ExplanationForSelectingVendor: ISP has been using Penlink products for over 30-years and currently maintains several million records within the system. Conversion to another system would require extensive retraining of the analytical staff and deny the ISP from using existing data for comparative analysis.
ExplanationSuppliesServices: Penlink Tangles and Cognitive Software will provide ISP with the analytical tools to assist in social media exploitation which allows for the examination of social connections and interactions across multiple social media platforms in relation to criminal activity and public safety matters. The system will provide access to open, deep and dark-web content as well as artificial intelligence to assist in the detection of threats to public safety and other criminal activity. This will also allow ISP the ability to share data with other law enforcement partners and create reports, maps, and charts to aid investigators and prosecutors. Tangles and Cognitive software is also compatible with existing Penlink modules maintained by ISP.
TextField1: Pen-Link is the only vendor that can provide this software.
