Business intelligence (BI) solutions continue to flow further into the security industry, buoyed by ever-rising end user interest, deepening partnerships, and imaginative solutions put together by integrators such as CoastalCOMS.
Where most people see a beach, Tim Chandler, with the help of video surveillance equipment, analytics and the cloud, sees a wealth of information — including data that can help coastal towns, environmental and government agencies, and beach goers make more informed decisions. Chandler is the general manager in the United States and head of global marketing and sales for CoastalCOMS, Laguna Niguel, Calif., an innovative integrator and solutions provider that is using analytics to safeguard shorelines, support research, and offer business intelligence (BI) to coastal communities.
“Today’s technology has advanced to a point where we are able to provide our customers with unprecedented abilities to gather real-time information and images to better understand conditions, coordinate responses, and make decisions in changing water environments around the world,” Chandler says.
