Centralized Master Tables
Integrated Hub stores the master names, vehicles, property, wanted persons, on-call scheduling, resources, dissemination, and profiling tables, with a single entry/single inquiry feature to reduce duplicate data entry. Another benefit of the centralized database is the extensive auto data field population among different tables. For example, when a dispatcher begins adding a call, the information obtained from the call automatically populates in a name or property record. This reduces the need for dispatchers to re-enter information for one incident multiple times in several different databases or tables.

Every module within the Spillman system pulls information from these master tables, so any data that is entered is automatically available throughout the entire system in real time.

Messaging Center
The Integrated Hub enables immediate communication between all system users with e-mail and instant messaging capabilities. Sending out an ATL, BOLO, or Amber Alert to all system users, including mobile patrol units, is simple and fast, which increases the likelihood of apprehending a suspect or rescuing a kidnapped child. The software is also ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) compliant, allowing your agency to access both Windows® and UNIX® applications to extract data via SQL queries.

Accurate Geobase
Spillman’s Integrated Hub also comes with Geobase, allowing you to build a database of detailed street and address information about your jurisdiction. Each time you enter an address the software performs a search and displays all matching addresses from the database. It lists the city and the x- and y-coordinates of each address so that you can select the correct one. The program also automatically verifies that addresses entered are valid, so units will not be dispatched to a location that does not exist. Automatic alerts notify the dispatcher if an address is not valid.

Single Source Open Database and GJXDM
The open architecture design of the Spillman database supports industry standards such as Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and SQL so data is readily accessible. The software also incorporates the Global Justice XML Data Model which lets agencies, including emergency services and courts, search the system without developing costly interfaces. This feature makes it possible for agencies within a region to share one central Spillman database between “host” and “shared” agencies, and public safety agencies across a region or state using different vendors or disparate systems can also share information with Spillman InSight.
