Before BI
Inundated

with data in different

systems
Silos of data made it cumbersome,
labor-intensive, and timeconsuming to get information
Reports had to be created for every
request, and by the time the reports
were created, the data was old

A More Proactive Approach

Accurate,

Timely and Targeted

Data is the key for making good
decisions at each point in the
chain of command
Users must be able to effectively
access data across multiple
systems, analyze it, and deliver
actionable intelligence

A More Proactive Approach

Allows

agencies to increase service,

and effectiveness of police work while
dealing with budget cuts, officer
safety, and demands of public
oversight
The challenge is to collect and deliver
information quickly and efficiently to
those who need it, in a format they
can use to make actionable decisions

A More Proactive Approach

The

solution should deliver realtime, or near real-time,

information in a flexible
environment where different
users can view it in a way that
helps them effectively perform
their jobs

Visualize data using the

four critical elements
for smarter decisions:

Data integrity
Performance management
Business intelligence
Advanced analytics.
