Mission Critical Partners Announces 2024 Best Project Award Winners

Published

on

Instituted this year, the awards recognize innovation and impact, as determined by an independent panel.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Mission Critical Partners announced the recipients of two awards that the firm instituted this year: the 2023 Most Innovative Project Award and the 2023 Most Impactful Project Award. The award winners were announced at the firm’s 2024 kickoff event, held in January, which was the fourth annual virtual gathering of MCP’s 200 subject-matter experts (SMEs) for strategy and educational sessions.

We’re very proud of everyone associated with these most innovative and impactful projects, which are moving the needle in terms of enhancing public-safety and public-sector outcomes.

An independent panel of outside representatives voted on this year’s award nominations submitted by the firm’s SMEs. The award recipients are as follows:

Most Innovative Project Award Winner – 911 DataPath — This award considers a project’s goals; how the goals advanced the client’s mission and resulted in enhanced public-safety or justice outcomes; and, most importantly, the innovative way the goals are being achieved. The 911 DataPath project of the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration received this award for 2023.

Large amounts of data are being generated and collected by a plethora of local, regional, state, tribal, and federal entities, but the effort is falling short due to a lack of data uniformity and an inability to share data seamlessly whenever and wherever it is required. In addition, no method exists for holistically measuring the 911 community’s ability to collect and share data. The 911 DataPath project, supported by MCP subject-matter experts, is addressing these shortcomings by collaboratively driving consensus concerning data collection and data sharing across the 911 community.

Most Innovative Project Award Runner-Up – Missouri Department of Transportation — The department sought a way to leverage a wide variety of rich data that it possessed to enhance its decision-making and improve the efficiency of its maintenance operations. MCP SMEs worked collaboratively with department personnel to design, develop, test, and implement the MoDOT Management System (MMS),which is a web-responsive (i.e., scalable for mobile screens), integrated system used today by personnel in the state’s seven districts. A key element of MMS is a visually appealing and easy-to-navigate dashboard that enables officials to drill down on key performance indicators and other metrics in real time.

The project results have been tremendous, to the point that its first phase received the Missouri Governor’s Award for Quality and Productivity, which recognizes service excellence, efficiency, innovation, process improvement, and employee ingenuity. Since implementation, more than 3,000 maintenance personnel have transitioned to MMS, eliminating time-consuming and error-prone legacy paper-based reporting processes, and replacing them with more-efficient electronic processes.

Most Impactful Project Award Winner – Hamblen County (Tennessee) 911 Center — This award considers the degree to which a project has benefitted a client’s stakeholders or its personnel. The Hamblen County (Tennessee) Emergency Communications District (ECD)’s 911 center was suffering from an acute staffing shortage that placed tremendous strain on telecommunicators and supervisors, resulting in a considerable amount of burnout, low morale, and persistent vacancies.

Working collaboratively with ECD leadership, MCP subject-matter experts conducted a comprehensive salary and benefits study. It was determined that substandard compensation was the biggest factor by far in the 911 center’s inability to recruit, hire, and retain personnel. The recommendations that spun out of that assessment resulted in a 21 percent salary increase for entry-level telecommunicators, and significant increases for seasoned telecommunicators, supervisors, and directors. The impact on morale, recruitment, and retention has been startling — further, every full-time position now is filled.

“We’re very proud of everyone associated with these most innovative and impactful projects, which are moving the needle in terms of enhancing public-safety and public-sector outcomes,” said Morgan Sava, MCP’s vice president of marketing. “We’re especially thrilled about the 911 DataPath project, which we believe will have far-reaching implications. The ability to collect and then seamlessly share data will enhance situational awareness and decision-making exponentially.”

Now Representing Over 70% of Industry Adoption

NEW YORK, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lockr, by Viant, today announced a major expansion of its audience integration management platform—giving publishers a single point of access to the leading alternative identity solutions, so they can accelerate revenue without the complexity of managing multiple integrations. With the addition of Viant Household ID, Yahoo ConnectID, First-ID, The Trade Desk’s EUID, and Criteo HEM, Lockr now supports five of the top seven most absorbed IDs—representing over 70% of industry adoption, according to recent Sincera data.

Lockr by Viant is leading the charge to make the open internet addressable, collaborative, and competitive in the face of growing dominance from walled gardens. In a fragmented identity landscape, Lockr by Viant is unifying an industry, providing infrastructure that supports competitive buying platforms and identity providers to level the playing field against a common threat: the unchecked concentration of data and control within closed ecosystems.

“Advertisers need scalable identity solutions across the open internet—but the landscape remains too fragmented,” said Keith Petri, CEO and Founder of Lockr. “At the same time, publishers are searching for straightforward ways to connect their first-party data with ID providers, data partners, clean rooms, and measurement solutions. Lockr is making that possible—by integrating the alternative ID market so they don’t have to.”

This expanded support underscores Lockr by Viant’s commitment to interoperability, giving enterprises the flexibility to test, activate, and optimize across multiple ID solutions within a single, self-service platform. The move follows Lockr’s acquisition by Viant Technology in March and highlights the parent company’s broader ambition: to empower the open web, lift all boats, and create the infrastructure needed for addressability at scale.

“The future of advertising depends on giving industry players more control over their data strategies,” said Rob Beeler, Founder and CEO of Beeler Tech. “With so much uncertainty around which IDs will deliver the best results, a seamless solution for navigating and optimizing these strategies is essential. Lockr is making it easier for both buyers and sellers to transact more efficiently and effectively.”

In a climate plagued by signal loss, Lockr’s platform enables the collection, enrichment, and activation of first-party data at scale—dramatically improving match rates, streamlining media transactions, and delivering measurable performance outcomes. By reducing complexity and increasing optionality, Lockr helps publishers reclaim agency over their audience strategies.

“We’re excited to integrate with Lockr to help publishers enhance monetization through Criteo’s hashed email solution,” said Florent Dancy, Manager, Supply Solutions Architect at Criteo. “This integration ensures that publishers can seamlessly tap into stronger monetization in cookieless environments today and in the future.”

Lockr isn’t just building technology. It’s building the connective tissue that will define the next era of digital advertising—one where the open internet can thrive again.

About Lockr:
Lockr by Viant offers essential infrastructure for the collection, enrichment and activation of first-party data. Through its audience integration management platform, Lockr enables publishers, advertisers, and retailers to streamline data flows, optimize audience engagement and drive measurable results. By empowering businesses to efficiently manage and activate their data, Lockr plays a pivotal role in the evolution of digital advertising.
