Imagis and Microsoft to present joint demonstration of a new integrated justice system at 2002 APCO Conference
Solution leverages Windows.NET technology to facilitate Web-based information search and retrieval between every aspect of today`s justice system
VANCOUVER, Aug. 12 /CNW/ - Imagis Technologies Inc. ("Imagis") (OTCBB: IGSTF; TSX: NAB; Germany:IGY), announced today the launch of a new integrated justice system. This innovative solution will allow for the rapid deployment of an Integrated Justice Information System (IJIS) across any department, city, county, region, state, or country. The announcement coincides with Imagis` participation in the 2002 APCO Conference & Exposition in Nashville, Tennessee, and a joint demonstration of the solution by Microsoft and Imagis at this same show.
Imagis` integrated justice system leverages the inherent advantages of Microsoft`s(R) Windows.NET technology to facilitate Web-based information search and retrieval between every aspect of today`s justice system. As a result, Imagis is able to put critical information - including both text- and image-based data - into the hands of those who need it, when they need it. This includes horizontal data sharing (e.g. between different police, sheriff, and port authority detachments) and vertical data sharing (e.g. between different agencies: enforcement, courts, prosecution, corrections, etc.).

"While the idea of an Integrated Justice Information System is not new, the technologies behind Imagis` integrated justice system, including its utilization of XML Web Services, are very new and innovative," says Jeff Langford, .NET Technology Specialist, Justice & Public Safety Solutions, Microsoft Corporation. "This breakthrough technology allows national, state, and county law enforcement agencies the ability to deploy affordable and simplified information sharing solutions in a fraction of the time compared to what presently exists."

(IJIS): An Overview, can be accessed online at:

"Historically, most attempts at state or regional IJIS implementations have fallen short of expectations - if they have been completed at all," said Iain Drummond, President & CEO, Imagis Technologies Inc. "These attempts have proven to be extremely expensive, overly complex, and have required a significant amount of human resources. With Imagis` integrated justice system, the justice community can save time and money while improving the quality, consistency, accessibility, and reliability of their information."

Imagis` integrated justice system allows a region or office to:
- Access and share data quickly between different offices, branches,
cities, counties, and states
- Identify an offender or suspect across any region using both text-
based (e.g. a name, driver`s license number, or descriptive phrase)
and image-based search criteria (e.g. a photo, mug shot, or artist`s
composite drawing).
- Integrate with other vendor solutions easily, including other RMS,
CAD, and Jail Management systems
- Query any information repository from any location using a secure Web
interface
- Ensure information security by restricting access to published data to
only those granted permission
- Integrate with any ODBC-compliant database or legacy system
- Perform tactical searches for critical information at the scene of a
crime

technology are also available on the show floor by visiting Imagis at
Booth No. 860.

Hätte nix dagegen, wenn Microsoft den Laden kauft und die Aktionäre ausbezahlt. 500 Mio. US $ wären sicher angemessen. Das haben sie damals auch für WebTV bezahlt...

Hallo Mamsel,

500 US$ wären nicht schlecht, aber denen reichen 350 Mio, dann verkaufen sie sofort.

Good luck
