One incident, both boards.
Shared and mutual aid calls appear on both platforms so dispatchers on either side see the same picture without re-keying anything.
Integration · Southern Software
CAD and RMS data that moves both ways, or moves out for good.
Echo911 built an importer and a real-time sync tool for Southern Software CAD and RMS. Agencies that stay on Southern Software can share live data with EchoCAD agencies around them. Agencies ready to leave can convert fully to EchoCAD and EchoRMS, and every record comes along.
Available now for both CAD and RMS data. Configured and supported by Echo911.
Real-time sync
Share with Southern Software agencies, live.
Counties and regions rarely run one CAD brand. The sync tool keeps EchoCAD and Southern Software agencies working from the same data, calls and records both, in real time.
THEIR PLATFORM
Southern Software CAD / RMS
Agencies that stay keep their system, their workflows, and their vendor.

YOUR PLATFORM
EchoCAD + EchoRMS
Shared calls and records land in the console, MDT, and mobile apps your people use.
RMS data where it's needed.
Synced records mean an officer in the field isn't blind to what a neighboring agency already knows, whichever RMS the data started in.
Cooperation without conversion.
Regional partners keep their Southern Software investment. Your agency gets EchoCAD. The data moves anyway.
Full conversion
The Southern Software importer.
For agencies leaving Southern Software entirely, the importer carries both CAD and RMS data into EchoCAD and EchoRMS in a guided, verified migration.
Your data, mapped field by field.
Echo911 extracts your Southern Software CAD and RMS data and maps it onto EchoCAD and EchoRMS structures: calls, persons, vehicles, reports, and history.
Loaded, then proven.
The importer loads everything into EchoCAD, and your records staff verify counts and spot-check records against the source before go-live.
Leave the contract, not the data.
Your agency starts on EchoCAD with its own history searchable from day one, and the legacy system can be decommissioned on your schedule.
Why agencies make the move.
- One platform, not modules: CAD, MDT, mobile, 911 phone, and RMS in a single connected system
- Built-in EchoRMS: master person and vehicle records, reports, warrants, BOLOs, and evidence with chain of custody
- NENA-standard GIS and Esri-compatible mapping maintained through the EchoCAD GIS workbench
- Live-tested migration: the sync tool can run before, during, and after the import, so there is no data blackout
Two tools, one goal.
- Sync if you or your partners are staying on Southern Software
- Import if your agency is converting to EchoCAD and EchoRMS
- Both if you want a soft transition: sync through the change, import at cutover
FAQ
Southern Software integration questions.
Does this cover CAD, RMS, or both?
Both. The sync tool and the importer work with Southern Software CAD and RMS data, so calls for service and records can be shared live or migrated fully into EchoCAD and EchoRMS.
We work with a neighboring agency on Southern Software. Can we share data without either of us switching?
Yes. The real-time sync connects EchoCAD with Southern Software agencies so both sides see shared data on their own platform. Nobody has to convert to cooperate.
What happens to our records if we convert?
They come with you. The importer moves your Southern Software CAD and RMS data into EchoCAD and EchoRMS in a guided, verified migration, so your agency starts on the new platform with its history in place.
Can we run both systems during the transition?
Yes. A common path is to run the real-time sync while dispatchers and records staff learn EchoCAD, then run the final import and cut over once your agency is comfortable.
