Visual Analytics Inc. (VAI) is a veteran-owned, privately-held company based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area providing proactive analytical, decision support, and information sharing solutions in commercial and government marketplaces throughout the world for investigating money laundering, financial crimes, narcotics, terrorism, border security, embezzlement, and fraud.

In 1998, Visual Analytics founders and executive team, Christopher Westphal, David O'Connor and Bennett McPhatter saw a significant need within the intelligence, law enforcement and commercial communities to find better ways to access, share, analyze, and report on their data. Today, VAI's tools are delivering unprecedented results to the analytical community and satisfying their need for better, faster, and cheaper alternatives for data analysis and investigative support.

VAI offers some of the most powerful and adaptable systems available in the marketplace for supporting enterprise-level information sharing and analytics. VisuaLinks is the premier analytical tool for "connecting the dots" by extracting and visually analyzing data to uncover patterns, associations, networks, trends and anomalies in data. Digital Information Gateway (DIG) is an advanced information retrieval system designed for information sharing using data from virtually any number and type of databases, web sites, e-mails and documents simultaneously. The Data Clarity Suite (VisuaLinks/DIG) couples both technologies providing a more comprehensive approach for accessing and analyzing data.

The technologies created by VAI are scaleable to large numbers of users while operating across multiple volumes of data. VAI's software and industry-leading analytical capabilities are its core market discriminators and when comparing system-to-system components, attributes, benefits, and costs, there is no single competitor in the marketplace with an equal breadth of capability.

The global demand for VAI's products drove them to internationalize early on with growing markets in Asia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East. The VAI advantage lies in its innate ability to address unique customer needs by delivering high quality products for reasonable prices. The requirements for better analytics and information sharing systems are expanding rapidly and VAI will continue to fulfill this insatiable demand while adapting the technology to address future requirements.
