“The enhancements made to Abacus 2.0 are a logical extension of a product that effectively enables domestic and international agencies to leverage their current surveillance cameras and turn them into real-time data collection and incident detection systems,” said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. “We believe this leverage can translate into cost savings for these agencies, which we expect will be a key driver of the product’s demand.”
