-- NC4, a leader in revolutionizing safety and security and an
innovator in public safety and emergency management solutions, is
excited to announce that is has been named a Microsoft (MSFT) 2015
U.S. State & Local Government Solution Partner of the Year for
its NC4 Street Smart™ solution.
The Partner of the Year awards highlight and recognize
excellence and achievement among Microsoft partners who are
transforming organizations via the cloud and producing exceptional
results for U.S. government, healthcare and education
customers.
The U.S. Public Sector Partner of the Year awards were presented
during the 2015 Microsoft Public Sector Industry Solution
University (ISU) yearly event, where Microsoft's Public Sector
executive team was on site to congratulate NC4 for its
achievements. Winners and finalists were chosen from more
than 100 organizations across public sector segment areas of
healthcare, education and government.
"Our award winners showcase the best work taking place to bring
about transformation in government, healthcare and education," said
Vince Menzione, General Manager of
Microsoft's U.S. Public Sector Partner business. "The Partner of
the Year achievement recognizes NC4 for its exemplary commitment to
Microsoft and to the U.S. State & Local Government field."
NC4 Street Smart changes the way officers police the streets by
combining a tactical situational awareness platform that
synthesizes crime mapping, bulletins, blog space and case
management in a highly secure, easy-to-use interface. Over
the last year, NC4 Street Smart has been deployed in numerous law
enforcement agencies across the country. The Bloomington, IN Police Department has recorded
a 90% reduction in auto thefts after deployment of NC4 Street
Smart, and by their one-year of use anniversary credited NC4 Street
Smart for an overall 20% drop in property crimes.
In addition, NC4 and Microsoft are working to build a new
Windows 10 application that will allow users to access NC4 Street
Smart from devices such as Microsoft Surface Hub during roll calls
or crime fighting meetings. This same application can also be used
in their cruiser on devices including Surface or Windows 10 Mobile.
While not limited or restricted to Microsoft hardware, the new
application is designed to take advantage of the latest advances in
Windows 10 and the latest hardware including onboard GPS and camera
functions to give law enforcement easy-to-use, mission-critical
tools for fighting crime.
