ALAMEDA, Calif. and CONWAY, N.H., June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Bi3 Solutions, a full-service provider of end-to-end Collaborative Performance Management solutions and Rapid Insight Inc., a leading provider of data mining and predictive modeling software and solutions today announced that both companies have combined their expertise to create and deliver an analytics solution for law enforcement criminal data. The solution, Rapid Insight(R) Analytics, enables non-technical personnel to use their historical criminal data, regardless of the source, to uncover behavior patterns, which is essential intelligence required to improve crime prevention efforts and crime rates.

Offered as part of Bi3 Solutions' Collaborative Performance Management offering, which helps public sector organizations to meet their strategic objectives, Rapid Insight(R) Analytics was designed for the specific and unique needs of law enforcement agencies. The cost-effective software enables personnel without information technology or statistics skills to gain immediate and simple results that will enable them to act quickly. It automates significant portions of the data collection and mining processes, finding relationships in data and presenting them graphically. As part of the solution, the resulting reports, statistical backup and graphical visualizations, can then be integrated into a web based Performance Management platform for distribution to appropriate audiences, both internally and externally. Law enforcement agencies such as the New York Police Department have already realized the return on investment that greater data intelligence gained from using Rapid Insight(R) Analytics can deliver.

"Over the years we have evaluated a number of predictive data analytics solutions, but they were costly, required specially trained personnel, and too much IT support," said Greg Hatfield, President & CEO of Bi3 Solutions. "The beauty of what we found in Rapid Insight and are now offering in our joint solution is the simplicity, easy-to-use software that quickly generates impactful results for an immediate return on investment. We look forward to partnering with agencies throughout the United States to reduce their crime rates."

"The combination of our expertise in data intelligence and Bi3 Solutions' experience in performance management and the public sector, has created a perfect marriage that truly benefits the customer and ultimately, the public," said Mike Laracy, President & CEO of Rapid Insight Inc. "We are enthusiastic about this venture."
