Every day, public safety agencies generate volumes of critical data, which is used in public safety applications such as computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management systems (RMS). For instance, your CAD system records vital emergency call information such as time, location, and unit response. Your RMS records accidents, arrest reports, citations, dispositions, known offenders, gang activity, and more. Each year, agencies spend millions of dollars to automate their operations, collecting vast stores of useful data. Despite this, research shows that a majority of operational decisions are still made on "gut feel," rather than basing them on facts collected during operations.
Why not harness the power of this data to inform the decision-making process? The Intergraph Business Intelligence for Public Safety solution lets you do just that, adding value to all your applications by letting you interactively explore the data in industry-standard terms - without having knowledge of the database structure. You can present quality reports from Intergraph applications, visualize and explore information, and perform real-time performance monitoring using intuitive dashboards. You can rapidly compare current situations with historical trends in an unbounded "what if" analysis environment. To protect your data, we enable you to distribute and access information through easy-to-use, secure portals. These functions are useful in exploring and exposing relationships and trends; improving query capabilities, reporting, and analysis; and helping you achieve operational excellence.
Product will launch in September 2008.
