USE CASE
Transforming Intelligence Operations in Fusion Centers with Indago
Executive Summary
A state-run fusion center faced mounting pressure to deliver timely, accurate threat intelligence to stakeholders across law enforcement, emergency management, and homeland security. Legacy systems and manual report compilation led to delays, inconsistencies, and missed threat indicators.
With Indago, the center overhauled its intelligence workflow—cutting report generation time by over 60%, improving analytical depth, and delivering actionable intelligence with enhanced confidence. The result: faster response times, reduced analyst burnout, and increased cross-agency collaboration.
About The Analyst
Working within a state fusion center, the lead intelligence analyst is responsible for producing daily situational awareness reports and supporting ad hoc requests from law enforcement and emergency response teams. These reports often integrate data from OSINT, classified systems, and interagency feeds.
The Challenge
Information Overload: Analysts struggled with sifting through immense volumes of structured and unstructured data.
Manual Compilation: Writing daily briefs and incident reports was time-consuming, often taking 4–6 hours per product.
Cross-Agency Pressure: Increased expectations for speed, clarity, and analytical rigor put pressure on lean teams.
Impact of the Problems
Delayed Response: Slower intelligence cycles hindered timely alerts and situational updates.
Analyst Burnout: High cognitive load and repetitive tasks reduced morale and increased error risk.
Inconsistent Quality: Variability in report formats and analytical depth reduced stakeholder confidence.
Results
60% REDUCTION IN REPORT TIME
Shifted analyst focus to threat interpretation, not document formatting.
FASTER THREAT ESCALATION
The team now delivers alerts within minutes of a verified incident.
IMPROVED STAKEHOLDER TRUST
Consistent, high-quality products increased reliance on the fusion center’s outputs.
Tailored Needs
To overcome these challenges, the team required:
A secure, reliable system that could integrate OSINT and internal feeds in real time.
Role-based collaboration tools for distributed teams.
A platform capable of drafting structured, source-cited, bias-checked intelligence reports.
Tools that enhance rather than replace human judgment—keeping analysts in control.

Looking Ahead
The center plans to expand its use of Indago across its partner network, supporting coordinated regional response and resilience planning. As data volumes grow, Indago remains the core tool enabling fast, secure, and insightful intelligence reporting.
