Lawful and location intelligence technologies are critical to the missions of law enforcement, the intelligence community, and emergency services organizations worldwide. They help agents safeguard society from street crime, serious and organized crime, and terrorism as well as respond to emergency calls. Advanced mediation solutions also help communication service providers efficiently maintain regulatory compliance while providing highly effective lawful interception.
Law Enforcement Agency and Communication Service Provider customers sometimes obtain technological capabilities from small-to-medium sized providers such as solution integrators and resellers. Specialized domain expertise in lawful and location intelligence can be a challenge for such providers, however, which typically operate in many other market segments as well.
The SS8 Acceler8 program is designed to fill that gap with a comprehensive partnership to drive deals forward and build lasting success. SS8 is a global intelligence leader with nearly 25 years of experience meeting customer needs and a commitment to protecting personal privacy. Through Acceler8, member companies gain credibility and the positioning to deliver innovative lawful and location intelligence, enhancing their product portfolios of adjacencies such as cybersecurity, threat intelligence, storage solutions, and network equipment.
