NICE Systems and Esri International, Leading GIS Company, Sign Technology Partnership to Enhance NICE's Real-Time Situation Management Solution
Esri's GIS will be Integrated in NICE Situator to Provide Enhanced Real-Time Situational Awareness and Response to Security Operations Worldwide - Seaports, Airports, Public Transport, Railways, City Centers, Military and Enterprises
RA'ANANA, Israel, July 7, 2010-- NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of
intent-based solutions that enable enterprises and security organizations to
extract Insight from Interactions, transactions and surveillance to drive
business performance, reduce risk and ensure safety, and Esri, a leading
provider of geographical information system (GIS) software, today announced
that the companies have entered into an OEM agreement to enhance NICE
Situator with Esri's GIS capabilities, for enhanced situation management.
Under the OEM agreement, the Esri ArcGIS software engine will be embedded and
integrated into the NICE Situator solution. The new integrated solution will
serve the security operations needs of seaports, airports, public transport,
railways, city centers, military organizations, as well as enterprises.
The integrated solution combines NICE Situator's data fusion, analysis
and automated response capabilities, with Esri's spatial analysis, data
management, and GIS mapping, to improve situational awareness and real-time
situation management. NICE Situator correlates data from diverse security,
safety and operational systems, alerting operators in real-time to incidents
that require attention. All of the relevant information is then overlaid on
an intuitive GIS interface, so control center operators can visualize
situations in a geographic context, using Situator's pre-programmed response
plans to help guide and automate their response. For example, operators
alerted to a situation can immediately see the locations of various sensors
in alarm mode, and view nearby video cameras, mobile responders, vehicles,
and other location-aware devices, all dynamically updated in real-time.
Automated decision support checklists in NICE Situator also help operators
manage resources for an effective situation response.
"Computerized mapping technology is a pre-requisite for organizations
around the world that are focused on security," said Terry Bills, Esri
Transportation Industry Manager. "Now, by adding GIS capabilities from Esri
to the real-time situation planning, response and analysis capabilities of
NICE Situator, command and control centers can be automatically alerted to a
situation, be able to better visualize the situation as it's happening, and
respond more effectively with a pre-defined plan."
"We are happy to be working with Esri on enhancing NICE's leading-edge
capabilities for improving situational awareness and incident management,"
said Israel Livnat, President, NICE Security. "Command and control centers
are increasingly looking for a solution that combines computerized mapping
capabilities with real-time situation management. We're looking forward to
working with Esri on a solution that offers these enhanced situation
management capabilities, to command and control centers."
About NICE Situator
NICE Situator is a situation management software platform that enables
automatic situation planning, response and analysis in real time, as well as
thorough post incident reviews and investigations. NICE Situator integrates
to a wide array of sensors and security systems, analyzing and correlating
information to help organizations connect the dots and improve situational
awareness, incident response and decision-making. NICE Situator's generic
gateways and open architecture make it possible to integrate to virtually any
existing or future security device, system, or data source. Organizations
that deploy NICE Situator are not constrained to specific types or brands of
security solutions but rather can chose the solutions that best satisfy their
security needs. With NICE Situator, organizations can fuse many different
types of security devices and systems into a unified platform, including:
access control, video systems, perimeter intrusion sensors, location tracking
(RFID, GPS), panic buttons, environmental sensors, communication devices, and
much more. Through this integration, NICE Situator is able to present a
Common Operating Picture (COP), with real-time alerts and information from
all integrated systems displayed on an intuitive multi-Iayered Geographical
Information System (GIS)-based interface, enabling security operators to
continuously monitor and interact with systems, people and assets for a
higher level of situational awareness. NICE Situator also provides a
framework for automating complex response workflows and standard operating
procedures (SOPs).
