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 07, 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).

Caja Madrid Launches Market Abuse Solution from NICE Actimize to Comply with Local and European Regulations

 

NICE Actimize`s full market abuse package enables identification and reporting of suspicious trading activities on a single technology platform

 

RA`ANNANA, NEW YORK & LONDON - July 22, 2010 - NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) company and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, today announced that Caja Madrid, one of the largest savings banks in Spain, has deployed its Market Abuse solution to comply with strict requirements imposed by the Spanish regulator Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) and to better align with the EU market abuse directive. Caja Madrid has implemented NICE Actimize`s Market Abuse solution to help it monitor and prevent market manipulation and insider dealing.

 

Caja Madrid is one of the first savings banks in Spain to adopt this type of solution. The Savings bank has assets of over 191 billion Euros under management. Working alongside Deloitte España, NICE Actimize deployed the first phase of its Market Abuse solution, including the bank`s high priority models, within three months, and later phased in the full market abuse package to provide Caja Madrid with a complete overview of trading activities with the ability to identify and report suspicious transactions.

 

"The Actimize Market Abuse solution is a highly flexible and fully scalable product," explained D. Manuel Fernández Navarro, Director del Área de Cumplimiento Normativo at Caja Madrid. "We set an aggressive deployment timeline and are proud that the first production phase of our compliance program was completed within three months.  We were satisfied with the solution and NICE Actimize`s deep domain expertise within the brokerage compliance space."

 

The Actimize Market Abuse solution helps large to mid-sized firms comply with regulatory requirements from all European regulators by monitoring and detecting suspicious transactions and automatically distributing alerts directly to relevant users within an intuitive case management workflow environment. It increases firms` insight into suspicious behaviour and improves risk management and compliance performance.

 

The Actimize Market Abuse solution uses several analytical methods to assign pnriority scores to alerts, thus improving the efficiency of regulators, trading managers and compliance staff.  NICE Actimize`s solutions are all built on a single technology platform, which provides lower total cost of ownership (TCO) as compared to siloed solutions and gives firms the flexibility to incrementally add new solutions over time.

 

"The EU Market Abuse Directive is very detailed, but it is up to each member country to interpret and to take the appropriate steps to adhere to the guidelines, and the Actimize Market Abuse solution has set the standard in Europe, being leveraged by firms and regulators alike," said Bruno Piers de Raveschoot, vice president, Head of Europe and Asia Pacific of NICE Actimize. "Caja Madrid is leading the way in Spain, by using our Market Abuse solution. Working across Europe, NICE Actimize helps its clients comply with the broader EU rules and local interpretations."

NICE to Present its Next Generation 9-1-1 Solutions at APCO 2010

 

NICE to highlight its VoIP recording solutions for Public Safety along with NICE Inform, incident management solution, as industry starts its transition to Next Generation 9-1-1

 

 

Ra`anana, Israel, July 30, 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, today announced that it will be highlighting its industry-leading IP telephony recording solutions for the Public Safety sector at the 2010 APCO Conference, as part of its Next Generation 9-1-1 suite of solutions. The NICE solutions will be exhibited in booth 731 at the 76th Annual APCO Conference and Expo in Houston, Texas, August 2-5, 2010.

 

With progress toward Next Generation 9-1-1, PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) are now preparing to migrate from the outdated PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) 9-1-1 system to an IP (Internet Protocol) based emergency services network. This migration will require PSAPs to update their 9-1-1 technology to support IP-based communications. As a global leader in VoIP recording technology, with more than a decade of accumulated domain expertise, NICE`s proven VoIP solutions are implemented at many leading contact centers, trading floors and security organizations worldwide, having been certified by the world`s leading VoIP telephony vendors. NICE offers resiliency options for mission critical environments, scalability, low cost of ownership, enhanced capabilities such as support for recording encrypted VoIP traffic, and a smooth migration path from traditional telephony to IP.

 

The NICE VoIP solution is part of NICE`s IP suite which also includes RoIP (Radio over IP) recording solutions, and NICE Inform, an open architecture multimedia incident information management solution that helps PSAPs capture, consolidate and manage all types of Next Gen 9-1-1 information, including audio, video, text and data. Through its strategic partnerships with industry-leading trunked radio systems providers, NICE Systems has been a driving force in RoIP recording.

 

Designed for openness and interoperability, NICE Inform is a software application that sits on top of NICE`s traditional telephony and radio recording solutions, as well as NICE`s VoIP and RoIP (Radio over IP) capture platforms, making it possible for PSAPs to migrate seamlessly from traditional telephony and radio recording technology to IP recording without a forklift upgrade. NICE also recently participated in NENA`s NG9-1-1 ICE 2 (Industry Collaboration Event) where its NICE Inform and VoIP recording solutions successfully passed interoperability testing.

 

"Voice over IP has made significant inroads in commercial enterprises in the last decade and NICE has been there every step of the way with our industry-leading technology, evidenced by a large number of IP telephony recording deployments in the most complex environments," said Chris Wooten, President, NICE Security Americas. "In Public Safety, recording is mission-critical so first and foremost, 9-1-1 centers need confidence and trust in their recording solution provider. We`re excited to leverage more than a decade of IP experience along with our proven IP recording track record to serve the needs of Next Generation 9-1-1 centers. Furthermore, NICE`s ability to offer proven IP recording technology for both VoIP and RoIP, along with NICE Inform enables PSAPs to seamlessly tie these incident recordings together, as they start to migrate to IP."
