Groove in Action

Groove provides this, and allow us to integrate with open source databases and content management systems.” Dr. Eric Rasmussen, Navy physician and project coordinator, Strong Angel Civil-military aid team improves response and information flow across agency/organization boundaries during pandemic demonstration Improved Incident Management
