The program
Assistance and Advisory Service (AAS)
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) is NATO's principal C3 capability deliverer and CIS service provider. It provides, maintains and defends the NATO enterprise-wide information technology infrastructure to enable Allies to consult together under Article IV, and, when required, stand together in the face of attack under Article V.
To provide these critical services, in the modern evolving dynamic environment the NCI Agency needs to build and maintain high performance-engaged workforce. The NCI Agency workforce strategically consists of three major categorise's: NATO International Civilians (NIC)'s, Military (Mil), and Interim Workforce Consultants (IWC)'s. The IWCs are a critical part of the overall NCI Agency workforce and make up approximately 15 percent of the total workforce.

Introduction
The NATO Intelligence Community requires a common and standardised Intel data visualisation portal that will incorporate existing INTEL Dashboards and INTEL & C2 data layers across the multi-domain NATO Intelligence enterprise. The future data Portal, Dashboards and bespoke visualisation tools will improve collaboration as all users will be able to see the same authoritative data views across the enterprise. Various Intelligence sub-functions will be provided with bespoke dashboards and tools, as needed, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Intelligence Requirement Management, Collection Management (IRM&CM) as well as exploitation and collation functions. The NATO Core GIS will provide the core technology for the activities described above. The NATO Core GIS is primarily based on COTS from Esri.
