Managing the intelligence process efficiently is a key challenge for
intelligence professionals. Many types of IT tools have been developed to tackle this challenge and recently SharePoint™ has emerged as a player in the field. Since SharePoint is not an MI application by itself, however, it is not an optimal solution to manage the intelligence process. Often, the optimal solution is to use a true MI application - such as GIA’s Intelligence Plaza^® - for managing the intelligence process and then leverage SharePoint’s capabilities to reach a broader audience or specific business processes.
