Veritone, Inc., a leader in designing human-centered AI solutions, has launched its new Intelligent Digital Evidence Management System (“iDEMS”) that leverages AI to modernize existing digital evidence management systems. iDEMS helps public safety and judicial agencies extract data and insights to solve investigations more efficiently by automating workflows from data silos into a secure, centralized AI-driven system that significantly improves upon legacy evidentiary software.
Built on Veritone’s award-winning aiWARE platform and hosted on Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS)-compliant environment, iDEMS is a cloud-based platform comprised of Veritone’s public sector solutions – VeritoneInvestigate, Redact, Illuminate, Tracker and IDentify. iDEMS has seamless downstream workflows to centralize digital evidence, streamline redaction, improve analysis and evidence discovery, track persons of interest across all containerized content files and identify persons of interest from an existing records database. The solution also provides technical workflow integrations with many of the industry’s leading software platforms and tools, including:
Freedom Of Information Act (“FOIA”) providers such as Granicus and Opexus;
Video management systems like Milestone and Qognify;
e-discovery platforms such as Relativity;
Investigations and forensics providers such as Exterro and Nuix; and
Any open APIs offered by other law enforcement solutions providers such as Axon’s Evidence.com and Cellebrite
“Veritone iDEMS equips public safety and judicial agencies with extensive AI capabilities, offering a centralized repository with AI-enabled software applications to address the formidable challenge posed by vast and growing volumes of digital evidence that agency personnel need to review,” said Jon Gacek, general manager for Veritone Public Sector. “With iDEMS, agencies can ingest all digital evidence data, including audio, video and documents, from their existing systems, organize it and share it securely inside and outside their organization. Veritone’s AI-enabled technology swiftly and accurately identifies crucial evidence that can be efficiently reviewed and processed by agency personnel to accelerate investigations.”
Veritone iDEMS comes at a time of rapid market growth for digital evidence management systems. The Gartner Market Guide for Digital Evidence Management Systems (published January 30, 2024) notes that “reports estimate the global market size to exceed $12 billion by 2028 with compound annual growth rates at 10% or more.”
At the heart of iDEMS is Veritone Investigate, which provides a customizable user interface and serves as the central evidence hub to store, manage, analyze and share all digital evidence files. Investigate connects to any cloud or on-premise data source such as 911 and video management systems, and ingests any type of media files, including body-worn camera footage, surveillance footage, and jailhouse calls. Investigators can leverage primary and advanced AI models to catalog and tag unstructured data within audio, video and PDF evidence files, leading to actionable insights. Investigate automatically runs and processes primary AI models such as transcription, object detection, facial detection and scene detection to help agencies search, discover and catalog the fundamental information needed to accelerate investigations.
Ryan Steelberg, president and CEO of Veritone added, “The public sector increasingly considers AI a necessary and mission-critical tool, especially as agencies face the exponential risk of increased unstructured data, coupled with the challenges of constantly fluctuating or shrinking budgets. Veritone iDEMS was built on strict policies and secure architecture to uphold and support the highest levels of security and compliance. With our AI for Good principles, embedded within iDEMS, Veritone aims to set the standard in ethical development, implementation and use of AI in the public sector and all markets we serve.”
Veritone Investigate is available for procurement directly from Veritone and through multiple channels and partners, and it is the first application in the iDEMS suite that is now available in the AWS Marketplace.
