Proximex and Augusta Systems Sign Technology Partnership Agreement

Agreement Creates Seamless Integration Modules for Numerous Security Devices and Sensors to Improve Incident Response and Reduce Security Operations Costs

ASIS 2008 Conference, Atlanta, GA – Proximex, developers of award-winning solutions for the physical security information management (PSIM) market, announced today that it has signed a partnership agreement with Augusta Systems, Inc., a provider of intelligent enterprise network technologies. Under the terms of this agreement, Augusta Systems and Proximex will offer Proximex Surveillint™ partners and customers advanced integration options for an extensive array of sensors, devices and systems that will allow for better management of information and enforcement of security policies in a centralized security operations center. These integrations will significantly improve the value of security operations centers for incident tracking and response as well as eliminate the need to develop custom interfaces to individual devices.

"Proximex Surveillint provides the perfect solution to take advantage of our easy-to-use and extensible EdgeFrontier™ integration software," said Patrick R. Esposito II, chief operating officer of Augusta Systems, Inc. "Under the status quo, enterprises may easily spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars to create and test individual adapters in order to integrate and correlate information from disparate security and safety systems. By leveraging our integration system with the intelligent business logic provided in the Proximex Surveillint platform, organizations can have centrally-managed, converged security solutions up and running in a fraction of the time for far less money."

Proximex Surveillint is a premier physical security solution for policy-based incident discovery, connection and resolution. Powered by a sophisticated business logic engine, Surveillint takes advantage of existing security systems to mitigate risk across an enterprise environment by providing actionable intelligence, speeding security incident resolution and reducing security operations costs.

"Security teams are constantly under pressure to reduce costs, yet provide exceptional security for the company, its people and assets," said Jack Smith, chief executive officer of Proximex. "Our partnership with Augusta Systems helps security teams to achieve exactly what they need -- comprehensive enterprise-wide security while leveraging existing systems and devices and reducing overall security costs. Together, we can integrate traditional security systems with other related systems, such as building management, IT and communications, to deliver more effective security policy and improved business value. This agreement, which showcases the power of our open SDK, takes Proximex Surveillint far beyond what our competitors can offer for device integration and implementation."

Operators prefer Surveillint for its intuitive and comprehensive interface, supervisors like its incident reporting and auditing, and management approves of its ability to provide a complete overview of the organization’s entire security environment. In just one solution, Proximex allows different security professionals, regardless of their level within the organizations, to communicate with one another as well as view the information required for their duties.
