As previously stated, global networks for information/intelligence collaboration ultimately lead to clarity of mission and purpose, and produce focused intelligence products enabling effective operations. Information operations assist in shaping the security environment, fostering accurate assessments of the significance and "actionability" of the derived intelligence products. Ultimately, the contextual inferences of these products depend on the ability of organizations to integrate technology, systems, and people. These products are critically important for driving policy and operational plans at the state, local, national and international levels.
