Solutions
By connecting disparate information and big data to close the investigative loop, Point Duty’s solutions enable you to be the first to know and the first to act.
Increased pressure to deliver results in less time – but with reduced resources and budgets.
Creating reports and deriving meaningful, actionable intelligence while grappling with these issues is no easy task.
The key pain points of big data
For every case, analysts receive multiple unstructured and structured pieces of data. It then needs to be processed in a way that extracts key data such as Entities, Links and Properties (ELP) – essential for enabling the investigation to pivot rapidly through the data to conduct visual and geospatial analysis.
Analysts must overcome issues such as:
- Data management
- Storage and retrieval of data stored in different formats and on legacy systems
- Information and intelligence sharing
- Manual processing of documents
- Visualizing and presenting information
Leveraging big data to empower analysts
Streamlining the process means bringing on board a centralised database in which to store, access and analyse data with real time connectivity outwards to frequently accessed data sources.
These could include:
- Internal police sources such as criminal or registration databases
- Information gained through subpoenas such as CCTV or phone records
- Open source intelligence (OSINT)
Customised to meet individual needs and requirements

Point Duty Esri Connector for i2 Analyst’s Notebook
Esri are the world’s leading provider of Geospatial Intelligence Solutions (GIS) solutions.
Point Duty has created a connector that links the extensive GIS capabilities of Esri ArcGIS with the power of i2’s visual analysis. This enables the i2-based analyst to leverage key geospatial features to enhance their analysis.
The seamless integration with the i2 Chart enables items to be instantaneously visualised if they have coordinates attached.
- Direct relationship with the chart
- Create shapes
- Create and upload overlays
- Upload and share Geospatial files
- Clustering of events
- Line of site
- Geospatial queries
i2 Analyst’s Notebook – the world’s leading visual analytics tool
- Link analysis: Visualise data in association charts to see relationships between entities such as people and organizations and illustrate how they are interconnected.
- Timeline analysis: Go beyond how entities are interconnected by portraying information in a timeline.
- Statistical views: Use bar charts and histograms to look at the distribution of data in your chart and drill down, concentrating on information that is of interest.
- Heat matrices: Can be used to quickly gain insight into your data and identify areas for further analysis.
- Social network analysis: Help your analysts examine and analyse group structures and communication flows within networks. This powerful capability enables users to better understand relationships between entities on their charts.
- Advanced analytics: Use capabilities such as Find Connecting Network to find a network that connects several entities, directly or indirectly, and List Most Connected to identify most active items, greatest number of connections or largest transactions.
Super charge your investigations by generating pivot points within your documents
