About The Customer
NCP, founded in 1931, is the U.K.’s market leader in the provision of parking services. The company supplies over 200,000 parking spaces across more than 700 locations. The familiar yellow signage of NCP at car parks has become synonymous with parking in town centers, airports, and railway stations all over the United Kingdom. The company has a small IT team of three staff members who support NCP’s 550 IT users.
The Challenge
NCP, the U.K.’s market leader in the provision of parking services, was struggling with managing increasing amounts of spam. Despite having an on-network email security solution in place, the company was still dealing with spam, false positives, and system latency, which resulted in legitimate emails being delayed. With only three IT staff supporting NCP’s 550 IT users, the management of the situation was becoming a burden. The limited resources prompted NCP to consider switching to a hosted service.
The Solution
NCP chose Forcepoint Email Security as their solution. This system eliminates spam and malware before they reach the company network. The Forcepoint deployment model provides centralized security with built-in redundancy, failover, and business continuity while easing administration and optimizing network operating and capacity planning costs. NCP was particularly impressed with the speed at which Forcepoint processed incoming emails. The solution was also found to be cheaper than an in-house solution. As blended email and Web threats continue to become more sophisticated, protecting NCP’s end users from attack becomes more difficult. Forcepoint Email Security protects organizations from spam, Web 2.0 threats, and the converged security threats found in more than 90 percent of unwanted mail.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
