Memex Autochart

Link analysis is one of the most commonly used analytical tools in criminal intelligence and investigations today. Analysts use it to identify and understand relationships between people, places and events, thereby pinpointing intelligence which can be used to identify, predict and respond to threats. Most link analysis tools focus on presenting structured data, not lending themselves to the analysis of that data, particularly where it comes from multiple sources, in multiple formats.

Where Memex Analyst’s Autochart module comes to the fore is the way it effectively “bridges the gap” between raw data and the resulting link chart by enabling the analyst to quickly identify entity phrases of potential interest, and the relationships between them. All information is displayed graphically, so the analyst can then “mine” and interrogate the databases directly from the link chart.

Furthermore, the use of simple queries to import data automatically ensures the resources required to perform link analysis are minimal. Where most link analysis tools require data to be entered into a specifically formatted database before it can be included in the analysis, Memex Analyst’s Autochart module allows you to query multiple databases, all with different structures, merge the results, and then chart the relationships between the entities that exist within the data.

In summary, Memex Analyst’s Autochart module automates the entire process of creating a relationship chart to pinpoint valuable intelligence. Analysts can select a set of records to be analysed, identify and modify the entities for which links are required, create a link chart and then “mine” the source databases to gain deeper intelligence around the relationships found. Autochart is even fully Microsoft Office compatible, so your resulting link chart can be quickly copied into Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and more, allowing you to communicate your intelligence to the people who need it.
