Original Press Release:
Orsus® Launches Situator(TM) v4 - All New Control Room Situation Management Software
Comprehensive Suite of Tools for Security and Safety Awareness Systems Convergence and Adaptive Response Planning and Automation
NEW YORK, October 10/ - Orsus, a pioneer in situation management software, today
announced the launch of Situator version 4, a full-featured release of their situation management software suite, redesigned for a broad range of security, safety and enterprise environments. Since the release of version 3, Orsus worked closely with customers, partners and consultants around the world. Based on field-proven experience, Orsus has developed a solution that significantly improves the speed, effectiveness and efficiency of response to security and safety events and exceptions.
"Physical security directors have never seen a comprehensive solution the likes of Situator," according to security industry analyst Steve Hunt, president of 4A International. "It puts usable situation awareness and up-to-date expert knowledge in the hands of everyone in the system so that they can all do what needs to get done quickly and effectively."
Situator is a security and safety situation management software suite for integrated control rooms. It creates an environment where all current and future technologies, people and actionable procedures are fused into a unified, control and management platform. It leverages existing security investments and empowers security personnel to focus on exception management.
With advanced yet easy-to-use planning tools, Situator helps to transform routine and emergency plans into actionable, adaptive tasks and procedures and integrate them with virtually any security and safety devices, management systems, dynamic data sources and communication systems. This convergence can dramatically reduce control room complexity. In addition to reducing complexity through convergence of awareness systems, Situator makes it possible to integrate connected technologies into automated incident response procedures. Built-in incident reporting, event simulation and debriefing tools help to ensure continuously improved preparedness.
This approach requires a strong understanding of the physical security and safety market but more importantly an understanding of the software and IT world that hardware vendors generally do not have.
In addition to a major user interface upgrade that makes Situator v4 easy to use, even for beginners, this new version adds features such as decision-making support mechanisms, interactive mobile/PDA capabilities, advanced dynamic GIS mapping, innovative simulation, training and reporting tools and support for many more industry-standard security and safety systems including integration with new access control, DVR/VMD, fire detection systems and alarm panels.
"I am intrigued by the reaction of security and safety directors when we show them version 4 for the first time. Often, I hear them say, 'This is exactly what I'm looking for but I didn't know that it existed'," said Rafi Bhonker, vice president, marketing and sales at Orsus.
"This new version of Situator takes into account the fact that every organization uses a unique set of technologies and policies to manage their security and safety operation. Situator's open architecture adapts to those factors and delivers exactly what each customer needs throughout the entire situation management lifecycle, and serves as a platform for growth."
Situator reduces potentially costly human error, makes it easy to establish and maintain compliance with industry and government regulations and dramatically improves the speed and effectiveness of incident response and recovery while actually reducing operating costs.
Recently debuted at ASIS in San Diego, Situator is now available and fully supported in the US through a network of security and safety integrators. For more information, or to request a Situator demo, please visit www.orsus.com or contact Orsus at info@orsus.com .
