i2 iBridge for SIS
Making sure your prison is run securely and safely is your prime concern, but while you may have all the information required to do this, it's easy to miss what is really happening inside your walls.
i2 iBridge for SIS creates a live connection to your SIS (Security Intelligence System) prison database, enabling you to explore information about prisoners, their visitors, MDT records and intelligence report, and analyze and chart these results in i2 Analyst's Notebook.
The powerful analytical tools within Analyst's Notebook allow you to turn large amounts of data into meaningful information, such as - finding and visualising prisoner associations, identifying visit patterns over time and exploring visitor's relationships with prisoners and tracking exactly who and what is going in and out of your prison and when.
i2 iBridge
Analysts frequently need to access the most current case data. Often the data is locked away in multiple databases with complex query interfaces that require the help of a database specialist. iBridge solves this challenge by creating a live link between Analyst’s Notebook and a variety of databases, such as Oracle®, Microsoft® Access and Microsoft® SQL Server. With iBridge, you can use Analyst’s Notebook to quickly retrieve vital information from your databases without relying on a database specialist or learning a complex query language.
iBridge extends the power of Analyst’s Notebook by enabling you to quickly access data from multiple databases without leaving the analytical environment. You can open several databases at once, retrieve relevant information from each and, from within Analyst’s Notebook analyze the combined information to find hidden links across disparate datasets.
iBridge is a standard product from i2 and is already in use within many UK and overseas Police Forces to connect the Analyst's Notebook with their force-wide information systems.
