VisuaLinks® Product Summary
Collaboration
VisuaLinks was developed with the concepts of information sharing and collaboration in mind. Knowing that collaboration between groups, divisions, organizations and agencies is the single best way to ensure that information is current and accurate, Visual Analytics built VisuaLinks as an analytical environment scalable and flexible enough to enable inter- and intra-organizational collaboration.
With its Server-to-Server capabilities, data and analysis storage/distribution features and real-time collaboration tools, VisuaLinks is specifically designed to not only support, but encourage, analytical teamwork.
Presentation
VisuaLinks is a turn-key solution, supporting the entire analytical process, from integration and access to presentation and reporting.
VisuaLinks includes the tools you need to create a finished analysis product, whether you need to generate a formal report or a simple presentation slide.
VisuaLinks has a built-in reporting system that generates standard reports, in a number of formats, from your analysis. VisuaLinks is also fully integrated with the Eclipse Business Intelligence & Reporting Tools (BIRT) allowing you to create and generate custom reports specific to your analytical needs.
Additionally, VisuaLinks includes features that let you create a visual presentation of your analysis, such as drawing, labeling, legend and image import features. These features are designed to give users the ability to call out specific items of interest or simply create a stylish presentation of the data.

System Resources
VisuaLinks was built from the ground up to require a minimum of system and personnel resources for daily operation. Administrative personnel are required only to manage users and data source connections. The system itself requires no daily maintenance. With automatic backup scheduling and full audit logging capabilities, VisuaLinks requires little to no human supervision in normal operating environments.
VisuaLinks is built in Java, providing for cross-platform support. VisuaLinks has been deployed on a wide range of hardware, including Windows®, HP-UX®, Linux®, Solaris™, and AIX® systems. The Server and Client components can reside and operate on different operating system platforms. The system uses open standards requiring no proprietary software to operate.
About Visual Analytics Inc.
In 1998, Visual Analytics Inc. (VAI) founders and executive team 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.

Data Clarity® couples both the VisuaLinks and DIG technologies providing a more comprehensive approach for accessing and analyzing data.
The technologies created by VAI are scalable 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. 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.
