Hillard Heintze and Prescient Announce Strategic Alliance and the Launch of the Traveler Solution and AppCHICAGO, Sept. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Hillard Heintze and Prescient announced a new strategic relationship. The joint agreement integrates Hillard Heintze's travel risk management competencies with Prescient's unique and proprietary big-data analytics and technology platforms to support the new Traveler solution and mobile application.  "This is an exciting development for us – and for many of our corporate clients," said Hillard Heintze CEO and co-founder Arnette Heintze. "Up to now, Hillard Heintze's travel-related client services to major enterprises and other employers with global workforces have been focused primarily on travel security advisory.

The solution delivers live, continuous monitoring of employees' locations in correlation with threat intelligence and information captured from nearly 50,000 discrete sources.
