Multi-Agency, Multi-Jurisdictional Data-Sharing to Increase Situational
Awareness
New framework selected as one of the APCO Conference & Expo's Hot Products for
2009

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Intergraph®, the world leader in
public safety and security incident response management solutions, advances
multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional data sharing with the introduction of
its Interoperability Framework, an interoperability platform which supports
industry standard information exchanges, such as the National Information
Exchange Model (NIEM).

The Interoperability Framework, based on Microsoft's integration and
connectivity server platform, Microsoft BizTalk® Server, is featured in
Intergraph's latest-generation computer-aided dispatch (CAD) offering,
Intergraph I/CAD version 9.0. The Interoperability Framework enables public
safety agencies to transfer CAD information using industry-standard formats,
allowing for the easy multi-point exchange of information across software
applications. At the recent International APCO Conference & Exposition in Las
Vegas, Nevada, Intergraph demonstrated the Interoperability Framework
supporting NIEM information exchange package documentation (IEPDs) for Amber
Alerts, E9-1-1 CAD to CAD, and event notifications to an external portal.

Intergraph's Interoperability Framework was selected as one of the top 15
leading new products of the year introduced at the Association of Public
Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International annual conference in Las
Vegas in August. The 2009 Hot Products were chosen by representatives from
APCO's Editorial Advisory Committee and staff after reviewing more than 40
nominations. This is the second year that an Intergraph public safety solution
has been selected for this prestigious award. Last year, the selection
committee recognized Intergraph's Business Intelligence solution for
generating reports, performing ad hoc data analysis, and turning information
into actionable intelligence.

"In any emergency situation, the presence or absence of critical information
can mean the difference between life and death," said Chris Colyer, director,
alliances & channel strategy, Worldwide Enterprise & Partner Group, Microsoft.
"Today's Interoperability Framework announcement is an excellent example of
how Microsoft's long-standing alliance with Intergraph enables the resilient,
high-velocity communications networks needed to improve the response to
public safety and security emergencies. Intergraph's Interoperability
Framework, based on Microsoft BizTalk®, promotes multi-agency and
multi-jurisdictional data-sharing by providing a platform for interfacing with
other systems to improve incident planning, response, and resolution."

"To meet the ever-increasing demands of the citizens they serve, complete
interoperability is key for public safety agencies," said John K. Graham,
president, Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure. "Intergraph's
multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency Interoperability Framework allows public
safety agencies to move information across multiple applications with ease,
reducing both data errors as well as overall emergency response times."

Intergraph is the leading global provider of incident management software and
reporting solutions. One in 12 people in the world is protected by Intergraph
