In response to a detailed request for comment from Wired, Palantir Lisa Gordon’s spokesman declared in a declaration that the company is “proud to support the United States government, in particular our war fighters” and that has never launched from its founding mission “to support the West and enhance the most important institutions in the world”. Gordon added that the open letter that criticizes Palantir was signed only by a small part of about 8,000 employees and former students of the company.
Dawn of Big Data
Under jargon and marketing, Palantir sells tools that its customers – corporations, non -profit organizations, government agencies – use to order data. What makes Palantir different from other technological companies is the scale and the scope of its products. Its tone for potential customers is that they can buy a system and use it to replace perhaps a dozen other dashboard and programs, according to a 2022 analyses Palantir offers published by the blogger and data engineer Ben Rogojan.
Basically, Palantir does not reorganize the bins and tubes of a company, so to speak, which means that the way the data is collected or the way they move through the bowels of an organization does not change. Instead, its software is located on top of the disordered systems of a customer and allows them to integrate and analyze data without having to correct the architecture below. In a sense, it is a technical patch. In theory, this makes Palantir particularly suitable for government agencies that can use cutting -edge software that has cropped together with programming languages dating back to the 1960s.
Palantir began gain steam In 2010, a decade in which the corporate commercial discourse was dominated by the rise of “Big data. “Hundreds of technological startups have sprouted promising to interrupt the market by exploiting the information that were now promptly available thanks to smartphones and sensors connected to the Internet, including everything, from the global shipping models to the habits of the social media of university students. Put pressure On companies, in particular the Legacy brands without sophisticated technical know-how, to update their software, or risk taking dinosaurs for their customers and investors.
But it is not exactly easy or economic to update the IT systems that can come out with years ago or even decades. Rather than breaking everything down and building again, Companies may want a solution Designed to be slapped on what they already have. Here’s where Palantir enters.
Palantir software is designed by thinking about non -technical users. Instead of relying on specialized technical teams to analyze and analyze the data, Palantir allows people of an organization to obtain insights, sometimes without writing a single line line. All they have to do is access one of the two main platforms of Palantir: Foundry, for commercial users or Gotham, for the police and government users.
The sales passage
Foundry focuses on helping companies to use data to do things such as managing the inventory, monitor factory lines and keep track of orders. In the meantime, Gotham is a specific investigative tool for police and government customers, designed to connect people, places and events of interest to the police. There is also Apollo, which is like a control panel for shipping automatic updates of Foundry or Gotham software, and the artificial intelligence platform, a suite of tools based on artificial intelligence that can be integrated in Gotham or Foundry.
Foundry and Gotham are similar: both to ingest data and offer people a platform ordered to work with it. The main difference between them is what the data are ingesting. Gotham takes all the data that customers of the government or law enforcement agencies may have, including things Like crime reports, booking records or information they collected from a appearance of a social media company. Gotham then extracts every person, place and details that could be relevant. Customers must already have the data with which they wish to work: Palantir himself does not provide.
