CHANTILLY, Va. – OGSystems (OGS), a leader in technology innovation for the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC), today announced Prescient as the latest partnership in the development of BlueGlassTM – OGSystems’ easily accessible location-based intelligence platform.

“Prescient is a premier global risk management firm and its travel intelligence and due diligence are unmatched,” said Omar Balkissoon, CEO and Co-Founder of OGSystems. “This strategic partnership provides access to a technology stack and analytics that allow our customers to make informed decisions and mitigate risks; it is a perfect complement to the BlueGlass™ platform.”

“Prescient’s real-time global location-based risk alerting and their curated foundational intelligence covering over 700 locations is a perfect addition to the BlueGlassTM platform,” said John Goolgasian, OGSystems Associate Partner in charge of GEOINT Analytics. “The addition of Prescient to the BlueGlassTM team of partners will give our early adopters more access to a wider variety of information than any content and analytics service available; BlueGlassTM truly is the most robust and easiest to use location-based intelligence platform ever built.”

The OGSystems BlueGlassTM platform combines commercial remote sensing, big data, and cognitive analytics to deliver real-time insights through situational awareness, anomaly alerting, and reporting of activities that could pose risk to the operations of its users.
