The FBI has expanded its use of software that helps analyze how criminal organizations operate by signing a five-year 
licensing agreement with ChoicePoint Inc. of Alpharetta, Ga., the company announced today. ChoicePoint, which will 
provide products from its subsidiary i2 Inc., estimated the value of the contract at $12 million.

ChoicePoint, a major data aggregator that culls information from dozens of public databases and distributes it to 
corporations and government agencies, links its information with i2’s Analyst’s Notebook tool and other software.
