Accenture provides a range of services that address the needs of public safety agencies—police, intelligence, justice and first response—focused on protecting national interests and safeguarding citizens from the threat of international terrorism, and increasingly sophisticated criminal networks, all complicated by limited budgets and increased pressures on public safety personnel to deliver.
Accenture recognizes the unique challenges facing public safety agencies and can help them become high performers by identifying emerging opportunities and applying strategic insight, business analysis, and strong implementation and IT capabilities.
Public safety organizations have long recognized the need for information. With the advent of technologies that enable collaboration and coordination, agencies and enterprises are no longer limited to information harbored within their silo of operability. Where once it was acceptable to function as an autonomous organization, recent events have brought to light the need for a holistic model for information management and greater interoperability between public safety agencies both domestically and internationally.
Accenture’s research has shown that sharing information across agencies can be made possible, but not without the right planning, commitment, and technology skills. Drawing on experiences of system implementations around the world, Accenture provides a holistic model for information management and is designed to help public safety agencies design effective information management architectures. The framework is based upon a collaborative, strategic and enterprise-wide approach to information management.
