As a result of its collaborative effort, Intellectia Bank, JMJLab and Wundermac (Interligare R & D) begin the implementation of the first educational Intelligence Lab Europe.

The implementation of the Lab is supported by Intellectia Bank´s experience during 2010 in implementing the “IDI Classrooms” for the development of digital and technological skills among young people, sponsored by Tecnópole (Parque Tecnológico de Galicia), funded by the General Directorate of R & D of the Department of Industry of the Xunta de Galicia and adding the experience of JMJLab and Wundermac in intelligence systems, structured thinking techniques and methods of analysis and synthesis.

This laboratory is conceived as a liaison between the most advanced intelligence systems, educational curricula development and implementation of applications that can be tested by users, in this case young students.

Intellectia Bank´s IDI 2010 Classrooms, have been developed in Tecnópole, involving fifty young people between 13 and 17 years, coming from five public schools and four private schools divided into two groups: One of them works in the area of Young Scientists on, among others, a project to build a mini-satellite. The other group works on the development of computer applications applicable to classroom and education.

Intellectia Bank´s 2011 IDI Classrooms will have the following structure:

• Technology Classroom: Internet and computing, social networking, information management, content generation.
• Young Scientists Classroom.
• Science Classroom: Electronics and applied electronics, sensors, microprocessors and projects development.
• Biotechnology Classroom: environment, sustainable development, climate change and action, analysis and experiments.

Intellectia Bank's mission is to create value for society and for its shareholders, designing and developing new technology tools and applications for all areas and sectors, doing research in the field of educational intelligence, managing services at the forefront of web 3.0 and pointing to 4.0, creating innovative ideas and products to contribute in a sustainable manner for the welfare of people and creating new prototypes that contribute to continuous improvement in their quality of life.

JMJLab is the complex systems´ design lab led by José Martín Juárez, focused on helping human organizations to be more efficient and designing and deploying systems that make people live better.

Wundermac is the European Lab leader in research and innovation around “Understanding Systems”, which provide precise knowledge of the environment in which the organization coexists, maintaining constant vigilance on the entities and events that constantly occur, giving them significance within the organization’s objectives and therefore establish what and how the said entities think with respect to their aspirations, objectives, intentions, capacities, vulnerabilities, behavioural patterns, etc. and, as a result of this, establish the threats, risks, opportunities and possible situations that might occur in the short, medium and long term.

Interligare R&D Lab enters its second round of funding which will enable its consolidation as a WORLD-CLASS project by becoming the reference laboratory in applied research, systems design and development of Scientific Intelligence.

Additionally, in this new phase Interligare R&D changes its name to WUNDERMAC - World Understanding Machines – Lab. This name change is in line with the idea of reflecting lab´s innovation results achieved during its start-up. This innovation that can be summarized in founding of a new generation of systems, tens of architectures and functional prototypes in operation in different clients, a set of innovative IT products about to hit the market and an Innovation Plan that will make WUNDERMAC global leader in the most interesting technologies and systems for the present and future: The World Understanding Systems.

Atos Origin, an international information technology services company offering global high-technology transaction services, consultancy, system integration and outsourcing, and INTERLIGARE, a research, design and development (R+D+D) company with a continuous innovation model centred around Scientific Intelligence which exploits its assets by means of transferring and enhancing the value of the same through a worldwide network of associates, have reached a strategic market agreement. By virtue of this agreement, Atos Origin has become Interligare’s IT System Partner for Spain.

Atos Origin’s National Security strategy includes a series of disciplines or subjects, of which Intelligence constitutes one of the fundamental pillars. In the last few years Intelligence has reappeared to confront new threats, to minimize risk and to anticipate the capacity to react by suitable management of the same. Intelligence is currently considered to be one of the most important disciplines and is unquestionably one that can contribute to minimizing risks in the present-day world.

The object of the agreement is to provide, install, configure, integrate, train and offer added value services around Scientific Intelligence platforms and IT support systems. By means of this agreement, both companies will jointly deploy Scientific Intelligence solutions fundamentally based on nowIS systems and platforms (Normalized Wide spectrum Scientific Intelligence Systems), whose configuration and design are adapted to the current and future needs of state, supra-state, regional and local governments, as well as companies that operate in strategic, innovative sectors such as finance, energy and those related to other basic services aimed at members of the public (law and order, health, the environment, etc.).

With respect to the benefits of such solutions, it should be noted that they offer a clear, advanced intelligence model system, allowing the identification and planning of all the informational elements that are essential for consumers of intelligence, as well as the simultaneous visualization of large data sets thereby facilitating the identification of possible relations and/or links through models and simulations, providing new techniques to prevent “surprises” in Intelligence, and to reinforce national and corporate security.

Francisco Calvo, Member of Atos Origin’s Executive Committee and Public Sector Director, considers that "this agreement increases the power of Atos Origin’s National Security strategy as Interligare’s platforms, which are considered to be at the forefront of Intelligence R&D+i at world level, can be included in Atos Origin’s own solutions. These platforms will allow Atos Origin to tackle and construct Investigation and Intelligence solutions in the widest aspect of public or private sector business activities. Among these are taxation or customs investigations, support for foreign diplomacy, strategic environmental alert studies, police investigation support systems, surveillance and early detection systems, the investigation of all kinds of activities, etc."

