  • #10 Easy for you
  • #12 Easy ComplianceThe Department of Justice created a great slide deck at the tenth annual CIB Technology Conference which breaks down the CJIS requirements
  • #13 Easy ComplianceThe Department of Justice created a great slide deck at the tenth annual CIB Technology Conference which breaks down the CJIS requirements
  • #18 What do you do with encryption when they forget and they are in the field?
  • #19 Strong Security, but easier on you and your users, no loss in productivity
  • #20 Strong Security, but easier on you and your users, no loss in productivity
  • #21 Advantages: simpler and better value-for-moneyEasier and less expensive to manage and maintain – e.g. at least 30% TCO savings vs. combining several “point” solutionsImproved overall performance thanks to integration across applications – e.g. no incompatibility, security policies are always sync’dImproved user adoption and lower support costs – e.g. saving just one support call per user may pay back the cost of the software
