Ensuring that personnel are kept
up to date with key information, targets, facts, policies and procedures
is often difficult to achieve.
Bluestar has adopted a novel approach to solving
this problem with the Spotlight Auto-Briefer. Spotlight is an intelligent
screen saver component that automates the process of disseminating
information by using idle time on desktop machines.
All desktop users are familiar with a traditional
screen saver that typically executes a simple graphics display after
a period of inactivity on the machine. Spotlight allows you to define
any number of data sources containing information that you would
wish to display. For example, Intranet pages containing policy information
and today's briefing.
Spotlight then allows users to enrich this data
by providing fully integrated access to the main Corvus repository.
Integration is optional but if adopted, also provides access to
all types of information automatically captured by Corvus.
In a police environment, Spotlight could show
briefing information such as current targets, patrol alerts and
expected dates of release. In any environment, Spotlight can be
used to show company news items, Intranet/Internet pages, current
policies - any kind of information that needs to be disseminated
to personnel.
