NICE to Showcase Enhanced NICE Inform and NG 9-1-1 Solutions at the APCO International 78th Annual Conference & Expo
RUTHERFORD, New Jersey, August 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that it will be showcasing for the first
time its new release of NICE Inform in its booth (#1013) at the APCO International 78th
Annual Conference & Expo. A Next Generation 9-1-1 solution, NICE Inform ensures that
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) will be ready to address the challenge of capturing
multiple types of emergency correspondence whether in the form of voice, text, telematics,
or video. The event will take place on August 19-22 at the Minneapolis Convention Center
in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Using NICE Inform to import third party video into incident timelines, and combining
this with other multimedia data, PSAPs can now reconstruct an incident in a more
comprehensive manner, seeing and hearing the event exactly as it happened. For example, in
a robbery investigation, it becomes possible to build a chronological audio-visual
incident timeline using multiple eyewitness 9-1-1 calls, various on-scene video
surveillance clips, cell phone video, radio recordings, CAD screens, and in-car video of
police officers pursuing a suspect. This capability can be used in the same manner by
security operations, for example at banks and airports, as well.
NICE will also highlight various solutions that address the growing needs of PSAPs to
consolidate more diverse forms of multimedia:
- NICE will present its call center optimization solutions, including
quality assurance, workforce management, and call analytics. With larger sites
handling new types of 9-1-1 calls, new skill sets are required. NICE's call center
optimization solutions help PSAPs plan and manage resources to ensure that the right
telecommunicator with the right expertise will be on the line when citizens need help.
- NG 9-1-1 systems, specifically those based on broadband, will give future
PSAPs access to additional information sources such as city-wide surveillance, License
Plate Recognition (LPR), weather systems, and Hazardous Material data. NICE will
demonstrate how its situation management solution, NICE Situator, can amalgamate this
information to give dispatchers broader situational awareness of incidents so that
they can coordinate more effective emergency responses. For example, a dispatcher
could access live video feed from a camera on a street where a crime is in progress.
As PSAPs adopt IP infrastructure and technology at a record pace, terms such as
“hosted solutions” and “cloud computing” are becoming part of the public safety lexicon.
On August 22 at 9:15 a.m., NICE will participate in an APCO panel discussion on “Hosted
Solutions for Public Safety.” The session will explore the pros and cons of hosted
solutions and provide information to help PSAPs determine whether hosting makes sense for
them. The panel will be moderated by Richard Juth, Statewide Communications Coordinator
for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, and will feature speakers from the San
Francisco Department of Emergency Management, Solacom, INdigital telecom, and NICE.
“Next Generation 9-1-1 is now starting to move from the drawing board to reality, and
as it does, PSAPs will have access to many new information sources through shared IP
networks,” said Guy Yaniv, General Manager, Surveillance Solutions Division at NICE.
“Through our open, cloud-based solutions, NICE is able to help PSAPs leverage shared
resources and technology to the fullest, and transform data from all of these sources into
insight for decisive action.”
NICE will also host an awards ceremony at its booth, recognizing the 2012 PSAPs’
Finest Director, Line Supervisor, Technician, and Telecommunicator of the year. This will
take place on August 20 at 11:30 a.m.
