Let's continue to uplift, support, and champion the rights and voices of women everywhere. 💪✨ #WomensEqualityDay #EmpowerHer #TogetherWeRise

Our vast knowledge of Osceola County infrastructure, gained from over a decade of maintenance and technology support, aided in awarding the ITS Installation, Maintenance, and Support Task Work Order-based agreement with the City of Kissimmee. The City of Kissimmee was seeking to expand its Closed-Circuit Television Camera (CCTV) coverage throughout the area. To avoid overlapping devices, we were able to provide the City with a cost-saving solution by providing access to the existing ITS CCTV cameras versus exhausting City funds. With this approach, the City expressed its gratitude for support and requested Metric to further assist by identifying coverage issues. Under the five task work orders issued to date, we continue to provide the City with exceptional and expeditious services in having several ITS CCTV cameras installed within a week's timeframe. The City has expressed its contentment and continues to implore Metric to provide additional installation services. #ProjectSpotlight #TSM&O
