Incorporated in 1999, iJET was the first to introduce intelligence to the travel industry, which was then primarily focused on getting people from one location to another – not on keeping them safe during their trips. iJET began offering services that protected the individual traveler in March 2001, first through travel agencies and then to corporate travel departments. September 11, 2001 changed the way corporations thought about travelers and by the end of the year, iJET was protecting employees from 20 corporations.
The corporate world of risk management has evolved since then, and so has iJET. Early on, the company expanded its open source intelligence portfolio, acquiring Kroll Information Services in 2002 and Pinkerton Global Information Services in 2003. Those acquisitions quickly made iJET one of the largest private open source intelligence providers in the market.
Today, iJET’s 50-plus intelligence analysts and subject matter experts monitor operational threats and incidents such as terrorism, geopolitical developments, weather, transportation disruptions, natural disasters and infectious disease around the world, 24x7. iJET’s proprietary intelligence gathering and processing system enables analysts to quickly produce intelligence gleaned from more than 15,000 sources, using a combination of automated business processes and human input from around the world.
Over time, iJET has expanded its award-winning technology platform, Worldcue® Global Control Center to protect not just travelers but other multinational corporate assets as well. Relating threats to travelers, expatriates, facilities and suppliers, Worldcue provides accelerated decision support for security, HR, travel, business continuity and other corporate risk managers. These professionals rely on the integrated software-as-a-service Worldcue platform for: early-warning notifications of global threats and risks to their people and assets; dashboards and maps to assess the impact of events; and the capability to quickly find and communicate with affected parties as situations unfold.
iJET’s suite of professional services provides a complementary range of resiliency support – from employee training and global emergency response and evacuation to benchmarking risk management and resiliency programs and conducting threat assessment on key facilities, operating locations or areas targeted for business expansion.
Today, nearly 500 multinational organizations rely on iJET to help protect their employees on more than 9.3 million trips and thousands of expatriate assignments each year; monitor threats to more than 12,000 facilities, plants and supply chain assets globally; and assess risks associated with hundreds of new business opportunities.
Ultimately, iJET’s Worldcue solutions enable multinational corporations and government organizations to advance their resiliency initiatives across the extended enterprise, helping to position them for a competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
