Digital Evidence Management System for Investigations and Case Workflows
Veritone iDEMS is a suite of AI-powered applications that together form an intelligent digital evidence management system that helps you quickly access, search, manage, organize, and share digital evidence — all of which can help accelerate investigations and improve legal processes. Unlike physical evidence, digital evidence is generated continuously, in vast volumes and across many sources — making capture, review, and sharing far more complex and time-consuming without a centralized digital evidence management system.
From Data Overload to Investigative Insight
With an ever-growing volume of digital data in modern investigations, law enforcement agencies, legal professionals, and other partner agencies that handle digital evidence face workflow inefficiencies, backlogs, burnout, and budget constraints.
To help teams manage growing volumes of digital evidence, Veritone has built iDEMS upon our award-winning aiWARE platform, offering a suite comprised of Veritone’s market-leading public sector solutions, including Veritone Investigate, Redact, Illuminate, Tracker, and IDentify. The integration of these tools in a single system allows you to expand what is humanly possible by automating workflows from different data silos in a secure, centralized evidence system.
Centralized Digital Evidence Management
Veritone Investigate is at the heart of the iDEMS suite, providing a customizable user interface and serving as the central evidence hub to store, manage, analyze, and share all digital evidence files. You can connect it to your cloud-based or on-premise data sources (such as 911 and video management systems). Then, you can ingest any type of media file (such as body-worn camera footage, surveillance footage, jailhouse calls, etc.) to leverage primary and advanced AI models to catalog and tag unstructured data within audio, video, and PDF evidence files, leading to actionable insights.
Investigate applies artificial intelligence through primary AI models such as transcription, object detection, facial detection, scene detection, and license plate recognition to help agencies search, discover, and connect relevant information across evidence, accelerating investigations.
iDEMS also has seamless downstream workflows to help agencies streamline redaction (via Veritone Redact), improve analysis and evidence discovery (with Veritone Illuminate), track persons of interest across files (using Veritone Tracker) and identify persons of interest from an existing records database (leveraging Veritone IDentify).
A Centralized CJIS-Compliant Cloud Environment for More Streamlined Investigations
Under one secured CJIS-compliant cloud environment, Veritone iDEMS harnesses digital evidence to streamline evidence handling and extract maximum value from it. Unlike conventional systems, Veritone iDEMS is infused with potent AI capabilities, allowing teams the ability to prepare, analyze, and share digital evidence in one place.
Maintain Evidence Integrity Across the Justice Workflow
Modern digital evidence management systems are designed to preserve evidence integrity and chain of custody from the moment agencies capture digital evidence through review, sharing, and courtroom preparation. As video files, documents, and other digital evidence grow in vast amounts across incidents, agencies need systems that support evidentiary standards while reducing the risk of unauthorized access or unmanaged distribution.
A CJIS-compliant environment supports accountability and defensibility by maintaining audit logs of user activity, applying role-based access controls, and enabling secure ways to share evidence with prosecutors, court systems, and other agencies — without relying on physical media or time-consuming manual transfers. This is especially critical for federal agencies and multi-jurisdiction teams that depend on consistent evidentiary handling across systems.
By enabling secure collaboration and faster access to relevant evidence, digital evidence management software helps investigators focus on work, save time on routine evidence handling, and maintain critical situational awareness across complex cases involving video clips, body cameras, and other media sources.
The following capabilities show how Veritone iDEMS supports secure, scalable digital evidence management across the full evidence lifecycle.
