In Microsoft's global security operations centers (GSOCs) on three continents, security operators monitor hundreds of corporate facilities, accessing corporate databases, live video feeds, and alarm system alerts. Simultaneously, they check world news feeds for events that might impact company property or employees. Until recently, these operators depended on dozens of proprietary technologies that didn't interoperate. When an important event surfaced on a news feed, it was a challenge to determine which facilities might be affected and to bring the right people into the loop.

To improve their ability to respond to emergencies around the world, the GSOCs implemented a new security application built on Visual Fusion. The application integrates data from local security staff, live video feeds, alarm system messages, and Web feeds in a map-based view.
