The Power of Information

To protect their loved ones, safeguard their lives, or just downright make good decisions, people need data. This has been the idea that intelligence provider Intelius, a private firm located in Bellevue, Washington, hinges on.

Too often people get themselves in a fix because they unwittingly hired the wrong contractor, dated a compulsive polygamist, and all the other reasons that stem from ill-placed complacency. Lies can blindside the best of people.

Intellius saves Americans the trouble by providing them with critical information. Utilizing a massive information network, Intelius gathers information from all across the United States.

Government offices, tax bureaus, census bureaus, address registries, courthouses, the administrative offices of the courts, the department of corrections, and other public sources are essentially repositories of data. Every day, Americans go to these agencies to register milestones in their lives and get some kind of recognition from the state.

These are where Intelius gathers its data. The company legally penetrates the information databases of those agencies and collects personal info there. To wit, the company gathers persons’ addresses, real estate deeds, lawsuit filings, telephone numbers, cell phone numbers, marriage contracts, death certificates, dockets, and more.

One could only imagine the power behind any one of these data. Information used the right way empowers individuals and organizations to make the right decisions. With them, one could reckon with criminals in their neighborhoods; HR professionals could hire the best job applicant; telephone owners could quickly unmask unsolicited and secretive callers; credit card owners can discourage identity thieves; social net subscribers may know the various guises of their contacts; and long-lost friends could reconnect.

Industry watchers were impressed Intelius’ innovative services — in honor of Intellius’ founder, Naveen Jain, Ernst & Young named him an Entrepreneur of the Year finalist in its 2006 awards.
