China`s Chongqing Metro Monorail Selects NICE`s Digital Video Security Solution to Protect Passengers and Assets Against Crime and Potential Terror Threats
Ra`anana, Israel, November 04, 2009 - NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions to drive performance, today announced that it has been selected by China`s Chongqing Metro to provide NICE`s digital video security solution to enhance safety and security at the 18 monorail stations of its Line 3 route, against crime and potential threats. The NICE solution was selected following successful deployment of 6 Beijing Metro lines, and comes following the seventh project for Beijing Metro`s Line 15. NICE` business partner for the project is Beijing JingShiDa Machinery and Equipment Research Institute.
The Chongqing Metro is a monorail system in Chongqing, the first of its kind in China, part of the central government's project to develop the Western regions in China. Line 3 will run from north to south, linking the districts separated by Chongqing's two main rivers, the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. When completed, Line 3 will be over 21 kilometers long, and will have 18 stations, five of which will be underground. The line is also intended to be extended north toward Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport and south to Yudong in Ba'nan District.
NICE`s advanced real-time distributed digital video solution will be deployed to help protect passengers and the metro line and stations. It will be deployed in the Traffic Command and Control Center, connected to a security system that consists of 700 channels. By providing real-time alerts to security personnel, the result will be enhanced passenger safety and better asset protection.
"We are pleased to be selected once more for protecting China`s mass transit metro system," Doron Ben-Sira, President APAC. "This is another milestone project, which reflects once more our growing presence in Asia`s security market as well as the unique value add of NICE`s solutions for enhancing the safety and security of transportation networks all over the world."

Bancolombia Works with Actimize, a NICE Company, and Unisys to Build Stronger Enterprise-Wide Fraud Management Program
Colombia`s Largest Bank Deploys Actimize Card, Remote Banking, Deposit, Wire and Employee Fraud Prevention Solutions on a Single Technology Platform
NEW YORK - November 30, 2009 - Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) company and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial
crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services
industry, and Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that Bancolombia is working with both
firms to strengthen its ability to fight fraud across the entire bank. Bancolombia
is implementing Actimize ATM/Debit, Remote Banking, Wire & ACH Fraud
prevention solutions. As a strategic Actimize partner, Unisys is
working on deployment of the solutions.
As a leader in the Colombian market, Bancolombia strives to best protect customer and firm assets by combating the threat of fraud across all its lines of business. Once deployed, the Actimize suite of fraud prevention solutions will monitor all types of transactions enterprise-wide, alerting on suspicious behavior and blocking truly risky transactions.
"We performed an exhaustive review of all the top fraud prevention solutions in the market, looking for a single vendor who can cover our entire enterprise fraud needs," said Joaquín Fernando Yepes, IT security and compliance director at Bancolombia. "Actimize solutions and Unisys services are a major component of Bancolombia's strategy to provide greater levels of security to our customers."
Financial institutions are being confronted with new types of fraud attacks on a daily basis. In the past, fraud criminals typically specialized in a single channel (e.g., credit card fraud, online banking fraud), but now high loss fraud events increasingly incorporate multiple channels. The Actimize enterprise-wide fraud solution suite protects across all channels, from ATM/Debit cards, remote banking (online, mobile phone, phone), deposit, electronic payment and more. Additionally, Actimize solutions monitor many types of employee behavior, looking for and alerting investigators to suspicious activities.
"Fraud is a global problem that has no boundaries," said Amir Orad, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Actimize. "Our strategic partnership with Unisys helps Actimize ensure quality deployments around the globe. Our cross-channel financial crime prevention solutions are today used by firms around the world because they scale to meet the challenges faced by large, complex enterprises while maintaining the flexibility to exceed group level and individual expectations."
