Esri ArcGIS technology runs on more than one million desktops and thousands of web and enterprise servers worldwide, providing the backbone for worldwide spatial analysis and mapping. The partnership between Expert System and Esri Italia leverages the synergy between the respective technologies to automatically identify, extract and manage geographical information stored in unstructured data (documents, emails, social media, etc.).
"The geographic dimension of acquired open source data is a key element when making complex and sophisticated analysis today," said Andrea Melegari, Chief Operating Officer, Intelligence Division, Expert System. "The collaboration with Esri allows us to respond to our customers' requirements to maximize the potential of geo-referencing to more effectively support the decision making processes."
The integration of Esri geo-analysis technology and Expert System's knowledge management and text mining solutions renders geographic search and analysis activities more efficient. As a result, search results discovered through semantic analysis can be visualized in geographic maps derived from the geo-analysis, providing analysts with a deeper level of detail.
"The combination of Expert System's semantic expertise with our experience in geospatial intelligence gives us the ability to provide our customers with unconventional analysis tools," said Giancarlo Volpi, Sales Responsible for Defence & Intelligence market at Esri Italia. "This is an important collaboration not only for Defence and Intelligence, but even in the areas of National Security, Telecoms, Utilities and, in general, anywhere the analysis of large quantities of data, from a multitude of various and heterogeneous sources, can be summarized through a geographic vision."
Expert System will be demonstrating the new geographic features of its Cogito Intelligence Platform at the upcoming USEUCOM Information, Innovation, Integration, and Technology Conference and Exposition (i3T), taking place February 14-17, 2011 in Berlin, Germany.
