Dear NICE customer,
I am very excited to announce the winners of NICE Systems' first annual NICE Telecommunicator of the Year Contest, an awards competition designed to recognize telecommunicators who have exhibited outstanding professionalism and dedication. I invite you to visit www.nice.com/news/newsletter/6_04s/telecommunicators.php to read more about our 2006 NICE Telecommunicators of the Year. You'll also be able to read more about our award-winners in upcoming issues of NICE News Special Edition.

On behalf of everyone at NICE Systems, I would like to thank each and every individual who took the time to submit a nomination for the Telecommunicator of the Year competition. National Public Safety Telecommunicators week, which we celebrate each year, is a time to recognize those individuals who tirelessly answer hundreds of thousands of emergency calls. Even though we could only select a handful of top award recipients, we would like to say "thank you" to all of you. You are truly our nation's first first responders - a lifeline to all of us in a time of need.

REEDY CREEK EMERGENCY SERVICES: WORLD-CLASS CUSTOMER CARE FOR WALT DISNEY WORLD
Each year, millions of tourists visit the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. They're treated to a magical experience, thanks to thousands of Disney "cast members" who exemplify Disney's enduring tradition of outstanding guest service. The commitment to service is apparent in Walt Disney World's world-class accommodations and amenities, in the meticulously coiffed and lush resort landscapes, and - most of all - in the ample smiles and friendly demeanor of the Disney staff.

While most guests are far more likely to dial the concierge or front desk than 9-1-1 during their stay at Walt Disney World, they would still be heartened to know that the same commitment to quality service applies to emergency services at Disney, too. Dial 9-1-1 on the premises of Walt Disney World, and your call will be immediately connected to a highly-trained and well-equipped telecommunicator at the Reedy Creek Emergency Services (RCES) communications center.

READY, SET, GO: SELECTING AN IP RECORDING SOLUTION FOR YOUR PSAP
Although VoIP phone service has not yet eclipsed traditional telephone service, it continues to grow at a dizzying pace - and VoIP 9-1-1 calls are on the rise too. The question of how to handle an impending onslaught of VoIP 9-1-1 calls has become a springboard for a larger debate about IP's future role in public safety. Exactly when IP will make a full-fledged arrival in 9-1-1 centers is anybody's guess - but one thing is certain: as you implement IP telephony in your comm. center, you'll need to invest in recording technology that is capable of capturing these IP interactions. As you consider different options, don't underestimate the complexity of IP recording.

NICE QUICK CUSTOMER SURVEY - VOIP
VoIP is one of the hottest topics in public safety today. While the wrangling over how to handle VoIP 9-1-1 calls continues, the volume of such calls continues to grow. VoIP calls to 9-1-1, which numbered in the hundreds of thousands just two years ago, are expected to exceed 3 million this year, and grow tenfold by the end of 2007. PSAPs are also taking steps to selectively deploy IP telephony. While today, IP telephony is mostly reserved for administrative lines or the back office, it's clear that IP has an important role to play in the future public safety landscape. We'd like to hear about your agency's experience in handling VoIP 9-1-1 calls and about your future plans for deploying IP telephony.
