Qognify (formerly NICE Security) continues to innovate<br />
the way PSIM technology is being utilized and increasing<br />
the impact it brings organizations. With Situator being<br />
used by some <strong>of</strong> the world’s largest, most high pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />
and security-conscious organizations, Qognify has<br />
gained the insight to extract value far beyond the initial<br />
promise PSIM <strong>of</strong>fered. Situator is helping organizations’<br />
save time, cost, resources, reputation, and in some<br />
cases lives. Why it’s the best PSIM solution Measurable<br />
Value According to one <strong>of</strong> the world’s largest oil and gas<br />
companies, using Situator and NiceVision, saved them<br />
$1.2 million in 2014 and expect even greater savings in<br />
<strong>2015</strong>. <strong>The</strong> company, which spent $8 million annually<br />
in guard costs prior to implementing these solutions,<br />
now uses Situator to remotely monitor sites. By selec-<br />
tively moving work that was previously conducted by<br />
on-site security guards to the Global Security Operations<br />
Center (GSOC), the company has been able to cut costs<br />
by 15 percent. Situator’s ability to effectively manage<br />
major incidents was demonstrated at LAX when a recent<br />
SkyWest flight made an emergency landing without its<br />
left landing gear. Situator and GIS were used to successfully<br />
manage the incident from start to finish, including<br />
guiding all first responders – police, fire, operations,<br />
and maintenance – and coordinating the smooth transfer<br />
<strong>of</strong> passengers from plane to safety. <strong>The</strong> Netherland’s<br />
national rail infrastructure operator, ProRail has been<br />
able reduce incident response time by over 60 percent<br />
with Situator, cutting the average intake time down from<br />
fourteen minutes to four. This is a real game changer for<br />
