Founded in 2000, Digital Reasoning is a privately held company headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee.

Digital Reasoning is an emerging leader in providing solutions that resolve the fundamental problem of information overload for analysts and decision makers by delivering entity-centric applications on secure, scalable environments.

Since our entry into the federal space in 2004, our technology has shown novel application to difficult problems.

“In early testing against classified message traffic, the system was used against terrorist data to explore extracted concepts. With little training the system was cross-linking complex Arabic names, locations and events”, said a Technology Integration Officer at the US Army Biometrics Intelligence Program.

Since that time, the technology has been expanded dramatically to handle millions of documents, hundreds of millions of links and concepts, and perform entity resolution across diverse unstructured data sets. In 2009, Synthesys (the current embodiment of Digital Reasoning technology) was selected as a centerpiece of the INSCOM Enterprise Platform (IEP) for Army Intelligence to manage entity analysis and entity resolution across all Army Intel data.

The US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) Information Dominance Center (IDC) Futures directed development of the next generation search/data and software services within a distributed grid architecture in support of an overall architecture redesign strategy. Within the INSCOM Enterprise Platform (IEP) are search services which incorporate the best of breed search and retrieval functions architected for deployment within a distributed grid infrastructure.

Digital Reasoning provided analytic components and services to the IEP, which yielded capabilities far beyond basic search through the use of text analytics, entity relationship extraction, entity resolution, and categorization.

Whereas the last ten years of Information Technology in the commercial and defense sectors have focused on how to handle and make searchable the vast amount of created and collected information, we believe the next ten years will be spent transforming this data into integrated knowledge with the highest possible degree of automation. Digital Reasoning believes the answers will necessitate the adoption of two key components – automated analytic technology that learns the meaning of information (Synthesys) and a secure software infrastructure that allows this analytic technology to scale and safely exchange data over large, distributed networks, or clouds (Secure Container). Together, these capabilities represent part of the next wave of IT and a necessary evolutionary step in our national defense.
