Predictive Analytics

• Where is an event most likely to occur?
• Where is the greatest risk and opportunity?
• How should I best deploy my resources?

When your success depends on how you answer critical questions about future events, Signature Analyst is the solution. As the world's most advanced geospatial predictive analytics tool, Signature Analyst provides the unique insights and actionable intelligence you need to make high-confidence decisions about future events, and more effectively allocate resources.

Intelligence analysts and military planners rely on Signature Analyst to track high-value targets and to support counter-terrorism missions across the globe. Petroleum and mining companies use Signature Analyst to help search for new mineral deposits and untapped reserves. From law enforcement to natural resources, decision-makers and planners apply the power of Signature Analyst to identify areas of new opportunities and risk.

Superior method for predicting events

What makes Signature Analyst so advanced? Signature Analyst uses unique, patented scientific methodologies that allow analysts to understand events and their relationship to the social, cultural and physical environment. Unlike traditional techniques, which rely heavily on assumptions, this purely empirical, statistical approach helps eliminate potential human error and bias.

Signature Analyst automates the traditional process, providing faster and more accurate decisions. Once the relationship between events and hundreds of factors is understood, Signature Analyst generates a spatial assessment to identify areas where future events are most likely to occur. The result is a geospatial hot-spot map where brighter or hotter colors represent areas where resources should be focused.

Unique insights to enhance decision-making

With this powerful geospatial predictive analytic intelligence, you can discern which factors help influence events and make critical decisions about where to focus and allocate your resources. For example, you can use Signature Analyst to:

• Reduce the target area of interest
• Identify highest probability locations
• Focus action plans to manipulate factors that influence events or behaviors
• Support decision-making with statistical modeling
• Recognize patterns and influence them
• Discover hidden relationships among threat and target
• Understand factors that attract or repel events or behaviors

Rapid decisions and improved productivity

In today's fast-paced, ever-evolving world, speed is vital. Signature Analyst delivers by streamlining advanced geo-processing tasks used to perform site selection, risk assessments and resource allocation. Analysts improve their effectiveness and efficiency, decision-makers solve complex problems and make informed decisions quickly, and organizations improve their overall productivity.

ArcGIS Integration

Signature Analyst is available as a stand-alone client or as an extension to ESRI's ArcGIS desktop products. ArcGIS provides a variety of capabilities in GIS, cartography, and visualization to enable high-quality map production. Signature Analyst extends ArcGIS by providing advanced spatial statistics and modeling.
