Challenge and Solution:

Counter-terrorism analysts needed an application to compile and analyze HUMINT – intelligence that comes from human sources – with an end goal of generating actionable information. THREADS was the proposed application, and its developers set out to find the best database management solutions for the complex task.

The Objectivity/DB Solution:

Having already used Objectivity/DB to create ASA, a similar intelligence tool, the developers knew from first-hand experience that Objectivity/DB allowed them faster development and proven scalability, among other advantages. Nonetheless, they created a performance study, pitting Objectivity/DB against a leading relational database management system (RDBMS).

The databases were tested for speed and accuracy in data insertion, messaging, EEIs and deep queries. In every test, Objectivity/DB matched or beat the RDBMS. In deep queries, Objectivity/DB was 25 times faster. Objectivity/DB was the clear choice for the THREADS project.
