Full line-up of events planned including Public Safety NICE User Group training forum and PSAPs’ Finest Awards presentation
HOBOKEN, N.J. – NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced that it will exhibit the newly launched NICE Inform Elite, the eighth generation of its industry-leading multimedia incident information management solution for emergency communications centers, in booth #923 at the 2017 APCO Conference. APCO 2017 will take place August 13-15 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.
NICE Inform Elite combines a future-ready multimedia recording platform with Incident Intelligence dashboards, CAD incident analytics and GIS mapping, to give 9-1-1 center managers the tools they need to make operational improvements, and smarter decisions.
NICE Inform Elite’s drill-through dashboards uniquely combine data from CAD, telephony, radio, and the NICE Inform Evaluator Quality Assurance (QA) module to provide up-to-the-minute performance metrics on call volumes, answer times, on-scene response times, QA scores and much more – viewable on desktops, wallboards and mobile tablets.
“NICE Inform Elite’s ability to stitch together data from disparate PSAP systems to provide incident intelligence is unique,” said Dick Bucci, principal analyst, Pelorus Associates, a market research firm. “By integrating data across these systems, NICE Inform Elite provides a single source of truth so managers can identify issues earlier, meet performance targets and improve emergency response.” NICE will also demonstrate how PSAPs can cut audio reproduction fulfillment time in half using CAD data to retrieve and reconstruct incident recordings, and similarly, how PSAPs can streamline and focus their Quality Assurance (QA) efforts on the calls that matter most, by using CAD data to automate QA call selection.
In addition to offering demonstrations of NICE Inform Elite, NICE has a full line-up of activities in store for APCO 2017:
