AMI Enterprise Intelligence is a modular solution made up of independent applications which communicate via a common platform called the AMI E.I.  Base Server. The applications are easily integrated to form a complete functional chain that is easily adapted to the precise needs of each user.

The principal applications are as follows :

	Automated data collection from selected sources at programmable frequency with interface for rules generation and administration of data sources. Dating, sorting, classification, alert generation, and de-duplication of information.
	Multi-source, Multi criteria Search (internal, external, visible or invisible Web) with interrogation in free text and metadata. Extraction of quotations and tools for navigation. Clusterisation and categorisation of results. Extraction of named entities.
	Manage document selection, authorisation, enrichment and organisation of collected information for provision of use within working groups. Drafting of reports/ratios and workflow management tools. Ability to add Confidence and Relevance markers.
	Consultation Portal, search and share information organised by groups and themes with access rights based on preset profiles. Search engine integration (e.g. "AMI Search"), navigation via a classification plan or metadata.
	Analysis and charting of a body of textual information according to various criteria (time, source…) with description of tendencies. Detection of “hard to find” information, identification and analysis of correlated information. Automatic extraction of named entities (names, locations, organisations, general concepts…)
	Instantly create and submit a document or memo directly to the knowledgebase for automatic inclusion in any process of analysis and cross-referencing of metadata or associated files already held within AMI. The function is particularly useful as a way of quickly recording “unpublished” intelligence, for example, information gathered as a result of a meeting or conversation. Notes can be created from scratch or as an addition to an existing internal or external document.
	Creation of personalised dashboards adapted to each user presenting information, documents, alerts, and graphic analysis based on user defined areas of interest. MyAMI also provides a range of personalised research tools such as intelligent search across individual selections of user specific sources.

The Administration interface allows the user to :

• Define user profiles (5 levels)
• Manage dictionaries and linguistic applications
• Manage source libraries and the methods of connection.
• Configure each application

Benefiting from a modular and evolutionary architecture, our Research & Development Centre is continuously developing new applications and delivering, on time, against an ambitious forward looking product roadmap.
