"We selected Imagis based the strength of the company's reputation within the British Columbia police community, the operational value brought by the firm's integration of facial recognition with key police processes, and the affordability with which that solution will interoperate with our existing Versadex Records Management System called PRIME-BC," said Russell Sanderson, General Manager of PRIME Corp.
To create the solution -- which will be the first of its kind deployed to all police jurisdictions and officers within a single province or state -- Imagis will utilize a new breed of application known as a computer "smart client," which fuses the strengths of classic enterprise applications with the extensibility of Web services. The smart client operates on a platform combining two of the company's core technologies: the Briyante Integration Environment and the Facial Recognition Engine. The result is a standards-based solution in a Services Oriented Architecture that can easily interoperate with the various and diverse database technologies deployed by justice agencies around the world. Imagis data integration solutions are already providing information sharing benefits to several large police jurisdictions in the United States, including King County, Washington.
The advantages of Imagis solutions are being realized by more organizations, not only those involved in the justice sector, but those with a need to share information, interoperate disparate systems, and who need to migrate precious data and business intelligence to newer, more standards-based platforms. The company has an excellent reputation for successful deployments and satisfied customers, and is looking toward a bright future as it expands its offerings to other markets.
