# i2 Group Intelligence link-analysis software vendor. Sells **i2 Analyst's Notebook** (visual link-analysis) and **i2 iBase** (multi-table relational intelligence database). LRPD uses both products across **Special Investigations Division, Major Crimes Division, and the Real-Time Crime Center**. The product line has an unusual corporate-provenance history: founded 1990 as i2 Limited in Cambridge UK, acquired by IBM in 2011, divested by IBM in 2022 and sold to **N. Harris Computer Corporation** (a subsidiary of Canadian conglomerate **Constellation Software, Inc.**, Toronto), where the products are currently sold and supported. ## Corporate identity | Fact | Value | Source | |---|---|---| | Original vendor | i2 Limited (UK, founded 1990) | (Tier-3 reference, industry knowledge — not Tier-1 from corpus) | | Mid-period parent | IBM (acquired 2011 for ~$500M) | (Tier-3 reference) | | Current vendor (as of 2022) | **N. Harris Computer Corporation** (subsidiary of Constellation Software, Inc., Toronto, Canada) | (Tier-1 corpus, [[CLR-2026-778]], "Competitive Exemption Form_Approved.pdf" — "N. Harris Computer Corporation is the sole supporter"; also "i2 Renewal Quote 2024" — quote letterhead "N. Harris Computer Corporation" with sales contact Natalie Phouthonephackdy at [email protected]) | | Country (current parent) | Canada (Constellation Software) | (Tier-3 reference) | ## Product line documented in the LRPD corpus | Product | Description | Annual fee | |---|---|---| | **i2 Analyst's Notebook Concurrent User** | Visual link-analysis software; produces network diagrams of persons, places, and things | $4,863.24 | | **i2 iBase Concurrent User** | Multi-table relational intelligence database | $7,053.12 | | **Combined annual subscription** | (sum) | **$11,916.36** | Coverage: 2024-01-01 through 2024-12-31 (per Quote i2-33260 dated 2023-11-16). ## Procurement vehicle The i2 renewal is **single-source under Arkansas exemption #44** (filed January 30, 2024), but with a procedurally distinct routing: the exemption is signed by **Amanda B. Jones, Grants Manager** for the **Finance/Grants** department, not by LRPD Admin Svc Manager [[Latreasa Mullins-Sanders]] like the Cellebrite/NetMotion/PowerDMS exemptions. Approved by **Vitesh Patel, Procurement Manager** for the City. The exemption form justifies the single source: > "Bid occurred previously for this software (iBase, Analyst Notebook) that is used by Special Investigations, Real time Crime Center, and Gun Crimes Intelligence Unit. IBM was the initial contracted vendor (Contract 426) however IBM no longer supports this software and N. Harris Computer Corporation is the sole supporter." (Tier-1 corpus, Competitive Exemption Form_Approved.pdf, 1/30/2024, p. 1) This is the cleanest documentary anchor in the corpus for **the IBM-to-N. Harris i2 product transition** that occurred in 2022. ## Funding > "Funds for this purchase are available in the funding specifically set aside for the RTCC." (Tier-1 corpus, [[CLR-2026-778]], "i2 Renewal Quote 2024.pdf" — Major Ty Tyrrell memo to Asst Chief Troy Ellison, 2023-12-07) This is the RTCC funding allocation (separate from the Seized Funds account that funds [[Fusus]] and other surveillance-tech buys). ## Roles in this corpus - **The visual-link-analysis and intelligence-database vendor used by LRPD Special Investigations, Major Crimes, and the Real-Time Crime Center.** - **RTCC-funded.** - **The cleanest documentary anchor in the corpus for the 2022 IBM-to-N. Harris i2 product transition** (per the sole-source exemption justification). - **The sole product line in the corpus signed by Amanda B. Jones (Grants Manager) rather than Latreasa Mullins-Sanders** — sit between LRPD and the broader City Finance/Grants administrative structure. ## Notes - The i2 quote letter references "Data Processing Protection — i2's Data Processing Addendum (DPA)" with explicit pointer to GDPR (EU/2016/679). This is a notable contractual touchpoint with EU data-protection law inside the corpus. - The product line's name in the contract documents alternates between "i2," "i2group," and "N. Harris Computer Corporation." All refer to the same product family. - Tier-3 sources outside this corpus document IBM's 2011 acquisition of i2 (then i2 Limited) for approximately $500M, and the subsequent 2022 divestiture to N. Harris Computer Corporation. Those facts are not directly anchored in the [[CLR-2026-778]] corpus beyond the "IBM was the initial contracted vendor (Contract 426) however IBM no longer supports this software" sentence in the exemption form. - See [[Competitive-Bid Exemption (Sole-Source Procurement)]] for the procurement-mechanism concept. - Sales contact: **Natalie Phouthonephackdy** ([email protected]).
