PPM Demonstrates the Power of Incident Management Intelligence at ASIS 2014

PPM 2000 is showcasing a number of introductions and enhancements to their offerings at this year’s ASIS show.

Visitors to the company’s booth (#1537) can test-drive the new features and functionality available in Perspective V4.5, the company’s flagship incident management software, including more analytical options, an embedded report designer, and new ways to view data. Also being introduced this week is PPM’s Virtual Analyst, which offers an on-demand or prescheduled service for custom reports, metrics, and analysis. Beyond the booth exhibit, PPM’s Incident Command Center (located in Meeting Room # 7 near the west entrance) provides show attendees the opportunity to see first-hand how the process from alarm identification to incident report can take less than 45 seconds.

“Our presence at this year’s ASIS is all about demonstrating the power of incident management intelligence,” said Elaine O’Sullivan, president & Co-CEO, PPM. “The new offerings further support and characterize the value of incident management software i

connecting systems, people, and processes to drive intelligence-led situational awareness and complete security operations management.”

Perspective V4.5 includes an expanded Analysis Expert (AE) complete with a new structure, convenient query management features, more criteria options, and built-in pivot tables. A streamlined interface enables less experienced users to more easily find saved queries while data analysts can dive deeper into the powerful, more comprehensive layers of the tool. As an added convenience, queries can now be run in the background, allowing additional functions to be initiated.

Also new to Perspective V4.5 is an embedded and feature-rich Custom Report designer. Working from the AE results, this new feature allows reports to be created with any layout, look, or content—all without leaving the Perspective platform. A newly introduced Mapping component provides the capability to visualize activity, incident, and dispatch records on a map. With a click on a location pin, the associated record is brought forward.

PPM’s innovative new Virtual Analyst is an industry-first offering that provides Perspective clients with custom intelligence compiled and analyzed by board-certified CPPs and experts in security metrics. The offering is a value-add exclusive to Perspective SaaS users while fee-based options are available to other users.

A pioneer in the field of incident management, PPM’s Perspective is an end-to-end enterprise solution that addresses the unique needs of both security operations and investigations. By sharing event data and related information, both disciplines can collaborate to identify trends, take meaningful action, and reduce risk. PPM offers dedicated service and support for single site and global implementations.
