Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security Chooses Visual Analytics Information Sharing Technologies for Statewide Project

VAI Team to Deliver Capability to Integrate and Securely Share Disparate Information Sets across the State

POOLESVILLE, Md., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visual Analytics Inc. (VAI), with partner Project Performance Corporation (PPC), has been awarded a contract from the Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Division of State Police to support an information sharing demonstration project to facilitate the fusion of data from several separate and remote data repositories from across the state. The project will demonstrate the ability to query and analyze state repositories without having to restructure and relocate data into a central data warehouse.

The solution will be housed at the Delaware Information Analysis Center (DIAC), currently being completed in Dover, and will allow users, both at the DIAC and at remote facilities in Delaware, to search and analyze information from a variety of disparate data repositories. VAI's Data Clarity Suite of tools will connect, index, and analyze disparate repositories of both structured and unstructured data

According to Bennett McPhatter, COO of VAI, "Using our Data Clarity Suite guarantees the Delaware State Police a cost-effective and low-risk solution that has been proven extensively in other law enforcement operations. We are proud to support Delaware in this initiative because they are one of the first states to truly implement a distributed, state-wide information sharing and analytical fusion center capability."

"Our unique server-to-server capability creates a secure and selective, federated, information sharing network" stated Mr. McPhatter. "This enables participating agencies to share data with one another while maintaining security and control over their data. This capability also allows Delaware to quickly expand its offering as more sites and data sources are introduced."

Under this contract, VAI and PPC will couple to several critical data sources and deliver the system to a number of pre-selected sites. PPC is responsible for the installation, configuration, training, and support of the technologies. PPC is a premium certified reseller of VAI's technologies.
