CNI operators find it increasingly difficult to make optimum use of the many security solutions that they deploy. This often involves large costs and complex integration processes. Octopus has successfully changed this by developing a truly versatile IT and mobile phone based system which is minimally intrusive and optimizes the security architecture by deploying a powerful C2 system. For these reasons Octopus is truly deserving of the New Product Innovation Award for Command and Control Solutions for CNI.
