as the entry level, and the gold variant offers the most comprehensive assessment.
Irrespective of your choice of a bronze, silver, or gold assessment, the team will consist of at least four individuals. Each area of focus—human, organization, and technology—will have its specialist. Additionally, there will always be someone acting as the primary contact point for you as the client, overseeing the organization of the control room assessment. This individual handles communication and ensures the quality of our services. acting as a link between the three focus areas and the involved experts.
Depending on your chosen variant, we will be present in your organization for at least one day to multiple days. Through interviews, observations, and document analyses, our specialists will gain insights into the current state of your control room. Depending on the chosen variant, the findings and results will be presented to you differently. This ranges from a concise report in the bronze variant to a fully developed growth model in the gold variant. We’re eager to converse with you and determine which variant suits you best.
The Control Room Maturity Model is designed to be universally applicable across various markets and types of control rooms. This applies to both smaller versions and larger multidisciplinary and multifunctional control rooms. We observe that the role of control rooms is evolving, and the importance of effective operation is increasing—both for government agencies and businesses. From large offices to hospitals, universities, municipalities, transport providers, correctional facilities, industrial complexes, air and sea ports, the cultural and events sector, and, of course, the control rooms of our emergency services.
In many environments, the control room is no longer merely a place for security but has evolved into a central information hub where security, facility management, IT, and safety intersect. This is a crucial component for every organization. If you possess a control room and believe that this model might be of interest to you, we’re keen to discuss this with you.
We firmly believe that an objective assessment of your control room can only be conducted by entities with an independent character. The Control Room Maturity Model was developed by Nenova IT, 3MC, and Meldkamerinstituut. All three organizations guarantee this independence and are not tied to fixed suppliers or installers. This allows us to offer you a 100% independent perspective on the current state of your control room, focusing solely on what matters to your organization.

In today’s landscape, there is a multitude of systems available for your safety, security, or building management needs. These range from individual systems for each of these processes to fully integrated solutions, where everything converges into a single system.
Given this vast array of options, determining what is essential for your organization can be a complex task. Should you opt for a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) System, a Security Management System (SMS), a Building Management System, or perhaps a combination? We understand that making this decision can be challenging. Due to the lack of information and limited insights into vendors and platforms in the market, it’s difficult to make an informed choice. We’re here to assist you!
We collaborate closely with the majority of vendors and provide you with unbiased advice on the best match for your organization. Our team is trained and certified in various platforms, enabling us to compare them in more than 300 aspects, including functionality, cultural fit, pricing, and market specialization.
We engage in discussions with you to map out your processes and functional needs. This allows us to translate them into a selection of the most suitable platforms and vendors. This is a complex challenge where numerous aspects come into play. While many organizations start from a technical standpoint, our focus is on achieving the best information position. This benefits both the organization and the users of these systems.
Effective information management enables you to align your information provision in the domains of safety, security, and building management with your specific organizational context and business processes. This results in an improved information position, enhanced efficiency, and the ability to work in an information-driven manner.
Through our unique approach, we empower you to make an informed decision and take control in choosing the best solution.
The foundation of effective safety and security solutions begins with sound advice based on your functional requirements, IT knowledge, and insights into the vital processes of your organization. We are here to guide and advise you throughout the entire journey, from concept to the realization of the most suitable solution. Collaboratively creating the design, jointly developing, and innovating together. This is essential to achieve an end result that aligns with your functional needs.
Working alongside you, we analyze the work environment and processes. What information do your professionals require to execute their tasks effectively? Together, we translate operational and functional requirements into an optimal workflow. This serves as the foundation for every technical solution. We can assist you in crafting the tender and then identify the best parties, fitting your specific needs. Jointly, we select the finest advisors, integrators, suppliers, and installers.
Constructing and configuring control rooms demands expertise. Collaboration is the key to success in this endeavor. We oversee this collaboration from start to finish. We convey your workflows to the developers and suppliers of control room services and technology. Additionally, we can organize demos to familiarize your professionals with the control room environment’s systems.
Our support doesn’t conclude after establishing your control room environment or operational information system. We are also at your service in setting up change management processes and functional management. This ensures that your systems consistently meet the desired quality level and adapt to developments within and outside your organization.
The implementation of the platform is not the final destination. Even after implementation, adjustments need to be made to ensure that the setup continually meets your wishes and needs. Additionally, platform updates are regularly provided; how do you roll these out and integrate them into your processes?
Many organizations and/or security departments grapple with the challenge of bridging the gap between safety, security, and ICT. The essential link in this regard is functional management. Often, the (security) department lacks the knowledge of effectively conducting functional management. The IT department/integrator handles the technical application management of the control room system; however, they frequently lack the specific functional domain and process knowledge needed to configure the system according to users’ requirements and desires.
During tenders and the deployment of new control room systems, functional management is often “forgotten” or underestimated. Many vendors claim to provide it, but they actually perform technical application management and “forget” about the processes and users. Little do they realize that this is precisely the success factor for users’ adoption of the system.
Functional Management’s task is to ensure that the configuration of the control room system best supports users in their tasks. Everything configurable within a control room system falls under the responsibility of the functional manager, such as optimizing the user interface, implementing workflows, and dashboards. Additionally, it encompasses establishing processes for controlled changes (change management, configuration management, training superusers, managing FAQs, etc.).
Effectively conducting functional management of control room systems doesn’t have to be time-consuming, provided that the right (functional) knowledge is present about the systems, control room processes, the physical security chain, and the landscape of vendors and integrators. An alternative solution is to outsource functional management to an external party. This way, you bring specialized expertise on board.
Nenova IT offers “functional management as a service,” which relieves you of the burden of establishing and conducting functional management of your control room system. Drawing upon our functional system knowledge and process expertise, our BISL certified consultants help align the control room system with your needs through small iterative steps—what we call continuous improvement.
