Melville, New York-based Verint Systems Inc. portrays itself as a provider of analytic software-based solutions for both law enforcement and the business community. In essence the company sells software that helps customers to collect, store, and sift through voice, video, fax, e-mail, Internet, and data transmissions for security purposes—to turn raw data into "actionable intelligence." Verint's Star-Gate product line is aimed at communications service providers such as wired and cellular telephone companies and Internet service providers, and is used to set up a communications intercept for law enforcement organizations and other government agencies as authorized. The Reliant and Vantage products are sold to law enforcement and government agencies, used to collect, store, and analyze intercepted communications. Verint's Network Video Solutions business segment is represented by the Nextiva platform and suite of software applications, which identifies unusual activity and then sends notification to security personnel for review. Finally Verint offers contact center business intelligence solutions through the Ultra product line, used by call centers to record and analyze customer interactions with call center employees, whether they be by phone, e-mail, online chat, or co-browsing sessions on the Internet. Verint maintains operations across the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific Rim. Verint is a public company, listed on the NASDAQ.
