LONDON AND CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – October 4, 2010 – Endeca Technologies, Inc., a search and business intelligence (BI) company, announced today that British Transport Police, the national police service for Britain’s railways, has selected Endeca for Force Intelligence to enhance its transit intelligence and reporting. In conjunction with Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, The British Transport Police seeks to streamline and create efficiencies within their operations, surveillance and research systems, in order to enable greater visibility and improved response throughout the organisation.

Servicing over six million passengers, on over ten thousand miles of railway throughout the country every day, British Transport Police needed to create efficiencies within daily intelligence and operations, while reducing overall force expenditures. With the search and Guided Navigation® functionality of Endeca for Force Intelligence, the organisation will have the ability to search across multiple operational systems of structured and unstructured data, through a single search interface. The result is greater discovery and visibility into emerging crime trends and potential threats enabling greater effectiveness of force deployment and pro-active management of resources.

“Our aim is to improve our existing intelligence research capability and as a result, deliver a better service to the railway community. Early signs are promising,” said Assistant Chief Constable Alan Pacey of British Transport Police. “We look forward to realising the full potential of this application as we move forward.”

Built on Endeca Latitude, Endeca for Force Intelligence is built on an architecture that simplifies the integration of data from numerous source systems into a single unified index, enabling the analysis of information across the organisation. Endeca’s Government Solutions have been implemented in nearly every major intelligence and law enforcement agency, and touch every part of the intelligence cycle, from planning through dissemination.

“British Transport Police is an excellent example of how an innovative Government initiative is leveraging search BI applications to create a more functional, higher-quality experience for its users,” said Matt Kodama, vice president, product management at Endeca. “The contextual navigation that Endeca solutions provide offers British Transport Police’s analysts visibility into critical information that was unattainable until now, enabling greater discovery for better intelligence decision-making.”
