Buffalo, NY – January 2025 – Buffalo-based technology leader 3AM Innovations has once again secured its place on the prestigious GovTech 100 list. Marking its sixth consecutive year being recognized among the top companies transforming state and local government technology. This honor highlights 3AM’s continued commitment to improving public safety and supporting first responders through advanced technology.
Founded by Patrick O’Connor and Ryan Litt, 3AM Innovations is the force behind FLORIAN. The industry-leading decision support platform which streamlines critical operations for fire departments and emergency responders during an incident. What began in 2017 as a mission to empower Incident Commanders with real-time team tracking has grown into a multifunctional platform that integrates situational awareness tools, resource management, and advanced location capabilities.
FLORIAN is actively used by fire departments and emergency services across the United States, including the Philadelphia Fire Department in Pennsylvania, Orchard Park Fire District in New York, Fairbanks Fire Department in Alaska, Tombstone Fire Department in Arizona, and Arlington Fire Department in Virginia. Its reach also extends to large-scale event management, where safety and coordination are paramount. Including regular use at the NFL stadium homes of the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles, the Superbowl, and the Boston Marathon.
President and co-founder Patrick O’Connor, a former firefighter himself, shared the driving force behind FLORIAN, “In the heat of an emergency, it’s too easy for teams to lose track of each other which can cost lives. We built FLORIAN to give field operations the tools they need to keep their teams safe and make faster, data-inspired decisions in critical moments.”
FLORIAN brings mission-critical information into a single, simple to use platform. Incident Commanders gain access to tools like interactive 3D mapping, real-time personnel tracking, weather patterns, drone feeds, and integrated communication channels. One of FLORIAN’s standout safety features is its AI-enabled automated Mayday alert, instantly notifying command with the exact location of any responder in distress. Operating across smartphones, tablets, GPS/satellite trackers, and radios, FLORIAN is widely regarded as a game-changer in public safety technology. Its versatility extends beyond fire services, with applications in large-scale events and other critical operations.
COO and co-founder Ryan Litt emphasized the broader mission, “We witness the disasters increasing around us. The resources we have are already stretched thin. Readiness is non-negotiable. Our goal is to complement, not complicate. To use our expertise to deliver the technology our first responders deserve to have. Distilling the complexity of a fireground or emergency incident into immediately available clear, actionable information.”
3AM Innovations continues to push the boundaries of incident command technology. Through strategic partnerships and continuous innovation, FLORIAN is setting the standard for how public safety agencies prepare for and respond to emergencies.
