The team that keeps Brigham Young University students and staff safe around the world

The image depicts a scenic view of a mountainous landscape at dawn or dusk. In the foreground, there is a sprawling urban area with a mix of buildings, including a prominent multi-story structure with horizontal lines and another large building beside it. The cityscape is surrounded by dense clusters of trees. Behind the urban area, a series of rugged mountains rise steeply, displaying a variety of earthy tones such as browns and greens. The mountains have visible ridges and valleys, creating a striking contrast against the smoother textures of the sky. The sky itself is gently lit, indicating a soft sunrise or sunset light.

Landes Holbrook, Senior Manager for Global Security, Health and Safety, saw the need for an intelligence platform that student assistants could adopt quickly – one that still delivered detailed, actionable risk intelligence without overwhelming the team with noise. They needed speed, clarity and simplicity. A few years ago, Holbrook and Cluff selected Factal to help meet that challenge.

“Of all the platforms we use, I think it’s [Factal] that is most quickly adopted and understood by them,” Cluff says about the student assistants on the team. “They all picked it up quite fast, within a week.”
