EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: The Genetec multi-year software license delivers a robust, integrated solution for Security Center®, supporting cameras, access control, Clearance digital evidence management, camera federation, Public Announcement systems, and other public safety tools. This license enhances CapMetro’s safety culture by enabling seamless coordination of transit-specific security operations, including real-time surveillance, access control for restricted areas, and centralized management of video feeds across dispersed transit hubs. It facilitates Clearance for efficient handling of incident investigations and compliance, while PA system integration ensures rapid emergency communication across stations and vehicles. The software license also supports public safety collaboration through camera federation, sharing critical video data with first responders, and tools like automated alerts and notifications to address transit-related risks. Designed to the scale of CapMetro’s needs, the solution aligns with CapMetro’s commitment to passenger and employee safety, offering continuous updates and technical support to adapt to evolving transit security needs and regulatory standards.
BUSINESS CASE: The Genetec multi-year cloud-based license offers a strategic, cost-effective investment to modernize and unify CapMetro’s security technology infrastructure, directly aligning with organizational goals of enhancing passenger safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. By consolidating video monitoring, access control, evidence management, PA systems, and public safety tools into a single scalable platform, the solution reduces redundant licensing costs, minimizes downtime, and streamlines maintenance. The integration of Camera Federation and real-time collaboration tools enhances situational awareness across transit networks, enabling faster incident response and data-driven decision-making to mitigate risks. Furthermore, the digital evidence management module reduces administrative burdens and accelerates investigations, safeguarding CapMetro against liability while fostering public trust. The multi-year software license structure ensures predictable budgeting, continuous access to critical software updates, and future-ready adaptability to emerging security challenges. This proactive approach not only protects assets and passengers but also reinforces CapMetro’s reputation as a safety-focused transit authority, supporting long-term operational resilience and community confidence.
