"We are excited to be working with Visual Analytics as we pursue our best- of-breed technology integration strategy with the objective to provide the most advanced Early Warning systems with superior interoperability," said Mario Girard, Chairman and CEO of Nstein Technologies. "We expect to accelerate our market penetration in the USA and abroad with a complete, unique and perfectly tailored technology solution for Homeland Security & Intelligence organizations." The partnership offers analysts, law enforcement, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorism professionals a platform that can analyze unstructured data in all major languages. The platform also represents the only solution that will include visual rendering and link analysis coupled with Nstein's market-proven advanced analytics and automated translation technology in all major languages. "Our products and services compliment each other well in the advanced analytics space," said Chris Westphal, Chief Executive Officer of Visual Analytics. "This synergy will allow us to increase our market share by providing an immediate and critical solution to key customers and prospects in this space. We look forward to working with Nstein and integrating our best- of-breed technologies to address critical needs within the industry." VAI's next-generation technologies allow organizations to keep control and oversight of their data while at the same time securely sharing their data with other organizations or agencies. These tools also remove the need for data to be translated into a central repository, effectively creating a virtual data warehouse, which saves organizations an enormous amount of time and money and guarantees the most up-to-date and accurate information. Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will engage in co-marketing and sales initiatives.
