Jacksonville Sheriffs Office/Northeast Florida Criminal Justice Training and Education Center to Modernize Training Operations with Acadis OnlineTM






Bloomington, IN - August 29, 2006 - ENVISAGE Technologies launched the new delivery model for its highly acclaimed Acadis 4.0 Readiness Suite. This new turnkey hosted solution, Acadis OnlineTM, significantly reduces the cost of enterprise-class software for Law Enforcement Academies and First Responder Training Organizations.

The Jacksonville Sheriffs Office, in conjunction with the Northeast Florida Criminal Justice Training and Education Center (NFCJTEC), will be the first training organization to utilize the functionality of the Acadis 4.0 Readiness Suite via this new hosted solution. Acadis Online will enable NFCJTEC to manage student, officer and instructor information, curriculum, qualifications and certifications, learning objectives, exam questions, and optimize the scheduling of resources and instructors to meet the demand of their basic police and in-service training requirements across the Greater Northeast Florida area.

Commonly referred to as “Software as a Service” (SaaS), the hosted model significantly reduces the total cost of ownership by eliminating the need for expensive server hardware, operating systems, database licensure, and additional IT support, while providing the entire range of functionality provided by the Acadis Readiness Suite.

“We chose ENVISAGE based on their solution and subject matter expertise, after extensive research of law enforcement training management software,” stated Mark Stevens, Assistant Chief of the NFCJTEC. “The functionality provided in Acadis was exactly what we need to replace our outdated records management system. We can now track our training at a detailed level, schedule instructors and resources, and automate our testing. This will allow us to manage our part of the certification process in Florida and report necessary information to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement using the XML data format Acadis provides. Further, we can do this with a very small initial investment.”

Located in a secure network operations center at ENVISAGE headquarters, the Acadis Online service is supported by highly qualified Microsoft- and Oracle-certified staff. The service can be accessed securely by training organizations from any authorized PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and a secure internet connection.

“ENVISAGE is pleased to provide a low cost and highly secure training management solution to the NFCJTEC,” stated Cory Myers, Vice President of Homeland Security Solutions for ENVISAGE. “Software as a Service allows us to provide enterprise technology to organizations that are in need of training standardization and modernization, at a price point that most can easily afford. By eliminating the large capital investments in hardware, operating systems, and additional IT staff, our hosted solution enables training organizations to focus on their core mission: training world-class law enforcement officers and first responders to protect the public.”
