A flexible data storage model and various reporting options to disseminate the most complex scenarios are available to front-line, back-office, and managerial teams through a single environment. IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform provides information for all at the time and place of need for improved situational awareness and decision-making.

Extensible, scalable, interoperable, service-orientated architecture

One of the major benefits of the platform is the unbound scalability that allows the offering to cater from the smallest work group to the largest enterprise deployment. This high degree of scalability is delivered through IBM i2's multi-tiered (n-tier) architecture. The architecture allows choices to be available, such as deploying services on different servers, mirroring services to meet demands, and load balancing requests services to ensure performance is optimized to meet the customer's requirements. The core services (Read and Write) are also split and structured in such a way that it addresses the complex issue of satisfying consistency, availability, and partial tolerance across a distributed computer system. Unlike many third-party systems, the group Analysis Repository at the heart of the IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform has been designed to shape around an organization's existing infrastructure, ensuring that existing work practices are complemented rather than having to be altered because of its introduction. The service-oriented architecture offered by the platform allows services to be tailored or created to interact with existing enterprise systems, allowing data to be seamlessly presented in third-party offerings and not just IBM i2 clients.

Common, collaborative environment offering assisted analysis tools through a rich desktop client and lightweight browser capabilities

To access and question the data held in the optimized analysis repository at the heart of the IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform is the Intelligence Portal, offering a thin client application. While on the move, the Intelligence Portal provides access to knowledge and information through core discovery capabilities. This provides front-line, back-office, and managerial teams with the right tools for complete access to knowledge, information, and intelligence at the time and place of need for improved situational awareness and decision-making.

Robust, highly configurable, and pervasive security model

IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform delivers a robust and highly flexible access control model that caters to all data authorization needs. Accredited to applicable security standards such a DCID 6-3 PL-3, the security model provides configurable authentication and user management using an organization's existing directory services. Providing fine-grained access control for data, the flexibility of security stems from its generic, three-dimensional model, namely:

Security classification based on the clearance level of the user and which essentially defines the visibility of information to an individual
Role-based security based on the user's roles or groups, which could reflect an individual's job function, department, or team, and which can be used to not only define what data users have access to but what they are allowed to do within the system.
Compartment-based security based on the user's need to know, allowing data to be segmented by an operation, case, or other business requirements

With information sharing so important, the IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform also allows data "sign posting," meaning specific groups or users are permitted to see that an item exists without presentation of any information. Additionally, it allows contact details to be added ensuring that users know from whom to request more information.

Flexible and dynamic data model optimized for multi-dimensional views

The platform has a single source of truth. It is from this single source that the multiple consuming services acquire and optimize the organization's complex knowledge and information through the Enterprise Service Bus for analysis. This single source of truth, known as the Event Store, can be compressed and backed-up using off-the-shelf technology. In the unimaginable situation of a fatal error, the system can be recovered with the complete confidence that there has been no data loss. The Event Store, together with the Enterprise Service Bus, ensures complete durability in the system, providing each consuming service with up-to-date data. No matter which service is called, the user can have complete confidence in the results returned. This provides users with the confidence that the only difference between one person's results and another's is the view they have placed on that data and the availability of information due to security permissions.

As we know from past events, the way we question data can alter as time, political, socio-demographic, and other patterns alter. The services within the platform absorb and tailor the data to satisfy the variety of questions being asked and therefore provide the most efficient response time. Should a new service be required to cater for new analysis or reporting of information within an organization, the highly configurable, open platform provides the necessary infrastructure to create tailored services with no down time to business operations.

Proven linage of collaborative, analytical, and visualization offerings used across law enforcement, defense, national security, and commercial organizations worldwide

IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform is built upon a lineage of collaborative and analysis products that can be traced back over 15 years of real-world usage across law enforcement, defense, national security and commercial organizations. Earlier IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis offerings that enabled collaboration across analyst, front-line, and managerial teams have been providing successful results for over 2,500 organizations worldwide. With the evolution of "smarter" analysis capabilities, enhanced pervasive security, and the ability to build upon leading-edge technology with broad scalability, the IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform enables IBM i2 to continue to drive collaborative analysis across organizations and their partners to disrupt and dissolve criminal activities and the threat of terrorism.

IBM i2 Fraud Intelligence Analysis

The nature of fraud demands that detection, management and treatment fall within the governance, risk, and compliance functions of an organization. The differing, but interlinked, requirements of risk management, compliance, and internal and external investigation groups demand different views of fraudulent activity and, most importantly, proof to support decisions and actions. IBM i2 Fraud Intelligence Analysis provides each of these functions with the ability to view appropriate elements of fraud patterns and to collaborate effectively to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to meet the needs of each department's responsibility for the management and treatment of fraud.

