T B.4: Speed and Efficiency
Provide tools to increase the speed and efficiency of data use. Other Information:
Improving the tools for data access is an increasingly critical requirement. Advances in the ability to collect and store
text, graphics, audio, and video data have resulted in a tremendous amount of information which outstrips the human ability
for processing. Concomitant tools must be used to parse, analyze, and meaningfully report the available data. Many such tools
are currently available throughout the FBI, but they need to be provided more consistently. The data tools industry is constantly
enhancing its offerings, providing real opportunities to improve the speed and accuracy of obtaining results. These advances
will become increasingly important as the FBI, in addressing rapidly developing threats, works to prevent events before they
occur rather than solving them after they occur. Priority Actions: Ensure all virtually linked data can be accessed by tools
which allow for analysis, visualization, and reporting of text, graphics, video, and audio data. Consolidate efforts in developing
analytical tools and provide this capability across-the-board. Revise plans to take advantage of newer, more effective and
efficient technologies as they are made available. Deliver additional tools which enable investigators and analysts to triage,
exploit, and share intelligence and other information collected via electronic means.
