Sentinel Visualizer is Now Available Beyond the Intelligence Community

  • DM Review Online, September 12, 2007

FMS, the Tysons Corner based software development firm, announced the launch of Sentinel Visualizer, a new product for customers with advanced data visualization tools that are not found in any other system.

Sentinel Visualizer introduces the capabilities of advanced Social Network Analysis, providing the ability to see and analyze complex relationships that exist within data. "Sentinel Visualizer enables state and local government agencies, police departments, and fusion centers to better analyze data," says Bob Batty, President and CEO of Forensic Logic which manages the data for the Texas law enforcement community. "This in turn leads to high-quality, actionable intelligence."

Data involving people can be analyzed and manipulated to determine key relationships, such as who talks to whom, and who's related to whom. Entities and events can be depicted visually so the user can see their timing and create connections between seemingly unrelated information and relationships. There are also geospatial tools to map, analyze and compare locations, and temporal capabilities to view how situations have changed over time.

"Sentinel Visualizer is robust enough to handle complex and meaningful link and social network analyses over complex data, yet intuitive enough to be immediately accessible," said Jonathan Adams, Principal of the Solutions Group at Eastport Analytics in Arlington, Virginia. "The new query and data management capabilities, as well as previously unavailable non-enterprise licensing options, make Sentinel Visualizer a competitive alternative to other link analysis products on the market."

"Sentinel Visualizer represents an innovative use of Microsoft SQL Server and Visual Studio .NET to deliver the next generation data analysis and visualization solutions to Federal Agencies," said Kris Teutsch, Director of Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security for Microsoft Corporation.
