Operational Impact
The implementation of IBM Watson Explorer has significantly improved the operational efficiency of REDE-LAB. The solution has automated complex data mining processes, enabling investigators to accelerate their work dramatically. The time taken to identify illicit assets has been significantly reduced, allowing investigators to move faster than the criminals they are investigating. The solution has also enabled the laboratories to handle both structured and unstructured data, which has been a significant challenge in the past. The ability to perform keyword and semantic searches, regardless of the format of the underlying data, has been a major operational benefit. Furthermore, the use of ontologies has improved the precision and relevance of the investigations. | |
Quantitative Benefit
