Velocity for Government
Defense
From logistics and readiness to war fighting strategy and battlefield intelligence, the 21st century military relies on information to achieve its mission. As with all large enterprises, each defense organization finds itself facing the need to access information spread across multiple silos which may include up-to-the-minute real-time data, regulations, “lessons learned,” weapon systems documentation and more. Special challenges faced by the military include the need to achieve a common view across separate SIGINT, HUMINT, and IMINT collections, as well as the so-called “asymmetrical” threat of non-state adversaries such as terrorist organizations. Add to this the threat of cyber attacks on increasingly network-dependent defense operations, and the need to fuse information from multiple sources and respond quickly to any situation becomes critical.
Velocity, Vivisimo's Information Optimization Platform, provides critical mission support by securely unifying disparate data across multiple silos in a single point of access. With accurate information at their fingertips, commanders at all levels, as well as field-level personnel, have access to the necessary information and situation understanding to make the right decisions at the right time in support of both planning and execution. In addition, Velocity enables collaboration and information sharing by allowing users to comment or tag information to identify best practices and to highlight important information that is most relevant to their colleagues. This level of collaboration enables personnel to interact, inform, and advise each other as they jointly develop best solutions to challenges.
