The amount of data created and consumed globally has grown exponentially over the last decade and shows no signs of slowing down. Data can come from anywhere and in many formats, including structured data from operational systems or from unstructured sources like sensors. Whether the data is confidential or classified, business or personal, as volumes grow, organisations find their resources stretched thin due to the complexities involved in integrating, securing and deciphering.

Leonardo’s Secure Data Intelligence products and services support the implementation of robust digital foundations to ensure successful and sustainable information advantage. Pulling siloed data together through a full suite of integration and management methods, the solution can be tailored to any suite or combination of digital inputs, to network interconnected devices able to communicate and exchange information, enabling a new level of automation and intelligence.

These are supplemented by a suite of tools to enable and exploit that data into actionable insight. As a result, Leonardo can deliver insight in a flexible manner throughout different stages of data maturity – from networking sensors or databases together to allow for fusion and secure storage, all the way to end-to-end platforms generating insight from petabytes of complex data.

Data Intelligence leverages digital platforms, using analytical tools that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning, to analyse and transform large volumes of raw data into insights, in support of informed and effective decision making. The speed at which this occurs is vital and can provide a huge competitive advantage to an organisation, both tactically and strategically.

The market is rightly demanding modular, scalable and data-centric approaches to solutions that derive information from their data. Leonardo’s products synergically address this across all levels of operations, in multi-domain, multi-classification and multi-dimension contexts.

Turning data into actionable information is not an easy journey; the volumes and ranging quality of datasets make it challenging to cope with the ever-growing aspect of it. However, to truly leverage data, groundwork must be undertaken and the correct digital foundations laid, otherwise successful and sustainable information advantage will be impossible.
