New US system offers intelligence capability
Future Point Systems recently awarded Suritec the sole distribution rights of the Starlight Information Visualization System (Starlight) in South Africa. Future Point Systems was founded in 2006 in partnership with Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) as a private commercial enterprise to develop and market Starlight VIS (Visual Information System).
Capitalizing on millions of dollars of government-funded R&D, the system is a next generation strategic visual analytics tool that has been developed by PNNL for US government, military and intelligence agencies over the past 10 years. It has now been adapted for use in the corporate world.
Exciting prospects
"The system opens exciting prospects in visualisation technology by uncovering key relationships hidden in large, complex, dynamic information collections. It will save companies many hours of analysis, and accelerate the decision-making process. We expect it to create a buzz with its relative ease of use and efficient application," says Dr. Herman van Niekerk, director of Suritec.
"The key to problem solving is to capture data in meaningful and logical ways, interpret and analyse it, understand the relationships in the data, sort the wheat from the chaff and then present it in intuitive graphical forms which assist the human mind to comprehend it all in one visual picture" van Niekerk continues.
It is the ideal application for organisations that need to analyse large volumes of data on an ongoing basis, including financial services, healthcare, the insurance industry, retail and wholesale, security, audit and legal firms, and government and state-owned enterprises.
