Intergraph Corp. customer Istituto Geografico Militare Italiano (IGMI), one of the national institutions providing the Italian government with digital cartography and integrated feature data, used Intergraph software to aid in the security operations at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy.

IGMI collected, validated and integrated mapping data from multiple sources to create valuable location-specific information for use by security personnel in the prevention and response to critical incidents.

“Intergraph technology, together with other software, provided us with a strong foundation to meet the stringent requirements of the Winter Games,” said Gen. Carlo Colella, vice commandant, IGMI. “Security and safety are of paramount importance during the Olympics. Among others, Intergraph's capabilities in data integration gave us the power to collect, integrate and validate a vast amount of data from multiple sources giving Olympic security organizations a complete picture of Olympic venues to protect athletes and spectators.”
