ATLANTA, Jan. 12, 2017 -- Izenda, offering a self-service business intelligence (BI) and analytics platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) used by software companies and solutions providers, today announced an integration partnership with Orion Communications, Inc. - a leader in public safety workforce management software. By embedding Izenda in Orion’s AgencyWeb^® application, public safety command staff will be able to easily access, analyze, and report on operational data regarding their workforce resources – from administrative requirements, to calls, events, units, and more.

According to Lee Nagel, vice president of marketing at Izenda, “Izenda seamlessly integrates self-service BI into the workflow of Orion’s AgencyWeb^® application to give in-context analytics to the end users who need it to make real-time decisions. Our embedded analytics platform inherits Orion’s security model to assure compliance with all state and federal regulations.”
