Has the past 15 years of collecting data left you with a large mass of data? Are you leveraging this data to improve your business decisions and processes? ManTech has spent the last six years working with the tools and technologies that help customers turn previously unrelated pieces of data into a mosaic of knowledge that provides additional insight into business related issues. The picture created by the mosaic can be used to discover targets for additional investigation, highlight inconsistencies, point to areas of improvement, or validate business decisions. The process is started by enabling the intelligent user to create a picture or report that enables them to focuses their attention on the most relevant data or discover a relationship that was previously unknown. The algorithms used by the intelligent user are then automated so that they can be used to turn the individual data "tiles" into a mosaic of knowledge that presents a snapshot of key information surrounding a particular business problem or process.

Regardless of your data content or format, ManTech can effectively extract, transform, and load your data into your data warehouse or document management system. This allows for systematic data mining and the development of relationships between previously unrelated data sets. If you don't have a data warehouse or document management system, ManTech has the experience to build you a cost effective one based upon major vendor solutions.

ManTech then integrates and applies best of breed tools to your business practices in order to help you visualize, analyze, correlate, mine, and ultimately uncover the data mosaic from your disparate data sets. Tools include search engines, link analysis tools, geographic information systems (GIS), on-line analytical processing (OLAP) tools, statistical analysis tools, and ad hoc query/report tools.

Aside from the traditional custom desktop solutions, ManTech can also help you develop and integrate tools that take advantage of Internet technologies (browser, e-mail, and collaboration tools) to provide standards based, secure, platform independent methods of visualizing your data. This combined with ManTech’s "rapid prototyping" approach allows for the quick, incremental delivery of capabilities in order to get the tools in the hands of the end user as quickly as possible. Then, the end users can feedback to the development team ideas for additional capabilities, data sets, or relationships without becoming a slave to a long development cycle.

ManTech maximizes the return on investment by leveraging the integration of commercial off-the-shelf tools with development expertise in J2EE, .NET, XML/XSL, C/C++/C#, and various scripting languages. These skills, combined with knowledge of specific business problems and processes, allow ManTech to create a data mosaic that provides new insight into existing data.

ManTech SMA’s Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) center is unique in its ability to design and field revolutionary decision support systems that dramatically improve decision making performance of the human-computer team. Cognitive systems engineering is a principle-driven approach to designing high-performance decision making teams. The ManTech SMA CSE team applies cognitive systems engineering in three critical areas:

A) The modeling of critical relationships and decisions in the context of domain complexities and demands.
B) The design and implementation of computerized support to improve users' ability to visualize the problem, evaluate courses of action, and execute the best possible solution.
C) The evaluation of the impact of new technology on users' decision making and problem solving performance.