Risk alerting

Early identification of possible fraud eliminates the costs, time, and pain associated with complex investigations and reclamation. Knowing "who is who" and "who knows who" is critical to this process. Key fraud indicators combine information from watch lists, known fraud perpetrators, and other relevant sources in a risk scorecard that provides visibility of risk and helps enable proactive remedial action.

Analytics and visualization

IBM i2 Fraud Intelligence Analysis includes market-leading analytical tools to provide rapid forensic investigation of abnormal and unexpected behavior. Vast quantities of data from unrelated sources are analyzed and visualized in a number of rich formats to support your investigation.

Collaboration and investigation

Fraud prevention requires intelligence and involvement from across your organization. IBM i2 Fraud Intelligence Analysis provides an intuitive, interface for stakeholders to contribute to, share and analyze your investigation data leading to faster, more informed decision-making.

Information dissemination

Real-time delivery of accurate, actionable intelligence helps ensure that your response teams have the required information at hand. Personalized dashboards are easily created including rich text, images, tables, and statistical and graphical widgets. Timely and secure delivery of information ensures that relevant and accurate information to counter threat and raise internal awareness are available.

Our approach

IBM i2 Fraud Intelligence Analysis is

Quickly deployed. Rapid implementation provides quick returns, typically within weeks.
Flexible. Your data can be left on existing servers, and investigative and briefing interfaces are delivered over a thin client.
Extensible. It can be integrated with existing systems as well as other IBM solutions.

IBM i2 iBase

IBM i2 iBase is an intuitive database application that facilitates collaborative teams of analysts to capture, control, and analyze multi-source data in a secure, workgroup environment, addressing the analyst's daily challenge of discovering and uncovering meaning and connections in today's increasing volumes of complex structured and unstructured data. IBM i2 iBase is designed with input from analysts' real-world usage across national security, law enforcement, military intelligence, and commercial organizations and so represents and supports real-world workflow and usage patterns.

IBM i2 iBase is not just another repository, it provides rich analysis and visualization capabilities to identify cohesive networks, patterns, and trends, together with dissemination tools to support faster and more informed decision making. Analysts can maximize the value of their stored information through the tight integration with IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook, providing advanced analysis tools for multi-dimensional analysis. In addition, IBM i2 iBase provides connectivity to leading geographical information systems (GIS) through the optional licensed IBM i2 iBase Geographic Information System Interfaces. IBM i2 iBase comprises a wide variety of data management and analysis capabilities that offer the following key benefits:

Flexible data acquisition and management

IBM i2 iBase offers highly flexible tools to map and transform information imported from structured and unstructured data sources into a centralized repository. Once information is modeled in a common format, users can capitalize on data management tools to identify duplication and commonality across previously unrelated sources.

Automated and task-driven analysis

IBM i2 iBase Users have access to a wide range of analytical tools to uncover hidden connections faster, helping analysts to delivery timely and actionable results. For instance, features such as Search 360 comprehensively and securely search intelligence stored in records, charts, and documents through a straightforward internet-style search bar. Alternatively, powerful visual-based queries provide the ability to ask complex, focused questions without needing to learn complicated computational query languages. Analysts can interrogate the data rather than waste time trying to identify whether they posed the question that they intended.

Managed collaboration and workflow support

Built-in collaborative tools such as folder objects, database sub-setting, and alerting provide users with the means to securely share information and knowledge across their small workgroup or throughout the intelligence staff community. This, together with the ability to notify other users when key information is available, increases the analytical team's operational efficiency and awareness and reduces the chances of accidental oversight. In addition, IBM i2 iBase offers secure data access capabilities to ensure confidence that sensitive information is only available to users with a need-to-know. Accountability and traceability features are intrinsic to IBM i2 iBase for complete assuredness over user and data governance.

Configurable off the shelf application

IBM i2 iBase has a highly flexible and configurable data model and security layer that can be based upon either Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server technologies. Users with little technical expertise can create and manage a schema dependant on their organization's needs through an intuitive designer interface.

