(MENAFNEditorial) BETHESDA, Md., July 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --BlueLine Grid today announced the "Grid bot" for Cisco's Spark platform, a first-of-its-kind connector linking all other communication channels, including SMS, email, other collaboration platforms such as Skype and Slack, and mass conference calling, all from within Cisco's Spark collaboration platform.

The Grid bot is based on BlueLine Grid's proprietary "Promontory" platform, named for the Utah summit where the golden spike connected the Transcontinental Railroad.

(PRNewsfoto/BlueLine Grid)... BlueLine Grid is marketing the Grid bot as a service extension to Cisco Spark. The initial use case involves connecting silos between government agencies and corporations to advance public safety and emergency communications.

"BlueLine' Grid's Promontory technology provides first-of-its-kind interoperability between collaboration platforms, and we are proud that our first release is with our partners at Cisco," BlueLine Grid founders Jack Weiss and Dave Riker said in a joint statement. "We are enthusiastic to expand Spark's collaboration toolbox to include mass notification, conference calling, location tracking and cross-platform collaboration with communities outside of Spark," Riker and Weiss said.

BlueLine Grid has received strategic investments from In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the U.S. Intelligence Community, and Motorola Solutions, which is integrating BlueLine Grid's innovative software with Motorola's public safety radio systems.