For his part, Alexandre Hermida, General Manager of INTERLIGARE, assured that, “the added value contributed by INTERLIGARE to this agreement is notably high and, for the partner, implies a top-level competitive advantage with respect to those who today only offer partial solutions (ICT consultancy or solutions). INTERLIGARE is committed to consolidate a synergy network orientated towards the development of global services and businesses, without possible canal conflicts, offering proactive support to the development of its partners’ businesses. Atos Origin is, for its professionalism and market competitively, the best partner that we could have in this phase of our growth”.

In essence this agreement is centred on two complementary companies, focused on satisfying their clients and with a high predisposal to adapt to circumstances, to the market and to opportunities. Similarly, INTERLIGARE and Atos Origin propose to collaborate in joint R&D projects in state and community environments.

Atos Origin is an international information technology services company. Its objective is to transform its clients’ strategic vision into results through better use of consultancy systems, system integration and outsourcing. The company has a workforce of 50,000 professionals in 40 countries, and an annual turnover of 5,500 million Euros. Atos Origin is a worldwide technological partner for the Olympic Games, and its clients include large international companies in all sectors. Atos Origin is listed on the Eurolist market in Paris, and carries out its activities under the names of Atos Origin, Atos Wordline and Atos Consulting.

The INTERLIGARE Group is a Spanish entity dedicated to scientific-technical research and complex system design and engineering, with a clear vocation for independence and an ethical attitude towards business relationships. Its main activities are the research and design of Scientific Intelligence systems, the production and transfer of Ingenios (intelligent components) and Scientific Intelligence systems (computerized, educational, methodological and socio-technical) in the form of products, advanced services and platforms, to its technological and knowledge partners, as well as the design and management of strategic projects to transform organizations into Intelligent organizations.

The Conference is to be held at 9.00 a.m. on 29th April 2010 in the Eurobuilding Hotel C/. Padre Damián, 23) and will be inaugurated by General Félix Sanz Roldán, Director of the Spanish National Intelligence Centre.

Mr. José Martín Juárez, President of Interligare and Principal JMJLab Researcher, will intervene in representation of the recently formed alliance between Interligare and Atos Origin (who are sponsoring the congress) for the promotion and deployment of scientific intelligence products and solutions which are principally focused towards both the public and private security sectors.

Among other equally distinguished members of the armed forces participating in the congress will be General Fulgencio Coll Bucher, Army Chief of Staff, together with specialists and executives from other companies that provide specialist services in the security field.

Interligare R&D will inaugurate the Aranjuez SCIlab (Scientific Intelligence Laboratory). The facilities, totalling 400 m2 sited within the historic city centre of Aranjuez, will have a workforce, including own and associated staff, of around 40 researchers who will receive support from fellows in nearby academic institutions such as CES Felipe II in Aranjuez (Complutense University) and the Madrid Polytechnic University.

Interligare R&D’s work is focused on continuous innovation using a reference model, known as Ingenios-RM, which was developed by José Martín Juárez. These describe an organization of educational, technological and socio-technical (organization) systems and sub-systems which allow the diagnosis, evaluation and improvement of all processes, products, behaviours and organizational structures.

The Scientific Intelligence model comprises the following main systems: Understanding System, Reasoning System, Strategic System, Knowledge System and Communication System. The objective of Interligare R&D and its SCILabs is to create intelligent components (or ingenios) which are integrated in these systems allowing the creation of solutions aimed at transforming organizations into socio-technical intelligent organizations.

The Aranjuez SCIlab will specifically focus on producing and/or certifying the ingenios that make up the Understanding Systems or nowIS WUNDERMAC.

Several projects are currently being developed in SCIlab, such as Tizona, a project financed with 2.4 million Euros, CITEX with 97,000 Euros, Analyst Toolbox with 645,000 Euros, and SEGURAME a project financed with 440,000 Euros.

The system will be presented and demonstrated to technical experts and Interligare R&D’s clients and selected potential users on 30th April 2010 in the Hotel Intercontinental, Madrid.

ISIS GLOBAL HUNTER 5.2 is the first of a collection of new generation systems which are the result of the experiences gained since starting this business and the work of JMJLAB and INTERLIGARE R&D design and engineering teams. This and other international market launches are intended to revolutionize information capture, evaluation, storage, analysis and representation systems.

ISIS GLOBAL HUNTER 5.2 will be marketed in Spain through authorized partners and integrated in NOWIS 5.1 ADVANCED and NOWIS 5.2. A distribution agreement is currently under negotiation for the UK and USA. In Spain, a special promotion will be undertaken within the public administration and banking sectors. The system is anticipated to offer the following features:

Several versions will become available between 3rd May and 15th September 2010. These versions will include models with a flat tariff service between 500 and 3,000 Euros per month, “lite” licensed server versions between 15,000 and 30,000 Euros, professional “i-node” versions between 40,000 and 120,000 Euros, as well as corporate and military versions.

