New World Systems and Pictometry form a Development Partnership

Integrated technologies will provide fast access to oblique aerial imagery during an emergency

Troy, Mich. (February 25, 2008) — New World Systems, a leading provider of enterprise-wide software solutions for public safety, and Pictometry International Corp., the worldwide leader in digital, aerial oblique and geo-referenced imagery and measuring software systems, have announced a development partnership. The companies have seamlessly integrated leading technologies to provide customers with Pictometry’s aerial images and measuring technology directly within New World Systems’ Aegis® Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) public safety software system.

Hundreds of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) nationwide trust New World Systems’ dispatching software to effectively manage emergency response and dispatch activities for law enforcement, fire and EMS and emergency response professionals nationwide have made Pictometry the leading provider of visual intelligence with Pictometry Intelligent Images™.

“We are extremely pleased to have New World Systems add Pictometry imagery to their product offerings,” said Dante Pennacchia, Pictometry’s Chief Marketing Officer. “The added value to customers is sure to save time and lives.”

Both solutions provide vital information during 9-1-1 situations when time is a critical factor. By embedding Pictometry images directly into New World’s CAD, mission-critical detailed location information is quickly and easily available, saving dispatchers valuable time during an emergency. Mutual customer, Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office, N.Y., is already noticing significant time savings with the new integrated solution.

“It really is embedded right into New World’s CAD application,” said Captain Joseph Grube, of the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office. “This integration is allowing dispatchers to use Pictometry images on a daily basis without making them access a different screen and software package. At some point they reach information overload and stop using the tools they need. Now these images are available without requiring any extra effort. It’s absolutely saving time by giving them Pictometry imagery and basic toolset within New World’s product.”

The integrated solution will quickly provide dispatchers with a more accurate lay of the land and size and dimensions of a building surrounding an incident. Utilizing the embedded tools within New World’s CAD, dispatchers and law officers will be able to identify staging and surveillance areas, view multiple angles of buildings for entry points, and measure height, length and width of buildings to ensure a safe and effective response.

Greg Wandrei, Vice President for Aegis Sales at New World Systems said, “In response to growing industry needs and input from hundreds of customers, New World Systems made a significant investment to incorporate the latest GIS capabilities directly into our software. This partnership with Pictometry provides our dispatch customers critical information to improve response times and increase safety for first responders.”
