• Under
Information Management Europol presented (i) its Core Systems Report, (ii)
the latest developments on QUEST search system interface and (iii) Analytical
Capabilities Evolution by July 2018. Europol reported on the last meeting of the
Information Management Working group (IMWG) and, in reply to DE concerns on
the delivery of SIENA 4.0, Europol explained that delays are caused by the need to
migrate to a new infrastructure. The plan (if budget allows) is however to present to
the next IMWG the rollout plan for SIENA 4.0, which will be tested as from January.
On SIENA EU Confidential, Europol will develop a tool, as requested by MSs, which
will allow to perform searches and will improve user interface. On the Europol’s
Analysis System Project, the agency referred to the performance issues with
Palantir, and informed that a new in house system will be developed, tailored on
Europol’s needs. DE was sceptical and asked about costs and resources implications
of the in house solution. BE noted that this is Europol core business. Europol
reacted to reassure MB members.
