In today’s fast-paced, high-security environments, relying on outdated software isn’t just inconvenient, it’s risky.  

In today’s mission-critical environments, security infrastructure must be powerful, scalable, and intelligent. Whether monitoring a large prison estate, a utility network, or a multi-site healthcare trust, security teams need to manage vast quantities of data in real-time, without compromise. 

In complex and high-stakes environments, such as utilities, custodial services, healthcare, and national infrastructure, system downtime is not just an inconvenience; it’s a potential threat to safety, compliance, and operational continuity. That’s why support isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a business-critical function

Keeping your software in top shape isn’t just tech jargon, it’s crucial for performance, reliability, and security. Yet many organisations confuse updates with upgrades. Here’s a simple breakdown of what each means, and why both matter to your operation. 

Since Cortech was established in 1992, we’ve continually evolved our flagship software solution, Datalog, to meet the ever-changing demands of safety, security, and building management.

Following the official announcement of Datalog QL in September 2024, Cortech Developments has successfully introduced its next-generation software platform to the industry through a series of well-attended and engaging launch events across the UK. 

Ensuring safety, security, and operational efficiency across large, multi-site campuses is a growing challenge for educational institutions. Cortech’s Datalog provides an integrated solution that unifies security, fire safety, and building management systems, helping universities create smarter, safer, and more connected campuses.

Cortech Developments unveils Datalog QL, a next-generation integrated software management solution designed for high security, safety, and building technologies.

When it comes to risk management, it is prudent to have preventative measures in place. In this way, wider business strategies can avoid emergency situations with greater consistency. However, when incidents do occur, what matters most is how you respond.

Important Windows 11 Update

Having support in place provides our users with the resources needed to solve problems before they start and access to free of charge software updates for minor releases, enhancements, and bug fixes.

Did you know that since Cortech was established in 1992 we have released and developed 5 major versions of our flagship software, Datalog.

In today’s rapidly evolving world of technology, it can be a challenge to stay up to date with the most current, efficient, and secure operating systems and software.

If you haven’t already invested in software integration solutions, then you need to ASAP! Cortech can help you save costs and keep up with your competitors.

We understand that you may have some concerns regarding the recent announcements in the news regarding the Meltdown & Spectre.

As part of our commitment to delivering quality and sustainable solutions to our customer base, Cortech Developments core software product Datalog 5 will be compatible with Windows 10 from 1 June 2017.

The importance of System Testing. The installation of safety, high security, building monitoring and fire detection systems is often carried out with a silo’d approach to design, choice of manufacturer, system maintenance and testing.

Following the launch of Cortech’s latest new product, Datalog MV, we are hosting a number of UK and International live product demonstrations during the months of September and October. 

Cortech Developments are proud that we have been able to limit the number of major software revisions during our 22 years in business.  Datalog 3 was available for almost 10 years and Datalog 4 [the predecessor to Datalog 5] has been supported since 2004.

Last year Cortech Developments released the latest major software version of their Building, Fire and Security Management Software – Datalog 5 for Windows 7. 

Cortech Developments have released a new 360⁰ Asset Mapping system as an added value solution, which is linked dynamically to our Datalog graphics package for Building, Fire and Security Management.

Cortech Developments latest major software version, Datalog 5 was released on 1 July 2011.  

Cortech Developments has enhanced the functionality of Datalog 4 for integration with CCTV.
