Integrated solution suite promotes situational awareness,
streamlines operations and advances public safety incident prevention,
preparation, and response efforts
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(Business Wire)--
Emergency services organizations now can rapidly analyze and
convert vast amounts of law enforcement records and data into
actionable information for enhanced decision-making with Intergraph's
new Business Intelligence for Public Safety solution suite.
In response to the demand for improved data visibility and
reporting, Intergraph collaborated with Business Objects, an SAP
company, the world's leading provider of business performance
optimization solutions, to combine the application specific data from
Intergraph's emergency incident response, planning and reporting
solutions with Business Objects' proven Business Intelligence
platform, BusinessObjects(TM) XI.
The Intergraph Business Intelligence for Public Safety suite
enables a broad range of public safety users to rapidly access
real-time operational data created by computer aided dispatch (CAD),
records and other databases in order to gather further insights for
investigations and planning, manage performance, generate reports, and
make the information available in a secure environment to those who
need it. This new functionality enables emergency services
organization to more effectively prevent, prepare and respond to
critical incidents by providing the visual information to make
decisions, forecast likely occurrences and take immediate action to
mitigate, and hopefully eliminate, threats.
"Each and every day, public safety agencies rely on Intergraph's
emergency incident response, planning and reporting solutions to

revolutionary enhancements."
