Enforsys And Svivot Receive Grant For Joint Information Sharing And Intelligence Analysis Project

ROSELAND, NJ - Enforsys, Inc., a developer of public safety software for first responders, and Svivot, an Israeli-based provider of software solutions focused on data analysis for law enforcement agencies , announced that they have been awarded a joint U.S.-Israel Bi-national Industrial Research & Development (BIRD) grant for the development of an information sharing and intelligence analysis system.

The project, which will help public safety and homeland security agencies throughout the world prevent -and solve - crimes and terrorist acts by making quicker and more accurate decisions, is one of eleven new investments that received investments of approximately $10 million by the BIRD Foundation.

The grant was awarded to Enforsys and Svivot to meet the future demands of investigative tool sets for any intelligence system to assist law enforcement and criminal justice agencies in crime prevention, intelligence sharing and predictive analysis.

"Enforsys is excited to be working with Svivot to further enhance and improve information sharing and build information management infrastructures that give law enforcement officers and criminal justice agencies access to vital information," said George M. Lieberman, CEO of Enforsys. "We are honored that both the BIRD Foundation and the New Jersey-Israel Commission understand the impact of superior information sharing for improved homeland security initiatives and that Enforsys and Svivot are the right partners to deliver that functionality."

As part of a collaborative agreement, the New Jersey-Israel Commission serves as the BIRD Foundation's official representative for the state. This designation allows the Commission to work toward creating strategic commercial ties between qualifying New Jersey and Israeli companies through financial support on behalf of the BIRD Foundation.

"This project, approved by our Board of Governors, demonstrates BIRD's commitment to pursuing innovative homeland security synergistic solutions, based on joint U.S. - Israeli cooperation," said Dr. Eitan Yudilevich, BIRD's Executive Director. "We believe Enforsys and Svivot will jointly provide a unique information sharing/intelligence analysis system, tailored to the state and county level, both in capabilities and in affordability."

This joint project is the first complete solution encompassing all aspects of information sharing and intelligence analysis for state and county data fusion centers, as well as regional and municipal sharing and analysis of information related to law enforcement, criminal justice, corrections and other public safety domains. With Svivot's powerful SN-Sphere™ technology for exposure, analysis and tracking of criminal and terrorist networks joined with Enforsys' unique I-3 Exchange® product for sharing both incident-based and intelligence information, this solution is ahead of the curve in promoting public safety and homeland security initiatives.

The product will address the entire range of functionality necessary for information sharing and intelligence analysis solutions. This includes collection of all types of structured and unstructured data from disparate multi-jurisdictional agencies, data fusion, search and network analysis capabilities for patrolmen, detectives and high level analysts, reporting for use in courts and other venues, and distribution in standardized Department of Justice format (GJXDM - Global Justice XML Data Model) to other information systems.

"The strategic partnership formed between the New Jersey-Israel Commission and the BIRD Foundation continues to foster key scientific alliances between New Jersey and Israeli-based companies," said Commerce Secretary Virginia S. Bauer. "These alliances are addressing a myriad of developmental opportunities in areas from biotechnology to homeland security issues."