Interligare Group has played a noteworthy role at the SCIP Annual International Conference held between 9th and 12th March the Hotel Marriott Wardmarn Park, Washington DC. The conference, a referential meeting place for experts in this discipline, was attended by more than 700 companies, organisations and world experts on the subject of competitive intelligence representing the main competitive intelligence suppliers and users.

In addition to its own stand, Interligare Group chaired one of the interactive sessions entitled: “Innovative Intelligence Systems: Building a New Discipline ”, during which Esther Quintero, Interligare Group’s Scientific Research Director, and Gregory Treverton, the Director of Rand Corporation’s Center for Global Risk and Security and Vice-president of Interligare Group’s Innovation Committee, explained the broad lines of the Scientific Intelligence discipline which was founded by José Martín Juárez.

The session was attended by 75 high level experts representing companies such as Lockheed Martin, Monsanto, Pepsi Co., Avaya and Booz Allen Hamilton. In the words of Esther Quintero: “it has been a gratifying experience explaining the scientific approach from which we do our work and, I understand, very interesting for the attendees. Interligare is a young group that has already travelled a distance and learnt a series of lessons in the design and deployment of socio-technical systems to understand reality better and for more efficient actions on the part of companies and organizations in the global market. These activities are very useful to help companies and institutions become more intelligent organizations”. For his part Gregory Treverton declared that he felt “happy to collaborate with my colleagues in Interligare. They have a pioneering approach to the discipline of intelligence, with an open reference model which covers distinct areas of interest in the discipline, from understanding reality to the use of analysis, reasoning and communication techniques with a very attractive IT support.” Gregory Treverton concluded the interactive session with the following declaration about Interligare’s systems: “the purpose is not intelligent intelligence but intelligent organisations”.

The Interligare Group similarly took advantage of their participation in the conference to announce its new partnership policy at the hands of David Luengo, who is responsible for Inteligare’s alliance program. “This is a program aimed as much at global integrators as specialist intelligence consultants”. As an institution focussed on R&D, Interligare intends to form alliances with technological knowledge and business partners to deploy the benefits of Scientific Intelligence more efficiently and deeply in the market.

Interligare is a research, design and development group comprised of business and academic platforms oriented towards the development of the Scientific Intelligence discipline and its application in society through the creation of knowledge, systems, products and services with great added value to transform organizations into intelligent socio-technical organizations.

During a work meeting held with the Spanish Institute of Foreign Trade (ICEX) in Madrid, Interligare, a Spanish group specializing in the research, design and development of intelligence systems and seven other partners from various European countries, have implemented the CITEX project (Competitive Intelligence in Trade and Export) to develop an innovative formative offer in Competitive Intelligence (CI) production methods and procedures applicable to the international trade sector. The ultimate aim of this project is to prepare small and medium-size business (SMEs), as well as business support centres, to manage strategic information in order to deal with their internationalization processes with greater assurance and less uncertainty. The results of this project could help to improve the professional competence of more than one million knowledge workers in Europe.

One of the objectives of CITEX is to define and promote a new professional profile: the Competitive Intelligence analyst that will become homologated for all European countries. Future training will help analysts to develop the cognitive and logical reasoning capabilities, abilities related to the management of information and knowledge of the environment, necessary to produce high quality, precise intelligence which assists decision making processes. This initiative is directed at the personnel in the SMBs themselves and/or business support centres that offer their Competitive Intelligence systems to other organizations.

The project, presented within the Leonardo da Vinci 2009 program - Multilateral Projects for Development of Innovation in the EU, has received finance of more than 300,000 Euros, which will allow a total investment of approximately 500,000 Euros. CITEX is one of 38 projects subsidized in this convocation, and was within the top five in the ranking of approved projects.

The General Manager Interligare, Alexandre Hermida, emphasized the importance of this project stating that “If Spain wishes to position itself for an economic model aimed at competitive capability and growth, it must be able to count on a national infrastructure to provide competitive business intelligence, a human, methodological and technological infrastructure with the aim of providing capabilities and intelligence information to Spanish companies and public institutions by virtue of a continuous innovation model”.

Other European entities participating in the project are the Durham Chamber of Commerce (England), the Celje Regional Agency (Slovenia), the National Enterprise Association (Bulgaria), the University of Lodz (Poland), Euradia Internacional (Spain), IDEC (Greece) and West Sweden (Sweden), each of these is an expert in an area of knowledge which is fundamental to develop the training program.

The Interligare Group is a private group with Spanish share capital which leads the creation of Scientific Intelligence as a discipline that is valuable for managing knowledge. Its mission is to research, design, develop, deploy, give support and manage socio-technical systems in all types of institutions and companies. Since 2004, Interligare has concentrated on the design, development and deployment of nowIS (normalized wide spectrum Intelligence Systems) systems.
