Crime and Intelligence Analyst Deborah Osborne Joins IxReveal Board of AdvisorsJacksonville, FL (October 5, 2007)IxReveal™, a business intelligence leader in text analytics for unstructured and structured data, announced today the appointment of Deborah Osborne to its Board of Advisors. Ms. Osborne is an internationally recognized expert in the development and improvement of crime and intelligence analysis in national, state, and local governments. The announcement followed the recent appointments of Alan Wade, former CIO of the CIA, and security affairs strategist Susan Eisenhower to the board."Deborah Osborne is a thought leader in the analyst community," noted IxReveal Executive Vice President Kent Steen. "She is an ideal match for IxReveal," he added, "due to her extraordinary ability to bridge conceptual gaps between analysts who support police on the streets and intelligence community analysts at every level." Also, Steen said, "We share a common mission – and successful track records – in bridging jurisdictional and technological divides to build effective means for timely collaboration. Our success is reflected," he pointed out, "by the recent decision of the Broward Sheriff’s Office to become the newest law enforcement agency to adopt IxReveal technology." "The potential of IxReveal is clear to me," Osborne stated, as "it will transform the capacity of law enforcement and homeland security agencies to more effectively analyze data and promote collaboration with fewer security risks." IxReveal "will be the mining tool that turns data into gold," she added, "by generating relevant insights and collaboration, rather than simply creating more work." Ms. Osborne’s recent experience includes service as Co-Chair of the Certification and Skill Set Committees of the International Association of Crime Analysts and as a Research Fellow at the Center for Strategic Intelligence Research of the Joint Military Intelligence College of the Defense Intelligence Agency. For the past decade, she has served as a crime analyst for the Buffalo Police Department where she developed and implemented the crime analyst function in the second largest city in New York State. Ms. Osborne also is President of the Society of Police Futurists International and a member of FBI/PFI Futures Group, the Global Task Force for the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology, the International Association for Intelligence Education, and the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts. She also is on the Counterterrorism Advisory Board of the Lifeboat Foundation. Her publications include books entitled Out of Bounds: Innovation and Change in Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysis and Crime Analysis: Basic Resources for Criminal Justice Practice. She develops and teaches upper-level courses on crime and intelligence analysis and provides training to analysts, investigators and officers.
