Investment Detail
The net benefits of the EDAP investment will include:
Breaking down current data silos, creating one unified ingest process with common enrichments, security, and compliance
Enabling FBI agents and intelligence analysts to be more efficient and effective through the use of a single data lake to connect the dots with powerful analytics
Making the FBI IT enterprise more efficient by supporting the continued retirement of some legacy data systems and reducing the development overhead for applications through utilizing the data within Prometheus.
Typically, based on current FBI application development costs, a majority of those costs are toward data storage, ingest, and infrastructure. Every time an application has to be developed, they take on this overhead cost. Through the Prometheus modernization effort, these costs can be re-invested as the data platform will handle the storage, ingest, security, and compliance in a common way, allowing applications to consume Prometheus services to develop their application. Additionally, through utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other data science techniques, Prometheus will reduce the time to create actionable insights for FBI agents and intelligence analysts. Instead of analysts taking days to manually read through unstructured data, this can be automated to extract important content in a matter of minutes.
