Fresno Police Department Chooses ISYS Search Software to Supply Investigators, Staff With Advanced Intranet and Desktop Search Capabilities

Posted on: Monday, 11 July 2005, 09:00 CDT

ISYS Search Software (www.isys-search.com), a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced that the Fresno Police Department of Fresno, Calif., has selected its ISYS:web and ISYS:desktop applications to supply its staff of 1,200 with advanced search functionality.

The Department is rolling out ISYS:desktop to supply its team of investigators with a powerful crime analysis tool capable of mining information contained across PCs, file servers and its proprietary database systems. Using ISYS:web, this functionality will also be made available to 1,200 employees via the Department's intranet. In addition to selecting ISYS for its proven track record with federal and state agencies, the Department was looking to centrally manage the search function so that queries could be diverted away from its primary database system, thus leaving it intact for critical 911 response needs.

"ISYS provides our investigators and staff with the ability to find the needles in the 'virtual haystacks' of our ever-growing data repositories," said Jerry Dyer, Chief of Police, Fresno Police Department. "By providing this level of functionality, ISYS enables us to realize common threads of case similarities scattered over time and physical geographical distances. For example, our crime analysts can search across multiple file formats and data sources to locate all instances of 'red cars containing a subject with a blue hat.' What might have taken days, months or years to achieve, will now take just seconds with ISYS. This reduces the wait time to find similar cases and enables our personnel to focus on timely, vital case findings."

The ISYS suite of enterprise search software offers businesses and government organizations of all sizes a powerful solution that can be deployed in a matter of days. Designed to provide advanced search functionality across desktops, networks, websites and intranets, ISYS ensures employees spend drastically less time looking for information and more time working with it.
