i2 Launches The Most Comprehensive Analytical Multi-Source Search Solution For Criminal And Terrorist Threat Prevention
i2, the market leading provider of intelligence and investigation management software, recently launched i2 iXa Search Service with Full Text Searching technology which puts unprecedented power and clarity in the hands of analysts working on critical threats. As part of the i2 Intelligence-Led Operations Platform, the iXa Search Service enables analysts to gather data quickly and securely from multiple sources around the world. iXa Search Service shrinks vast volumes of data into meaningful intelligence in just seconds, transforming the productivity of analysts working in this critical field.
This unique new technology tackles one of the greatest challenges for those working in threat prevention. The volume of accessible information available today – internal data sources, publicly accessible databases, and data purchased from or shared by other organizations – has exploded and grown infinitely more complex. As a result, analysts typically spend 80 percent of their time researching, collecting and collating relevant data, leaving just 20 percent available for actual analysis.
iXa Search Service now provides the most comprehensive analytical search service available. The new Full Text Searching technology added to existing powerful Smart Searching functionality ensures users quickly locate and collate all relevant data. The Full Text functionality finds mission critical information wherever and however it is stored on the remote data site. iXa Search Service delivers i2 AnalysisReady Search Results™ directly to an environment packed with robust pre-analysis software tools. This combination of functionality is so powerful that the 80/20 split is reversed, freeing analysts to spend 80 percent of their time on using their skills to develop the information into timely and actionable intelligence.
"When it comes to thwarting increasingly chaotic and unpredictable criminal and terrorist threats, analysts' productivity can be as negatively impacted by too much data as it can by a lack of available information," said Chriss Knisley, Assistant Vice President at i2. "It is only by implementing innovative solutions like iXa Search Service that users can concentrate on creating meaningful intelligence to help their organizations proactively deter, prevent, predict and disrupt the world's most sophisticated criminal and terrorist threats. This is a quantum leap forward for the industry."
iXa Search Service is a key component of the i2 Intelligence-Led Operations Platform and is accessed directly from i2 Analyst's Notebook, meaning analysts never have to leave their analysis environment to search and expand results out to multiple levels. It enables simultaneous secure connections to multiple data sources in seconds with just one mouse click, and provides a range of searching options to match the requirements of the search and the analyst.
