NICE, the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Platinum Award Winner for Best 911 Recording & Analytics Solution, has earned a Frost & Sullivan prestigious Technology Leadership Award for Investigation and Evidence Management Solutions.
The award recognizes companies that demonstrate excellence in growth, innovation and leadership in their respective industries.
“Frost & Sullivan is honoring NICE with this Technology Leadership Award because of the company’s demonstrated leadership and commitment to driving innovation in digital evidence management for police departments,” said Danielle VanZandt, Security Industry Analyst, Aerospace, Defense & Security, Frost & Sullivan.
“The volume, variety and velocity of digital evidence is growing every day, and the current manual methods investigators use to collect, analyze and share it simply haven’t kept pace.”
“As the first and most comprehensive end-to-end cloud-based solution for managing digital evidence and investigations, NICE Investigate is uniquely equipped to bridge this gap.”
In announcing NICE’s selection for the Technology Leadership Award, Frost & Sullivan lauded NICE Investigate for its customer-centric innovations, proven ROI, superior integration and analytics capabilities, and workflow tools that bolster investigative efficiency and case solvability.
The report, in part, states: “NICE is a leader in the digital investigation and evidence management industry, with solutions that are years ahead of the competition.”
“Competitors will struggle to match Investigate’s capabilities and will likely fall short due to NICE’s superior analytical and integration capabilities which position NICE for continued growth and mindshare in the future.”
“NICE is thrilled to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan as a leader in the digital evidence management space,” said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE.
“At a time when many police department budgets and resources are stretched thin in North America and around the world, NICE Investigate helps drive productivity, cost savings and increased case solvability through process automation and advanced analytics.
Early research shows that using NICE Investigate, investigators can shave up to six hours off of each investigation, bringing justice to victims and resolution to cases much faster; and this is just the tip of the iceberg, because it only accounts for the time savings involved in collecting evidence.
Additionally, because evidence can be obtained, assembled and shared much more thoroughly and faster, there’s also a much greater likelihood of obtaining an early guilty plea.
This results in additional savings and community benefits down the road, by reducing the potential for additional bail processes, double-touching of the case, re-arrest, and so on.

Communications Manager for NICE Public Safety
Recognized for their Innovative Training and Education Programs, Outstanding Product Development Achievements and Exciting New Technologies to address the growing Homeland Security Threats our Nation is facing.
American Security Today was formed after careful reflection of 9/11 and its aftermath when the Department of Homeland Security was established and there was an immediate explosion of new products and solutions for what was perceived as an imminent second attack on primary targets in the United States.
As time moved forward from 9/11 itself and in recent years, the threats to our nation have evolved from a large scale 9/11 type attack to:
- Domestic and International Terrorist Attacks carried out by ‘lone wolves’ and coordinated individuals
- Cybersecurity breach attacks against our government agencies, financial institutions and critical infrastructure facilities
- Unprecedented urban violence
- Cultural shifts and societal media bias, which make it increasingly difficult to secure our nation in this constantly evolving threat environment.
These current circumstances have put forward another rapid expansion of new ideas, products and solutions to combat these ever changing challenges.
These changes have called for a new generation of security experts in the Homeland Security and Public Safety fields who need real time knowledge of our ever growing threats.
These experts include the Government at the Federal, State and Local levels as well as from Private Firms specializing in Physical Security, Port Security, Law Enforcement, First Responders, Military and Private Security responsible for implementing coordinated security measures to ensure our Nation’s Security and improve Public Safety.
Together, each of these entities work together seamlessly on the front lines of protecting our communities, to ‘Keep our Nation Secure, One City at a Time.’
AST focuses on Homeland Security and Public Safety Breaking News, the Newest Initiatives and Hottest Technologies in Physical & IT Security, essential to meeting today’s growing security challenges.
To highlight the tremendous accomplishments of agencies and firms receiving this prestigious award, be on the the lookout for American Security Today’s Annual December ‘ASTORS’ Champions Edition – ‘Year in Review.’
