Lansing's IDV Partners With Philadelphia Medical And Security Firm

LANSING -- IDV Solutions, the Lansing-based physical security and risk visualization software developer, Thursday announced a partnership with Philadelphia, Pa.-based International SOS, a medical and security services provider.

The companies say the long-term commercial and technological partnership offers their customers an extended range of options for tracking and protecting travelers, expatriates, employees and assets.

International SOS' TravelTracker and IDV Solutions' Visual Command Center provide two distinct, yet complementary solutions to navigate some of the most challenging business environments. Used together, the two linked platforms will share data, offering an expanded and sophisticated solution for risk awareness and response.

TravelTracker and Visual Command Center will deliver increased situational awareness for travelers, expatriates, employees and assets. This information will be visualized with International SOS security and medical alerts, other sources of risk (like severe weather, terrorism, natural disasters, traffic, and more), and additional internal commercial information (like the location of supply lanes or operations).

"This places us at the cutting edge of travel risk management technology," said Tim Daniel, International SOS group executive vice president. "We're very pleased to introduce IDV Solutions, a market leader and a strong partner, to our clients who are looking for a broader tracking solution and risk visualization."

With access to International SOS' extensive global network of medical and security travel expertise, IDV Solutions will offer newly enhanced risk intelligence for its successful Visual Command Center.

"This is about opening new doors as we grow our business," said Mark Morrison, CEO of IDV Solutions. "International SOS brings to the table relationships built over decades and we're excited about the opportunity to work together to provide an end-to-end solution."

IDV Solutions' Visual Command Center enables a security operations team to proactively receive/collect "risk" events from many types of disparate information sources, data services and security systems to then visualize the risk those events may pose to the organization's assets (employees, buildings, supply chain, etc.).

International SOS services include assessing medical and travel security risks, advising on preventative programs with in-country expertise and assisting with emergency response for business travelers and global assignees. It serves multinational corporate clients, governments and NGOs.
