Hitech Systems, Inc. is a privately-held company founded in 1981 by Hitech's President Henry P. Unger. Unger is well known in the public safety community, and was recently selected as Co-Chair of the APCO Project 36 Technical Working Group. The company's reputation has been built, and successfully maintained, by its keen attention to customer service and technical support. When you talk to Hitech customers, they repeatedly tell you that the company's personal attention to their needs and way of doing business is why they chose Hitech Systems as their partner in public safety.

Hitech Systems began as a computer consulting company servicing municipal government, higher education, and commercial accounts with the main purpose of helping them solve their computer applications problems. In 1986, Hitech entered the public safety arena by developing its CAD product, real-time computer aided dispatch software. In 1993, Mr. Unger marketed his product under SafetyNet CAD and from thereon, focused his business on providing integrated, highly customizable and cost-effective solutions for public safety agencies. Today, the company continues to help its clients solve their application needs and beyond that, Hitech is helping them save lives.
