| The Future of Corporate Intelligence
It wasn't always so, for when corporate intelligence was a part of sales and marketing, and utilized the field sales and service force the results were impressive. In the government sector when OSINT was a part of the broadcast services , such as FBIS and the BBC it provided a valuable insight into the thinking of overseas markets and political thinking. Today we are exploring the fusion between OSINT, sales and social media to bring trends and actionable intellinge directly to the user in the field. Intelligence Software
We have begun another comprehensive review of all the intel software packages available. As more and more companies, professional organizations and government agencies start their own Open Source or classified intelligence centers, and departments the choice of software becomes of vital importance. The interface between the collectors, analysts and audience has to be carefully considered when choosing the right suite, or mix of programs. Remember just because the government, CIA or NSA uses the software does not make it a success. They fail more often than they succeed. That option just isn't there for commercial enterprises. The total failures of the many companies in the Financial Sector should be a wake up call for everyone to examine their intelligence departments, and ask why they were not watching the marketplace. Collecting data for collections sake is no use to anyone, it just clogs up the system with noise. |
