“Verint has displayed a high level of market sophistication through its knowledge of mass transit security market characteristics and has leveraged this knowledge and its technological prowess to great effect,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Friso Buker. “Verint’s products and services are employed in mass transit networks throughout major European nations, and the company is already poised to take advantage of numerous high-value security projects still to come.”

Verint’s Nextiva Transit is a next-generation video management platform designed specifically to address the complex security needs of mass transit systems today. This advanced platform allows transit authorities to enhance the effectiveness of mass transit security initiatives, helping them proactively counter threats, improve emergency event response, and conduct more productive investigations.

Verint’s keen understanding of the unique challenges of mass transit security in terms of its inherently mobile nature and high degree of vulnerability, as well as its knowledge of the different requirements of individual mass transit systems has enabled the company to develop integrated IP video security and surveillance solutions that help transit authorities considerably enhance passenger and employee safety.

Apart from Nextiva Transit, the Nextiva product line boasts of a wide variety of advanced security products including Intelligent Edge Devices which enable digital recording of video and data from practically any location in the mass transit system and advanced analytics which can automatically highlight events for further investigation through the use of programmable security policies.

What is commendable about the company is that it is constantly looking to add value to its offerings by taking customer suggestions into consideration. By giving importance to the voice of the customer, Verint has been able to incorporate additional non-security related capabilities and functionalities.

Some of these functionalities include analytic capabilities to count the number of people in buses or trains for fleet management purposes and IP-based camera specifically designed for mass transit vehicles that will enable automatic video data downloads as well as automate equipment ‘health checks’.

Having experienced early success in mass transit systems in Sweden and the United Kingdom, Verint has leveraged this accomplishment to promote its ability to provide effective security systems to one of the most challenging threat domains in the world. These early successes have given potential customers a clear idea of the application of Verint’s solutions and how they could be used to secure their own transit systems.

As a result, Verint has achieved considerable success in Spain and France as well, and is also set to enjoy further success in Germany, Italy, Portugal and Norway. All these countries are looking to secure their mass transit security systems.

“With its catalogue of market successes providing an excellent backdrop to approach future mass transit security projects around Europe, and its proactive addition of value-added offerings, Verint is ideally positioned to continue its exceptional success in the mass transit security market,” concludes Buker.
