With over 62 separate agencies operating within the bounds of its departmental infrastructure, this MDI client is recognized as the largest organization of its kind in the world. The Department's primary charter is to defend the laws of the United States and ensure public safety against all foreign and domestic threats. The Department's agencies are also part of the Department of Homeland Security and assist in combating terrorism, investigating federal crimes, prosecuting online misconduct, corporate fraud and corruption.
After considering all market solutions, the Department selected the MDI system to upgrade its current security posture to a more robust and scalable enterprise solution than they are currently using, while complying with security requirements mandated under HSPD-12 and FIPS 201. The unique customization features of MDI's award-winning open architecture platform will empower department security professionals to manage by exception across multiple layers of protection. As a security event occurs, the automated system gives security managers complete situational awareness capabilities while allowing them to command and control the situation as needed, across multiple remote locations, based on levels of threat to people, facilities and assets.
"We are very proud to have been chosen as part of this key national security project by both the Contractor and the Client," stated J. Collier Sparks, President and CEO of MDI, Inc. "This award is a major success for MDI and serves as validation that we are once again setting the standard in unified access control, video surveillance and alarm management for the high-security government and defense marketplace. We will continue to explore additional partnerships and opportunities in the government market and in concurrence with our Learn Safe(TM) school safety and security initiative, we will be placing more emphasis on winning large government contracts in the future," he concluded.
