From Motorola Ally to Noggin – A Smarter, Stronger Platform
Motorola Solutions has officially sunset the Ally Incident Management platform and introduced Noggin as its advanced replacement—offering organizations a more powerful, integrated solution for managing incidents, risks, and operational resilience.
What Is Noggin?
Noggin is a comprehensive, cloud-based platform for incident management, emergency response, and business continuity planning. Now part of the Motorola Solutions ecosystem, Noggin empowers organizations to handle complex threats and disruptions with greater speed, clarity, and coordination.
Whether you’re in security, facilities management, education, or critical infrastructure - Noggin provides a unified environment to plan, respond, and recover effectively.
Key Capabilities of Noggin

Log, assign, and resolve incidents in real time with mapped dashboards, automated workflows, and custom forms. - Operational Resilience Tools
Go beyond basic incident reporting—Noggin includes business continuity planning, compliance checklists, and proactive risk assessments. - Real-Time Situational Awareness
Monitor events as they unfold with visual dashboards, location-based data, and team alerts. - Seamless Collaboration
Coordinate teams across departments or locations using role-based access, escalation paths, and communication logs. - Customizable & Scalable

Strategic Fit within Motorola’s Ecosystem
- Noggin aligns with Motorola’s broader vision of a connected safety ecosystem—integrating with video, radio, analytics, and resilience technologies to enable a unified incident response environment.
