DIA and JackBe – Project Overwatch

• Problem• Laborious intelligence gathering and

sharing process, requiring use of multiple ‘stove-pipe’ all-source applications.

• Solution• Project ‘Overwatch’, Ajax-based

enterprise information portal, designed to empower end users to quickly paint a picture of situational awareness across various intelligence data sources, using a paradigm of drag-and-drop and bookmarking of the resulting briefing in a private workspace for future use and sharing.

• Benefits• Rapid solution development and

deployment, avoiding lengthy desktop certification processes.

“The use of Ajax for such a complex and critical application within the DIA is a big win for JackBe

and a strong endorsement of Ajax in general. It proves the enterprise-grade capabilities of both JackBe’s tools and consulting capabilities as the

company works to deliver similar rich, interactive front-ends to the data assets of other intelligence

agencies.”- Ron Schmelzer
