Deccan International provides decision-support software solutions to more than 300 Fire & EMS departments and agencies across the United States and Canada.

Deccan International started in 1996 as a small business owned and operated by Latha and Raj Nagaraj. Raj had worked for the government of the District of Columbia as a Senior Project Manager where he was tasked with improving the Metropolitan Police Department’s handling of 9-1-1 calls. Raj proposed substituting consulting reports with a “map-based station and apparatus analysis tool.” District F

ire Chief Otis Latin (now Emergency Services Director for the City of Austin) used Raj’s proposal to explore alternate scenarios for his own department. Impressed with the results, Chief Latin invited Raj to present at the Metro Fire Chief’s Conference. Success was virtually instantaneous. Fire chiefs nationwide asked if such a tool could be built for their own agencies. With the encouragement of first responders in EMS as well as fire, Raj and Latha soon launched Deccan International with headquarters in San Diego. The company not only offered modeling software analyses tools for fire departments and EMS operations but also performed the required consulting and project management. First-class client support quickly became the company’s trademark. Inception of ADAM
Deccan's flagship product is a station location analysis tool dubbed ADAM for Apparatus Deployment Analysis Module. The Denver Fire Department served as the beta site for ADAM running the initial tests with the Department’s data set. Satisfied with the results ADAM produced, DFD promptly purchased three years of maintenance. With faith in the software as demonstrated in Denver, more than 80 Fire/EMS departments—including FDNY—acquired ADAM and are now using the tool for standard strategic deployment analysis. Realization of CAD Analyst
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was the first department to acquire Deccan’s software through an outside source. A consultant to the department had used ADAM’s recommendations regarding the number of medical units required to meet a target response time. While working with ADAM, the consultant realized the necessity of discovering and analyzing current response time performance. This spurred Raj to conceive and build CAD Analyst which, in turn, made PBCFR the driver of the applications’ creation. Today, Deccan offers CAD Analyst and ADAM as a tool in tandem for emergency decision-makers and managers.
