NICE Receives 7-digit Order from UK’s Network Rail to Ensure Safety, Reliability and Efficiency  (email this article)

Ra’anana, Israel, December 4, 2006 - NICE Systems (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies) (NASDAQ: NICE), the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions™ to drive performance, today announced that it has received a 7-digit order for its advanced solutions for the reconstruction, analysis and distribution of voice communications from Network Rail, which owns and operates Britain’s rail infrastructure. Initial roll-out entails implementation at 270 signal boxes.

Network Rail is responsible for the operation, maintenance and development of Britain’s tracks, signaling system, rail bridges, tunnels, level crossings, viaducts and 17 key stations. As part of its National Voice Recorder Project, NICE will fulfill phase one of the project that will ensure all interactions between signal operators and train drivers are captured and stored in compliance with strict corporate policy.

Network Rail will also benefit from Scenario Replay™, NICE’s event reconstruction solution that facilitates faster compilation of evidence and information sharing in the event of a post-incident inquiry. By utilizing NICE’s powerful applications for scenario reconstruction, Network Rail will be able to make a thorough and effective review of events to confirm what happened, where and when it happened, and who was involved. This profoundly reduces the time and resources required to search, analyze, and distribute records, and improves the accuracy of event reconstruction to help transit officials better serve the public.

“We needed a complete network-based solution to help us meet our very strict requirements,” said David Lovell, Overall Project Manager of the Network Rail National Voice Recording Project. . “With NICE’s powerful applications for scenario reconstruction we are confident that we will be able to fully and accurately understand any situation where signal failure, accident or negligence may have occurred, and to ensure that we can correct or even prevent such occurrences in the future for better public service.”

“We are very pleased to have been selected to support the critical communications infrastructure of Britain’s Network Rail,” said Tamir Ginat, President of NICE EMEA. “This win is further evidence that NICE is the premier solution for transit systems all over the world, in their efforts to ensure the security of the public.”
