You’ve spent and continue to spend a fortune on a wide variety of infrastructure and systems - data, communications, HR, finance, business process, cyber and physical security. On top of that the number of sensors that can provide information critical to your enterprise and global partners is growing exponentially each year. Further complicating matters is that the number of communication methods and points of access in use by the average individual is now seven. Your processes are evolving rapidly in an attempt to meet many new demands and to continually improve efficiency. Competitive and constituent pressures are mounting.
All too often, investments across these areas have not allowed you to fully achieve your goals or enabled you to stay ahead of the competition. You sense something is missing. There are big gaps, and something more must be attainable...but now what?
WHAT WE DOFirst and unique to our philosophy and model, Sphere>Points actually leverages the existing infrastructures, systems, sensors, communication devices and software that you have already invested in and are familiar with.
Then we focus on what really matters to you in protecting and achieving your bottom line goals and results. Next, through our Sphere>Points platform, we make what you already have in place work smarter and more effectively. In simple terms, and for a fraction of what you’ve already invested, Sphere>Points enables you to achieve game changing results across your enterprise in areas that truly matter.
We take your organization's “ecosystem of disparate systems” and make them work as one "sphere of interoperable operations" with unprecedented levels of awareness, responsiveness, command and control to the core of what matters most to you, the bottom line.
The essence of what the Sphere>Points platform does:
In today’s security and critical infrastructure environments, the massive amount of data being accumulated, sent and received is increasing exponentially each year. But for this data to be useful, it must be managed correctly. Data must be converted to actionable information, and that information must reach the right people with assurance and speed.
The first level of the Sphere>Points platform is Sense>Points which ingests islands of disjointed information from any type of sensor that you currently have or may be planning to install. Such deployments may include a wide variety sensors, networks, RFID systems, GPS devices, video cameras, border control systems, access control systems, SCADA systems, metering and measurement devices, inventory databases, smart meters, line monitoring devices, transformer monitoring devices, substation security devices or substation automation devices.
Sphere>Points performs the analysis and intelligently turns data into “actionable” information, which is passed into the next level of the platform. The Sphere>Points solution platform supports integration and normalization of data, events and control functions from diverse devices, systems, and networks, regardless of manufacturer or communications protocol. In addition Sphere>Points enables configuration and automation of event or policy-based actions all the way to delivery of actionable sensor generated information to the right person, groups or teams responsible to handle the event and can reach them on virtually any device globally.
The next level of the platform is Com>Points which provides a quantum leap in your ability to respond to time sensitive and mission critical information. Com>Points ingests the analysis of sensor inputs or direct human input; “the actionable information components of your enterprise” and then in real-time intelligently connects that information to specific and detailed policies and procedures… the who/what/how of responding to this “event”.
Next, again in real-time, Com>Points communicates that event information to the authorized person or groups via any and all communications methods. Com>Points gives you a carrier-class, secure global communication network which provides true interoperability utilizing every communication device already in use across your enterprise, from land-line, mobile, satellite, to land and mobile radio, sms, text, e-mail, voip, roip , sip and virtually any communication protocol and with global reach.
The user level of the platform is called Sphere>Port which performs a number of functions and serves as the portal and user interface for accessing information and administrating areas and rights within the entire system. It analyzes the inputs from Sense>Points and displays and enables new levels of enterprise awareness, insight, intelligence and collaboration all the way to a successful Resolution>Point.
