Knowledge Vector, Inc. and Johnson Controls, Inc. to team up for ISC West Conference

Durham, North Carolina, April 2006 - Knowledge Vector, Inc. has teamed up with Johnson Controls, Inc. to present an integrated solution for both creating and upgrading Command and Control Center environments for the security industry.

Knowledge Vector’s product, the Knowledge Switch®, provides an intelligent system of collection, analysis, and dissemination of critical information to need-to-know personnel. The Knowledge Switch® solution addresses the pervasive knowledge gap by implementing real-time intelligence gathering and communication.

“The Knowledge Switch is a dynamic tool that gives security professionals the flexibility to integrate every security component into one intelligent system,” commented former chief security officer of Kraft Foods, Greg Halvacs.

Today, technology changes in nanoseconds. You can future proof your investments by optimizing your existing data sources. The Knowledge Switch® sensor plugin interface allows connectivity to virtually any data source using standard or proprietary formats and protocols. That’s not all. With the Knowledge Switch®, you are doing more than simply fusing your existing subsystems. The addition of temporal logic provides an entirely new set of values from that same set of subsystems, bringing increased value to your existing investment. In addition, implementation can be incremental. You can start small and then add functionality as your planning and budget allows.

When combined with Johnson Controls’ Metasys and the P2000 security management system, the combination of Johnson Controls and Knowledge Vector provides capabilities far beyond any currently deployed command and control environment by ensuring quick delivery on a need-to know basis. This product will be available for viewing in booth 22079 at the ISC West Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada from April 5th to 7th, 2006.
