i2 iBase Designer

With i2 iBase Designer, you can design relational databases into which all data relevant to your investigation can be entered. During this four-day training, you will learn how to design databases in i2 iBase that meet analysts' needs. As an example, you will learn to design a relational database that allows you to investigate the transactions of a group of people for specific details such as meeting points, common transactions, or calls made. 

The examples and issues come from a variety of fields with various types and forms of data, including financial data, telecoms data, ICT data, forensic data, and personal data. 

The training takes 3 days of training and a refresher day a few weeks later. This allows you to bring in a use case, learn tricks and get tips that apply to your daily activities.

In practice, i2 iBase Designer is mainly used (usually in combination with i2 Analyst's Notebook) by analysts from the police, defense, large private or government organisations, banks, non-profits and insurance companies.
