BLUE BELL, Pa., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced the availability of
the Unisys Digital Investigator™, a new total information
management system to allow law enforcement agencies to seamlessly
share critical investigative intelligence across applications and
agency boundaries.
The system, an upgraded version of a solution previously known
as the Unisys Law Enforcement Application Framework, includes a
public portal which enables citizens to provide information to law
enforcement and public safety agencies and track requests from
smartphones and other devices. It also integrates with social media
analytics to assist in compiling digital evidence.
The Unisys "Safe Cities" initiative provides tools and
capabilities that can help prevent and combat crime. As a key tool
in the Safe Cities portfolio, Digital Investigator goes beyond the
capabilities of traditional records management systems to allow
organizations to take advantage of information across technological
and geographic boundaries. It provides the tools necessary to
capture and analyze the increasingly varied and complex data law
enforcement professionals need to catch criminals and stop criminal
gangs and terrorists.
"The Unisys Safe Cities initiative was created to give justice
and public safety organizations the solutions they need to better
use data from sources like mobile devices and the Internet of
Things to create a safe environment for the public," said
Mark Forman, global head of public
sector at Unisys. "Digital Investigator represents a critical
component of this initiative. It gives police departments a tool
set that improves productivity through the ability to handle
numerous forms of data across multiple lines of inquiry while
linking different pieces of related information."
When it comes to criminal investigations and intelligence
handling, the use of data mining to identify suspects early has
emerged as a critical challenge. With so much information available
from different sources, law enforcement agencies are grappling with
how best to collect, collate and analyze all pieces of evidence,
including their movements through the justice system as well as
their storage and destruction.
Digital Investigator addresses this challenge by providing the
capabilities needed to efficiently and successfully manage all
police incident and investigative information, including:
- A device-independent public portal for information capture and
delivery, enabling citizens to connect to law enforcement agencies
to report missing persons, request appointments and receive updates
to their requests;
- Social media analytics integration to stay on top of
internet-derived intelligence from a vast array of sources;
- A single, browser-based application for total information
management, tasking, collaboration and analytics;
- An easy-to-use and cost-effective tool for creating reports and
other documents;
- Advanced search engine capabilities for rapid and relevant
results;
- Certified ability to securely handle critical national security
data; and
- On-premise and cloud-based deployment options.
Digital Investigator is part of Unisys' portfolio of Safe Cities
solutions that also include LineSight™ for advanced targeting
analytics related to border security; Unisys Stealth®
for advanced security through micro-segmentation as well as
identity management; the Unisys Law Enforcement Message Switch for
enabling users to easily access disparate information from various
federal and state criminal justice information systems; and the
Secure Image Management Solution for capturing and aggregating
stills imagery, video, audio, multimedia and disk images.
