How Factal accelerates your response (and reduces your stress level)
Before Factal, you had a choice. You could act
instantly on unverified information and risk being wrong, or wait for
credible reporting. The wait has grown longer, entangled with
misinformation, contradictions and overwhelming noise.
Now that wait is over. Factal bridges the speed-accuracy gap through a
hybrid of AI technology and our global team of experienced
journalists. Drawing from an enormous pool of open data, Factal
detects, verifies and prioritizes critical details – fast.
You see a clear operational picture of how your organization is
impacted, and verified alerts are routed straight to the people who
need to know. Even in the most demanding situations, you’re able to
make the right decisions and respond faster than ever before.
How Factal helps your team be more productive
You don’t need more data. You need better data and
smarter technology to keep up with the accelerating pace and
uncertainty of global events.
A small security team at a major US airline switched to Factal as they
struggled to keep up with noisy "unvetted data-mining platforms." Now
the airline relies on Factal’s verification and customization to make
sense of COVID-19 and other events in real time.
"Our organization’s current process has been greatly simplified," the
airline explained. "Our decision to utilize Factal has truly tipped
the scales to a more security-driven and proactive approach to global
events."
Whether you’re relying on Factal as a standalone service or a powerful
complement to another tool, your team should be able to operate on any
pane of glass – at home, in the office or in the field.
We’ve partnered with a wide array of innovative partners such as Esri
(pictured) to integrate Factal’s trusted real- time data in mapping,
alerting and collaboration tools.
