Abstract: In the last 15 years, the necessity to put together knowledge from different expertise areas placed the fusion centers that provide analysis and evaluation in various specific fields in the middle of intelligence organizations' strategic plans and visions. The inclusion of academia, universities, research centers, and business sector in the intelligence process has become a sine qua non condition of the intelligence workflow, especially on the strategic level. This paper consists in a short evaluation of the existing models and presents the so-called analytical hubs as proposal for an integrative working model. OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) plays an important role within these collaborative platforms as the most appropriate resource to introduce and use outside expertise into the intelligence system and to inform the beneficiaries in order to adopt the best decisions to promote the national interest.
