Purple ICE (Integrated Computing Environment) is an enterprise knowledge discovery framework capable of supporting inter-agency information sharing within the counter intelligence and law enforcement communities. It is the backbone support facility for functional needs (data acquisition, analysis, dissemination and protection) as dictated by the challenges of information sharing within a secure environment while protecting the information and its owners. Purple ICE is a premier platform – a horizontal integration of capability supported by open architectures in a secure environment.

Purple ICE offers five key focal areas:

• Information sharing process management
• Inter-agency data exchange and information management
• Advanced and modular analytical capabilities
• Fully open, vertically oriented services based architecture
• Built to minimize the cost of administration

The platform is modular to fit the needs of individual clients and provides custom sets of attributes that can be activated for each client. Rather than making your business processes fit the software, Purple ICE is tailored to your needs. Most customizing is performed via configuration files, reducing custom code development costs.
