THE ANALYSIS CORPORATION AND INFOGLIDE SOFTWARE ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
Combination of Technology and Expertise Creates Powerful Offering for Intelligence Community
McLean, VA and Austin, TX - September 5, 2006 - The Analysis Corporation (TAC), a leading provider of counter-terrorism and anti-crime systems and services, and Infoglide Software Corporation, a leading provider of operational business intelligence solutions, announced a strategic alliance today. The partnership will greatly enhance the services the two companies offer to the Intelligence Community.
TAC will now be able to deploy and maintain Infoglide Software's Bladeworks solutions for intelligence, counterterrorism, law enforcement, defense, and homeland security customers. Under the agreement, Infoglide Software will integrate TAC's Celatro suite of products, including Fuzzy Finder™, Russian Name Search™, and Arabic Name Search™ with Bladeworks.
TAC provides expertise in mission critical data management systems, client support, and analytic services for the agencies and organizations at the forefront of our nation's security. Celatro features a diverse assortment of exact, inexact, and linguistic-based algorithms that quickly rank and order results based on their similarity to a specified pattern. Fuzzy Finder was designed to match inconsistent, incomplete, or erroneous alphanumeric data. Since its creation in 1990, Fuzzy Finder has been continuously operational within the government and has been a very effective tool for finding the names of suspected or known terrorists in various databases. Fuzzy Finder was extended with Arabic Name Search in 1997 to search terrorist watch lists maintained by the government. In 2000, it was further enhanced with Russian Name Search as part of a government effort to fight Russian organized crime.
"Infoglide Software's Bladeworks provides the ideal technical platform for applying sophisticated analytic tools to sensitive data, enabling the government and corporate users to create new knowledge and to make critical decisions in a timely fashion," says John O. Brennan, president and CEO of TAC. "Our combined capabilities will enable us to provide our customers an exceptionally powerful analytic solution to complex challenges."
Bladeworks is an enterprise software platform that accesses, analyzes, and delivers the most relevant information to the most appropriate resources in real-time. It helps intelligence analysts make better decisions by understanding constantly changing, distributed data, while preserving data ownership, confidentiality, and existing IT investments. Bladeworks has the unique ability to discover similarities and non-obvious relationships in data in real-time and apply the results of data analysis to an operational environment. Its open framework enables organizations to easily incorporate multiple technologies, analytics, software components, and both internal and external data sources. The system performs tasks such as decision automation, transaction processing, and extraction of knowledge from data sources.
"We are excited that TAC will deliver our technology into the intelligence marketplace," says Michael Shultz, Infoglide Software president and CEO. "Their deep relationships within the Intelligence Community will enable more agencies to implement robust risk management applications based upon our Bladeworks technology. Adding their Celatro algorithms to our open framework improves our ability to offer just the right combination of analytics for our customers' data analysis needs."
