Agent Logic Enterprise Agent Server Event Detection and Response Software Identified for Applicability to Intelligence Community Needs

November 14, 2003
Arlington, VA

Agent  Logic, the leading provider of enterprise event detection and response  software, today announced that In-Q-Tel, a private independent technology  investment group funded by the CIA, has signed a strategic partnership and  license agreement with Agent Logic. This  deal highlights the promise of Agent Logic's Enterprise Agent Server (EAS) to  address Intelligence Community needs to detect and respond to changes and  events across disparate databases and applications.

Agent  Logic's EAS software is an agent-based event server that instantly,  automatically and intelligently takes action based on user requests or  important changes in data across an enterprise's information systems. The EAS  enables organizations to deploy event detection and response capabilities as a  universal enterprise resource that can be tapped on demand, rather than having  to custom code similar capabilities into individual applications. Agent Logic's universal approach results in  better maintainability and provides end users with event detection and response  services that span multiple systems in extremely rapid timeframes.

"Imagine  having multiple electronic personal assistants working on your behalf ‚Äî  performing tedious tasks such as automatically watching multiple databases for  new information related to your area of interest or checking a project  management system every 5 minutes to make sure a critical activity is on  schedule," said Michael Appelbaum, CEO of Agent Logic. "Agent Logic  makes these capabilities possible across existing information systems, allowing  everyone from analysts to managers to re-focus their efforts on immediate  business goals while remaining confident that they will be notified of  important events and, where appropriate, have actions taken automatically."

The  core of Agent Logic's EAS software has been in development since 1998, and is  used today by numerous Fortune 500 and government customers. In-Q-Tel put Agent  Logic's EAS software through an intensive hands-on technical testing and due  diligence process in order to validate its capabilities before concluding this  strategic deal.

"Agent  Logic is an important addition to our strategic investment portfolio. EAS has  direct applications for addressing the most daunting problems the Intelligence  Community faces today for information sharing and data monitoring across  existing information systems," said Gilman Louie, CEO of In-Q-Tel.  "EAS has a unique ability to rapidly deliver event detection and response  functionality across the broad spectrum of IT. The EAS can radically enhance  the way any organization -- commercial or government -- accesses and responds to  important information. It can provide end users with new capabilities on top of  their existing systems in literally hours.  With Agent Logic, the days of building custom solutions for event  detection and response are over."
