Orsus® launches Situator™ v4
All new control room situation management software


Comprehensive suite of tools for security and safety awareness systems
convergence and adaptive response planning and automation

New York, October 10, 2006 – Orsus, a pioneer in situation management software,
today announced the launch of Situator version 4, a full-featured release of their
situation management software suite, redesigned for a broad range of security,
safety and enterprise environments. Since the release of version 3,
Orsus worked closely with customers, partners and consultants around the world.
Based on field-proven experience, Orsus has developed a solution that significantly
improves the speed, effectiveness and efficiency of response to security and safety
events and exceptions.

"Physical security directors have never seen a comprehensive solution the likes
of Situator," according to security industry analyst Steve Hunt, president of
4A International. "It puts usable situation awareness and up-to-date expert
knowledge in the hands of everyone in the system so that they can all do
what needs to get done quickly and effectively."

Situator is a security and safety situation management software suite for
integrated control rooms. It creates an environment where all current and future
technologies, people and actionable procedures are fused into a unified, control
and management platform. It leverages existing security investments
and empowers security personnel to focus on exception management.

With advanced yet easy-to-use planning tools, Situator helps to transform
routine and emergency plans into actionable, adaptive tasks and procedures
and integrate them with virtually any security and safety devices,
management systems, dynamic data sources and communication systems.
This convergence can dramatically reduce control room complexity.
In addition to reducing complexity through convergence of awareness systems,
Situator makes it possible to integrate connected technologies into automated
incident response procedures. Built-in incident reporting, event simulation and
debriefing tools help to ensure continuously improved preparedness.
This approach requires a strong understanding of the physical security and safety
market but more importantly an understanding of the software and IT world
that hardware vendors generally do not have.

In addition to a major user interface upgrade that makes Situator v4 easy to use,
even for beginners, this new version adds features such as decision-making support
mechanisms, interactive mobile/PDA capabilities, advanced dynamic GIS mapping,
innovative simulation, training and reporting tools and support
for many more industry-standard security and safety systems including integration
with new access control, DVR/VMD, fire detection systems and alarm panels.

"I am intrigued by the reaction of security and safety directors when we
show them version 4 for the first time. Often, I hear them say,
'This is exactly what I'm looking for but I didn't know that it existed',"
said Rafi Bhonker, vice president, marketing and sales at Orsus.
"This new version of Situator takes into account the fact that every
organization uses aunique set of technologies and policies to manage their
security and safety operation. Situator's open architecture adapts to those
factors

and delivers exactly what each customer needs throughout the entire
situation management lifecycle, and serves as a platform for growth."

Situator reduces potentially costly human error, makes it easy to establish
and maintain compliance with industry and government regulations
and dramatically improves the speed and effectiveness of incident response
and recovery while actually reducing operating costs.

Recently debuted at ASIS in San Diego, Situator is now available and fully
supported in the US through a network of security and safety integrators.
