NEC Sphere Communications, a subsidiary of NEC Corporation is collaborating with Science Applications International Corporation [NYSE: SAI] to deliver robust interactive unified communications capabilities as part of their service-oriented architecture (SOA) collaborative infrastructure.
Leveraging the UC services with SAIC’s SOA is their GeoViz product, a commercial off-the-shelf, WebCentric GeoSpatial CollaborationTM tool suite that provides 2-D, 3-D and 4-D views of geographic areas of interest to military, security, safety and disaster management officials. The GeoViz tool suite provides a unique SOA-based, mission-oriented framework for allowing users and/or groups of users to compose their own specific mission (or user) defined operational picture (MDOP or UDOP) for subsequent collaboration and mission execution. Geospatial collaboration has become one of the hottest areas for government IT organizations seeking to provide a more complete emergency response solution using this new technology.
NEC Sphere’s software is designed as a business application that fits naturally into SOA environments. Its flexibility and openness allows solution integrators to easily create applications that are tailored to customers' needs. When combined with SAIC’s GeoViz collaborative framework the solution can deliver shared VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) through IP phones or soft phones, instant messaging and on-demand conferencing to different users across multiple domains. The result is rich collaboration among first responders and other emergency personnel that helps to assure emergency resources are deployed efficiently. A very complex technical problem of integrating rich media content is addressed for the first time in a manner that allows users to easily define their own need-based content, including voice communication for timely responses in a mission critical situations.
