CSC Launches OmniLocation Suite of Visibility Service Offerings

Innovative Technologies Provide New Level of Visibility into Operations

FALLS CHURCH, Va., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today
the launch of its OmniLocation suite of enterprise visibility solutions. The
offering will provide public and private sector companies with a new level of
visibility to improve the safety, security and efficiency of their employees
and operations.
OmniLocation integrates location-based systems data, such as GPS and RFID,
with static and dynamic information about people, equipment, vehicles, assets
and infrastructure. Organizations can monitor the real-time location and
status of assets in motion or at rest through a single, interactive,
real-world Web interface using Google Earth products and Web 2.0 methods. In
addition, the interface can integrate multiple location and mobile asset
tracking systems, including inventory management, vehicle tracking, access
control, and status and maintenance schedules of infrastructure.
OmniLocation is available in three service offerings designed for specific
needs: Location Object Field Tracking (LOFT), Location Intelligence Safety
Application (LISA), and Chain of Custody Asset Tracking (CoCAT).
OmniLocation's LOFT solution is designed to help organizations visualize,
protect and account for mobile assets including lone workers (e.g., pipeline
inspectors) and vehicles in the field. It provides a contextual,
user-friendly view of objects tracked from three sources -- overall
perspective, current data reports and historical background. LOFT underwent a
test drive during the Amgen Tour of California professional cycling race,
giving cycling fans a "bird's-eye view" of the race by tracking riders online
during the race.
LISA enables organizations to visualize people, vehicles and assets that
are moving or dispersed throughout a facility. The solution integrates indoor
(RFID) and outdoor (GPS) location information data, object attributes,
communications, and context and association information to track, map and
model enterprise operations in real-time. LISA combines situation awareness
with location information to help improve safety and security, prevent
accidents and can be used to account for personnel in an emergency.
CoCAT provides companies with reliable accountability and a visible chain
of custody during the transportation of high value, hazardous or dangerous
materials to help eliminate fraud and comply with materials handling
legislation. The solution combines fleet, asset and identity management, and
biometrics with location tracking information (GPS and RFID) to verify and
monitor truck, trailer, driver-custodian, shipper and receiver authentication.
"Lack of visibility of people, assets, vehicles and infrastructure blinds
organizations to safety, security and efficiency issues, and can be measured
in unrealized profitability as well as lost revenue, productivity and theft,"
said Daniel Munyan, Logistics Solution Architect for CSC's North American
Public Sector business unit. "OmniLocation integrates real-time location
technology, sensor data, context information and legacy enterprise
applications to create useful communications and presentation tools for our
clients. In addition, CSC's commitment to ongoing research and development
ensures that OmniLocation implementations are scalable and support a high
degree of customization."
