Collaborative effort will leverage International SOS, the leading medical and security risk services solution, with IDV Solutions’ state-of-the-art security and risk visualization technology to better serve clients
APRIL 4, 2013 – Philadelphia, PA and Lansing, MI – International SOS, the world’s leading medical and security services provider, and IDV Solutions, the leading physical security and risk visualization software company, announced today an exclusive, long-term commercial and technological partnership which will offer existing and potential customers of both companies an extended range of options for tracking and protecting organizations’ travelers, expatriates, employees, and assets.
International SOS’s TravelTracker and IDV Solutions’ Visual Command Center will offer two distinct—yet complementary—solutions for navigating the most challenging business environments. Used together, the two linked platforms will share data to provide a greatly expanded and sophisticated solution for risk awareness and response.
TravelTracker and Visual Command Center will deliver significantly increased situational awareness of travelers, expatriates, employees, and assets. This information will be visualized with International SOS security and medical alerts, information from other sources of risk (like severe weather, terrorism, natural disasters, traffic, and more), and additional internal information (like the location of supply lanes or operations).
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with IDV Solutions,” International SOS Group Executive Vice President Tim Daniel said. “This partnership allows us to put all of our focus on the next generation of TravelTracker, and it places us at the cutting edge of travel risk management technology. We’re very pleased to introduce IDV Solutions, a market leader and a strong partner, to our clients who are looking for a wider tracking solution and risk visualization.”
With access to International SOS’s 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.”
