Happy New Year…

2004 holds great promise for the world's analytical communities and VAI will be there to help make it happen. VisuaLinks continues to become the standard for many enterprise-level analytical environments throughout the world and DIG further unites remote sites through its ease-of-use data-sharing capabilities. One of the biggest development objectives for 2004 is to tightly integrate both systems thereby maximizing the analytical value to our clients.

Other sneak-peaks for 2004 include new text mining and manipulation capabilities, light-weight deployment, and on-line data sources. VAI is also seeking to build more flexibility into our Application Program Interfaces (APIs). Specifically, VAI is actively seeking to partner with other software vendors, data providers, and integrators to expand the scope and quality of the analyses being performed.

As a first step towards expanding core capabilities, VAI and Language Analysis Systems (LAS) are excited to announce a joint partnership to integrate our respective analytical technologies. Under the agreement, the suite of LAS name matching products will be seamlessly integrated within the VAI Data Clarity Suite (VisuaLinks and DIG). Full integration is expected to occur throughout 2004. To learn more about LAS, read the Press Release or visit www.las-inc.com.

Additionally, VAI will continue to expand our international presence and build on the successes achieved with our partners in Asia, Europe, and South America.

VAI has created the ideal systems for performing internationalized analyses for money laundering, financial crimes, narcotics trafficking, embezzlement, insurance fraud, and terrorism. We are also promoting and delivering information sharing capabilities among cooperating agencies and nations.

As we have always said, our technology is only half the solution; you also need the proper analytical methodologies to pull it all together. During 2004, VAI will emphasize new and novel ways to better understand the necessary analytical processes.

Happy New Year from the Visual Analytics family to yours.

We are still reeling from our successes in 2003 and are already looking forward to exciting opportunities in 2004.

Both VisuaLinks and DIG met with great success in 2003. In very short order, both products will be debuting their newest version to start off 2004. Both tools have numerous new features and we expect them to be greeted with strong enthusiasm from our customer base.

We hope you and yours have all the best in the coming year.

Client Testimonials

"Since September 11th, the Intel Community has been inundated with software vendors claiming 'Best-in-Breed' technology solutions for our mission. Most have been either glorified legacy link charting software or overpriced proprietary monolithic (single-tier) solutions. VAI blew us away. Their technology is based on how our business intelligence model should work. They address the most important issue in the Intel Community: Real-Time Information Sharing (through secured networks and firewalls). Their server-to-server module works via SOAP and will overcome any firewall issues. This saves on both the logistics of trenching a point to point to another agency's data and administering subsets of their data. VAI's solution provides cutting-edge technology integration into the intelligence business model. This is not just a tool; this is a solution."
