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.”
