MEMEX ADHERES TO N-DEX REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION SHARING.

Memex Compliance Facilitates Data Exchange, Improves Efficiency and Decision-Making for Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Homeland Security Organizations

VIENNA, Va. – January 6, 2009 – Memex, Inc., today announced its compliance with the National Data Exchange system, the FBI’s criminal justice information-sharing platform, making it easy for Memex customers to exchange data with each other and to submit that data to N-DEX, if desired.

Memex provides intelligence management, data integration, search and analysis solutions that enable law enforcement agencies to manage and retrieve intelligence that prevents all scales of crime. Memex helps organizations uncover unexpected facts, and connect patterns between people and events through the entire intelligence life cycle.

Now, Memex has the ability to exchange (import and export) data in a format compatible with the N-DEX Information Exchange schema specification.

N-DEX is a national standard to which Memex adheres. Through N-DEX compliance, Memex customers also will be able to share intelligence with other agencies much better. Such information sharing aids in catching criminals as well as identifying trends and patterns to help prevent crimes and terrorist attacks.

“Memex strongly supports N-DEX to make universal information sharing and effective communication a reality,” said Steve Serrao, Director of Product Management, Americas Region for Memex. “Secure and timely information exchange is crucial to law enforcement professionals and others responding to terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and crime.”

N-DEX is based on the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), a partnership between the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, which supports information-sharing standards across all levels and branches of government.

These include justice, public safety, emergency management, intelligence and homeland security. NIEM goes beyond the Global Justice XML (Extensible Markup Language) Data Model, which enables information sharing only among justice organizations.

Despite performing similar operational functions, and capturing and using common information, agencies have varying internal business processes from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. They also use different information systems and technologies. NIEM was built to address these challenges.
