"In support of homeland security initiatives, Crossflo along with its partners have been participating in the first phase of the Michigan Fusion Center Project known as the Michigan Intelligence Operation Center or MIOC. The MIOC solution allows the Fusion Center to access data from multiple sources, analyze it to connect the dots, and take action on that information. Successful Crossflo CDX data sharing implementations such as those in Michigan and New Jersey are positioning us to effectively compete for other fusion center programs throughout the United States and international markets as well.
The popular belief is that this type of transparent efficient data sharing between governmental agencies goes on today. However, this is a fiction largely reserved for movies, novels and television. In the nearly eight years since 9/11 much progress has been made, but it’s only been recently with the emergence of the NIEM’s standard and federal mandates to employ it that more cost efficient and easily expandable data sharing initiatives have been made feasible. Crossflo’s involvement in defining and our expertise in effectively implementing the NIEM standard have provided us the opportunity to become a leader in secure data sharing applications. This was a key determinant in Patriot’s decision to acquire Crossflo."
