Social, semantic technologies will change the game.
The statement “knowledge is power” has never been more relevant. Knowledge is what powers the mission. It’s what helps analysts do their jobs. And it’s the lifeblood of the intelligence community.
However, today’s intel agencies face high turnover, and losing people means losing knowledge. It is often a lengthy process to fill these vacancies. But even for those agencies not plagued by staffing shortages, there are issues of collaboration. Knowledge often sits in disparate silos or is buried in unique documents. These disconnects make it nearly impossible to locate information, identify a topic’s expert or discover synergies.
With the help of social, semantic technologies, intelligence agencies can connect people to people—and people to content—to unleash the full power of knowledge.
Social, semantic technologies are fueling a new era of collaboration. For many years, agencies have implemented enterprise-wide systems to tap into, extract and package employee intelligence. Yet many of these efforts have failed to meet expectations.
