“Turning Data Chaos into Mission Intelligence”

The Situation 

​

A federal public safety agency relied on decades of siloed systems, unstructured documents, and inconsistent data formats. Analysts spent excessive time reconciling data manually, limiting their ability to perform timely analysis. Reporting accuracy varied widely across programs, undermining trust in the information. Leadership needed a unified data environment that could support modern analytics, AI, and operational decision-making. 

​

The Solution 

​

STS delivered a modern data ecosystem with: 

• Cloud-based lakehouse architecture (Azure + Databricks) to unify structured and unstructured data. 

• ETL/ELT pipelines with automated validation, quality scoring, and metadata tagging. 

• NLP pipelines to process case narratives, transcripts, and document repositories. 

• Entity resolution & knowledge graphs to connect people, events, locations, and relationships across systems. 

• Data governance and metadata management to define lineage, ownership, and business context. 

• Curated semantic layers supporting BI dashboards and self-service analytics. 

• AI/ML models for classification, prioritization, anomaly detection, and case triage. 

• Integration with mission applications to ensure insights could drive meaningful operational action. 

• Secure access controls and auditing aligned with federal standards. 

The Impact 

​

Analysts gained near–real-time access to trusted, contextualized data. Operational workflows accelerated, improving mission decision-making and reducing manual workload. Leadership gained a comprehensive view of trends and risks that previously remained hidden.
