Actian products are used by some of the leading organizations like University of Oxford, Nikon and Opera Solutions. SecureAlert, a client of Actian, provides electronic monitoring programs and services to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The client collected GPS data on offender activity at the rate of one trace every minute for each person being tracked—translating to billions of records. SecureAlert used Actian Analytics Platform and the Actian Matrix to transform big data into actionable insights with the performance and scalability required by law enforcement agencies. If a late-night robbery occurs near the home of an offender who is on probation for theft, time-stamped GPS traces are analyzed and law enforcements are informed that it was an offender, not a suspect. With Actian Matrix, a basic query on the billions of records in the database takes about eight to ten seconds to run.
