Geospatial Intelligence – Location-Based Analysis
What is Geospatial Intelligence?
Geospatial Intelligence, or GEOINT, is information gathered about a person or group based on their physical location. It is often visually depicted so users can quickly see relationships and context for proactive response. In today’s world, finding the physical location of anyone is quite simple with the help of GPS. Our mobile devices ensure we are never truly out of reach. Organizations can use geospatial technology to locate people in a user-specified area, giving them ground-level insight into activity happening in that location.
The value of geospatial intelligence is that it adds necessary detail researchers and organizations require for in-depth analysis. With the context of location and time, users can better understand the actions of their audience, whether it be customers, prospects, competition or even suspects. Geospatial intelligence is often the missing piece of data users need to make better strategic decisions because it not only answers the what, but it reveals the where and when.

Geospatial Intelligence Has Its Benefits:
- Quickly find what you’re looking for: Refining search results based on the physical location of the subject saves valuable time and resources that can be spent analyzing the relevant data instead of finding it.
- See your results: Visualizing geospatial intelligence makes identifying patterns, networks and context simpler and faster so actions can be calculated and proactive.
- Make more informed decisions: With the added layer of geospatial detail, stakeholders can be confident in their decisions and drive more targeted engagements.
