In my experience as an entrepreneur I have come to know and understand the requirements of the clients, generally companies and governmental institutions. Of all the things I have been able to observe is the increasing need for any suggested solution that arises to be simple to understand and must have an immediate application, characteristics which in principle are not to be criticised, are most desirable and to be kept in mind by any systems or product designer worth his/her while. Another thing is that these characteristic be desirable or possible in some types of systems, in general the socio-technical systems and in particular the intelligence socio-technical systems which can not be simple or immediate but rather are complex in structure, composition and progressive in their usefulness to the organisation they must service. In this sense it can be affirmed that any proposition contrary to the aforementioned doesn’t only give rise to problems in the actual usefulness of a product or service of this sort, but will be totally counter-productive. A clear example is the way in which GOOGLE is used, a magnificent tool to access the worlds of information and knowledge, however, appalling as a basic research and analysis tool, basically due to it’s inability to establish an efficient and solid relevant considerations, reliability and credibility.


As knowledge becomes scarcer, the constant gathering of information becomes a necessity as does any other information element, no matter how irrelevant it may be to the objective at hand, thus the bad time management of the client obliges the designer and consultants to simplify the proposals and thus revealing many elements that may turn out to be a serious problem at the instant of accomplishing the established objectives. As Bachelard said, the simple doesn't exist only the simplified. Subsequently it is necessary that an intelligence system have a socio-technical configuration, that is to say complex, and its useful function will be progressive, any other suggestion is what ever each wants to call it, but won’t be an intelligence system.