Nenova IT possesses functional knowledge of control room systems from leading vendors in the industry, including: Entelec, High Security International, Beveco, Johnson Controls, Genetec, and Advancis.
Information is crucial in the realm of safety and security. Control rooms and command centers act as vital hubs where information constantly flows in and out. Information about incidents and threats is continuously analyzed, and based on this information, dispatchers and operators need to make complex decisions.
Analyzing and prioritizing this growing influx of information is no easy task. How can dispatchers and operators maintain an overview and filter relevant information from the vast streams of data under time pressure? Smart technology can provide support in this regard.
It’s a matter of intelligently organizing information management throughout the entire process from alert to response. By using tools and algorithms, data streams can be transformed into an operational picture. This allows dispatchers and operators to maintain control over the situation. This is essential because they serve as the lifeline for the men and women in the field. They continuously provide backup and assist in image assessment, judgment, and decision-making. This ensures that every link in the chain has the right information. A reliable information process forms a crucial foundation, enabling organizations to act proactively and adapt flexibly to the evolving nature of an incident.
Developing and implementing innovative solutions to meet this information demand is Nenova’s specialty. We understand the market and are aware of the intelligent solutions available. If we can’t find a suitable solution, we create one in collaboration with partners in our ecosystem. “Together we Innovate.”
Fire alarms, cameras, access gates, intrusion sensors, communication systems, lighting sensors, and so on. The number of sensors and systems within organizations is growing like never before. A potential goldmine for your organization. By collecting, analyzing, and presenting data through interactive dashboards, reports, and notification alerts, you can take the step towards becoming an information-driven organization.
Smart and innovative solutions help you look ahead. By combining data from various sources, you can make better-informed decisions and shift the focus from reactive to proactive, and eventually to predictive actions. Think of automated alarm handling, reduced false alarms, decision support, and predictive maintenance. These measures help you save costs and time.
Nenova IT assists organizations in taking this step and choosing the platform and supplier that best aligns with your business. We connect the data derived from your safety and security processes with your core business processes. Together, we determine which information is relevant for your organization and how you can transition to a data-driven control room.
We work closely with leading industry partners, including SAS and Notilyze. They provide a Data Cloud Platform that enables you to generate actionable insights from centrally collected data from your PSIM.
All with Guts, Innovation, Experience, and Fun.

Your independent functional expert in Control Room Information Management Systems.
Partners
Nenova believes in co-creation and innovation together with our clients and partners. We take in a connecting role between parties in the public and private safety, security and control room domain. We call this our ‘Ecosystem,’ a system where co-creation, collaboration, information sharing, and innovation are at the core. Our ecosystem embraces advisors, integrators, installers, and suppliers of hardware and software.
We have established several solid partnerships with renowned organisations. However, we will always independently seek the best product and service combination for our clients. What best suits your organization, processes, and needs. Thanks to these flexible partnerships, we can quickly respond to your challenges and consistently propose the most suitable solution.
Together, we contribute to a safer world.
Markets
Our world is becoming increasingly complex. Not only safety and security are more intertwined, but other disciplines such as technology, behavioral sciences, quality, and environmental management are also increasingly influencing each other. The perspective on the realm of safety is evolving into a holistic whole of processes and components. The world is shifting from being a collection of fragmented units to a uniform entity of processes and components that exert continuous influence on each other. This has led to a growing need for an integrated approach to organizational and societal challenges.
We strive for an approach that is universally applicable across various markets. Our focus lies on government agencies and companies that are part of the critical infrastructure of the Netherlands. However, we do not overlook the societal significance of other parties. In the complex society we live in, every link is essential. We will search for suitable solutions for each party, tailored to your needs and organization.
Emergency and Response services:including fire departments, police, ambulance services, security services, and affiliated organizations crucial for ensuring public safety.
Medical Service Providers and Healthcare Organizations with a vital role in public health, including hospitals, GGD’en, en thuiszorgorganisaties (personenalarmering).
Judicial Institutions: prisons, closed institutions, and forensic psychiatric clinics.
Mobility and Transportation: airports, seaports, shipping companies, cruise lines, railway sector, road management, and parking garages.
Local and Regional Governments: provinces, municipalities, and water authorities..
Culture & Sports: museums, theaters, sports events, and festivals.
Defense: military components playing a role in national and international security, strategic and tactical operational centers, specialized response units, surveillance, and security, Royal Military Police.
Critical Business Sectors: energy producers and distributors, water supply companies, major industries, companies with significant external safety risks.
Smart information systems contribute to safety, livability, and sustainability.
Future Vision
“How do we envision the future of safety, security, and control rooms?” A question we regularly ask ourselves. Society is becoming more complex, and (technical) developments follow each other rapidly. We are constantly confronted with new risks and threats. Our answer to this question is succinct. “To meet the challenges of the 21st century, we must collaborate and innovate.”
Society is becoming more digital, and the amount of available information is increasing. Smart information systems can contribute to the safety, livability, and sustainability of a business, city, or country. The influence of control rooms and control centers extends beyond incident and crisis management. The possibilities go beyond the realms of safety and security.
In ‘smart buildings’, we see software platforms forming connections between information and automation systems. Information from access control, fire safety, video, and building automation systems comes together. The same development is visible in ‘smart cities’. Thousands of sensors collect data, such as smart cameras, traffic lights, weather stations, and lighting. This data is then filtered by intelligent systems. This offers significant opportunities in areas such as emergency response, crime prevention, energy and mobility management.
We see systems communicating and collaborating more effectively. Information sharing and collaboration are essential. Between companies, government agencies, and especially between public and private entities. Clear agreements must be made on how to efficiently and safely set up these systems. We are here to help. Because only together can we contribute to a safer world.
