John J. O’Dell, DP&O’S CTO, is one of the founders of ESi® and pioneered the concept of WebEOC® as the first web-based Crisis Information Management Systems (CIMS). He has extensive experience in the design and development of complex command, control and emergency facilities, and specializes in Crisis Information Management Systems and critical systems integration technology.

    complex. The project’s combination of large screen projection and unique information management systems saved hundreds of thousands of dollars and earned the project team an extremely rare second George Westinghouse Signature Award for Service Excellence in Logistics Engineering.

  • During this period, his WSRC responsibilities were expanded to include management of all emergency systems related to EOC automation and 9-1-1 center operation. His work included researching, developing, and implementing various automation initiatives used nationally by DOE emergency managers. As the first to offer an internet-based emergency management information system, Mr. O’Dell and ESi® raised the bar in Emergency Operations Center (EOC) systems when they introduced WebEOC®.

  • In 1996, Mr. O’Dell and his partners founded ESi® as a DOE/Westinghouse “spin out” company. ESi® initially was focused on 9-1-1 center systems integration and Mr. O’Dells ground breaking integration techniques developed the first integrated (radio, telephone, CAD, mapping, video, and NCIC) 9-1-1 console called the “Universal Dispatcher”. The concept is in use today at nearly every 9-1-1 center in the country. In 2013 Mr. O’Dell and his partners sold ESi® to Intermedix and served as a Senior VP focusing on Professional Services, Sales, and Implementations for customers worldwide.
