Intellicene - Experts & Thought Leaders

Intellicene, the pioneer in intelligent security management platforms announced that Cass County, Iowa, has deployed the Intellicene Symphia mobile dispatch and response communication platform to enhance emergency operations and drive more informed, rapid response across the region. EMS challenges Cass County, a rural area encompassing 565 square miles of primarily agricultural land, has faced recent challenges in providing timely emergency medical services (EMS) due to decreased volunteers and reduced manpower. The county’s wide geographic area has further complicated emergency response efforts. However, growing risks and a burgeoning population have facilitated the need for robust emergency operations and response. Iowa United First Aid (IUFA) programme Cass County implemented Symphia NowForce, a state-of-the-art dispatch and response platform The State of Iowa’s implementation of the Iowa United First Aid (IUFA) programme allowed Cass County to address the critical gaps in its emergency response infrastructure. Developed by Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg, IUFA aims to bridge crucial gaps in emergency services.  With the support of IUFA, Cass County implemented Symphia NowForce, a state-of-the-art dispatch and response platform, to address these challenges and modernise its emergency response services. Symphia NowForce NowForce offers unparalleled situational awareness by seamlessly integrating real-time data into a single view. Using live and historical event data, GIS maps, responder positions, reporter inputs, and other external source information, security teams can efficiently dispatch the closest, best-equipped, and most appropriate personnel and help stakeholders remain informed and connected regardless of location.  Quick response time “Whether it’s an emergency, accident, natural disaster, fire, or another safety event, an accurate and immediate response is critical,” said Erik Johnson, Cass County First Aid programme Coordinator. “Cass County is committed to ensuring its residents and businesses remain protected and have access to emergency services whenever needed." Public safety Cass County’s implementation of Symphia sets a precedent for improved operational effectiveness "Symphia NowForce has empowered us to reduce response times to approximately three minutes from the time of the 9-1-1 call. This expedited response time ensures greater safety, saves lives, and enhances collaboration between our first responders.” Cass County’s implementation of Symphia sets a precedent for improved operational effectiveness and public safety, showcasing the system’s critical role in bridging gaps in emergency services. Real-time situational awareness “Access to the right data at the right time is the difference between informed, rapid response and delayed operations. Symphia’s dispatch and response solution saves lives by ensuring quick responses to incidents and revolutionises how the country handles security events." "With technology like Symphia, emergency personnel can respond more intelligently, view real-time on-site situations, and share information instantly.”

If recent physical security events are a guide, the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) will be everywhere at the upcoming ISC West 2025 exhibition in Las Vegas. Cybersecurity solutions are another core focus at today's physical security events, and ISC West will likely follow the trend. Attendees will also be looking for advancements in access control systems, including biometric technologies and integrated security platforms, among other hot topics. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What will be the big topics of discussion at ISC West 2025?

New technology advancements significantly increase efficiency and productivity in any industry, including physical security. Enhanced innovation both creates new products and services and improves existing products, all for the benefit of security manufacturers, integrators, and end users. Companies that embrace new technology stay ahead of the curve and gain a significant competitive advantage. In addition, they can differentiate themselves in the marketplace. We asked this week's Expert Panel Roundtable: What are the most promising new technologies in the physical security industry?   

2025 is likely to see further advancements in artificial intelligence, with potential impacts on various aspects of society, including the security industry. The new year will also require security professionals to adapt to changing market conditions and develop contingency plans for unforeseen events. Industry changes will accelerate and challenge everyone in the security market to keep up. Making specific predictions for the new year can be a struggle, but we asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What will be the big news for security in the year ahead?