Authorized User

Authorized User is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. An Authorized User is a unique person who is given access to the program. The program may be installed on any number of computers or servers and each Authorized User may have simultaneous access to any number of instances of the program at one time. Licensee must obtain separate, dedicated entitlements for each Authorized User accessing the program in any manner directly or indirectly (for example, via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means. An entitlement for an Authorized User is unique to that Authorized User and may not be shared, nor may it be reassigned other than for the permanent transfer of the Authorized User entitlement to another person.

Note: Some programs may be licensed where devices are considered users. In that case, the following applies. Any computing device that requests the execution of or receives for execution a set of commands, procedures, or applications from the program or that is otherwise managed by the program is considered a separate user of the program and requires an entitlement as if that device were a person.

Concurrent User

Concurrent User is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. A Concurrent User is a person who is accessing the program at any particular point in time. Regardless of whether the person is simultaneously accessing the program multiple times, the person counts only as a single Concurrent User. The program may be installed on any number of computers or servers, but licensee must obtain entitlements for the maximum number of Concurrent Users simultaneously accessing the program. Licensee must obtain an entitlement for each simultaneous Concurrent User accessing the program in any manner directly or indirectly (for example, via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means.

Terms and conditions

The information provided in this announcement letter is for reference and convenience purposes only. The terms and conditions that govern any transaction with IBM are contained in the applicable contract documents such as the IBM International Program License Agreement, IBM International Passport Advantage Agreement, and the IBM Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance.

This product is only available via Passport Advantage. It is not available as shrinkwrap.

Licensing

IBM International Program License Agreement including the License Information document and Proof of Entitlement (PoE) govern your use of the program. PoEs are required for all authorized use. Part number products only, offered outside of Passport Advantage, where applicable, are license only and do not include Software Maintenance.

This software license includes Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance).

These programs are licensed under the IBM Program License Agreement (IPLA) and the associated Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance, which provide for support with ongoing access to releases and versions of the program. IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) with the initial license acquisition of each program acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available. These programs have a one-time license charge for use of the program and an annual renewable charge for the enhanced support that includes telephone assistance (voice support for defects during normal business hours), as well as access to updates, releases, and versions of the program as long as support is in effect.

The programs' License Information will be available for review on the IBM Software License Agreement website

Limited warranty applies

Yes

Limited warranty

IBM warrants that when the program is used in the specified operating environment, it will conform to its specifications. The warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the program. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the program or that IBM will correct all program defects. You are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the program.

IBM provides you with access to IBM databases containing information about known program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no additional charge. For further information, consult the IBM Software Support Handbook found at

: http://www.ibm.com/support/handbook

IBM will maintain this information for at least one year after the original licensee acquires the program (warranty period).

Program technical support

Technical support of a program product version or release will be available for a minimum of five years from the general availability date, as long as your Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) is in effect. This technical support allows you to obtain assistance (via telephone or electronic means) from IBM for product-specific, task-oriented questions regarding the installation and operation of the program product. Software Subscription and Support (Software Maintenance) also provides you with access to updates (modifications or fixes), releases, and versions of the program. You will be notified, via announcement letter, of discontinuance of support with 12 months' notice. If you require additional technical support from IBM, including an extension of support beyond the discontinuance date, contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner. This extension may be available for a fee.

Money-back guarantee

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program and you are the original licensee, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.

For clarification, note that (1) for programs acquired under the IBM International Passport Advantage offering, this term applies only to your first acquisition of the program and (2) for programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) software offerings, this term does not apply since these offerings apply to programs already acquired and in use by you.

Volume orders (IVO)

Passport Advantage applies

Yes, and through the Passport Advantage website at

: http://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage

Software Subscription and Support applies

Yes. Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) is included with licenses purchased through Passport Advantage and Passport Advantage Express. Product upgrades and Technical Support are provided by the Software Subscription and Support offering as described in the Agreements. Product upgrades provide the latest versions and releases to entitled software and Technical Support provides voice and electronic access to IBM support organizations, worldwide.

IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support with each program license acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available.

While your Software Subscription and Support is in effect, IBM provides you assistance for your routine, short duration installation and usage (how-to) questions. IBM provides assistance via telephone and, if available, electronic access, only to your information systems (IS) technical support personnel during the normal business hours (published prime shift hours) of your IBM support center. (This assistance is not available to your end users.) IBM provides Severity 1 assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For additional details, consult your IBM Software Support Handbook at

: http://www.ibm.com/support/handbook

Software Subscription and Support does not include assistance for the design and development of applications, your use of programs in other than their specified operating environment, or failures caused by products for which IBM is not responsible under the applicable agreements.

Statement of good security practices

IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.

IBM Electronic Services

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
