LONDON – Endeca Technologies Inc., a search and business intelligence (BI) company, announced 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, a provider of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, the British Transport Police seeks to streamline and create efficiencies within its operations, surveillance and research systems, in order to enable greater visibility and improved response throughout the organization.

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 organization will have the ability to search across multiple operational systems of structured and unstructured data, through a single search interface. The result, according to Endeca, is greater discovery and visibility into emerging crime trends and potential threats enabling greater effectiveness of force deployment and pro-active management of resources.

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 organization. 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.
