Engility unveils MetaSift

On April 23, Engility Holdings, Inc. of Chantilly, VA unveiled MetaSift, a data analytics integration platform developed specifically to help the intelligence and defense communities better find actionable information in huge amounts of data. The company debuted MetaSift to leaders of the geospatial intelligence community at the GEOINT Symposium in Tampa, FL.

“Every day human analysts in the intelligence community and Department of Defense sift through enough data to fill the Library of Congress,” said Lynn Dugle, Engility chairman and CEO. “MetaSift is designed to meet the needs of agencies in analyzing, processing and managing large data sets, and then turning that into usable information. We address our customers’ specific missions, systems and infrastructure rather than providing them a one-size-fits-all proprietary solution.”

Human analysts often examine thousands of data “haystacks” to find one “needle” of key information. The data is typically spread through immense amounts and various types of data across multiple, unstructured formats, such as removable media, large network shares and complex databases.

Engility developed MetaSift to handle those challenges and more. The platform gives intelligence analysts automated content management processes and the means to identify information linkages not readily apparent to human users. Built on an open architecture, the platform uses source-agnostic tools to ingest, manage and quickly retrieve data.
