iDEMS functions as a central hub, or “single pane of glass,” for siloed and disparate data sets.

Veritone, Inc. today announced it has expanded automated data integrations into its Intelligent Digital Evidence Management System (iDEMS) to ingest data from Axon’s Evidence.com and Milestone Systems XProtect.

Veritone's iDEMS solution suite leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence to streamline the management and analysis of digital evidence, including audio and video, providing law enforcement agencies with powerful tools to handle vast amounts of data quickly and accurately. As an open architecture solution with the ability to ingest data from dozens of third-party applications and tools, iDEMS functions as a central hub, or “single pane of glass,” for siloed and disparate data sets, offering industry-leading cognitive and generative AI processing at scale and the ability to share the data with other third-party applications.

The result is enhanced operational efficiency, enabling agencies to streamline workflows and accelerate investigations. iDEMS is platform-agnostic and currently available on secure clouds (AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and FedRAMP Marketplace) and for on-premises systems.

"At Veritone, we are committed to continuously enhancing iDEMS to meet the evolving needs of law enforcement agencies,” said Jon Gacek, general manager, Public Sector, Veritone. “By expanding our data integrations to include Axon's Evidence.com and Milestone Systems, we are increasing access to provide our customers with unparalleled tools to manage and analyze digital evidence, streamline workflows, accelerate investigations, and ultimately enhance public safety. Additionally, iDEMS’ open architecture helps agencies reduce data storage costs and provide greater interoperability.”

Beverly Hills Police Chief Mark Stainbrook states, “As a leader in advancing and implementing a real-time crime and watch center, our success stems from the collaboration and integration of Virtual Patrol Officers (VPOs), which monitor over 2,500 surveillance cameras around the clock, officer-worn body cameras, crime analysts who provide critical data to guide patrol strategies, and the innovative Drone First Responder (DFR) program. We have a growing list of mission-critical applications and data sources, and Beverly Hills PD would benefit from the ability to aggregate the data from these applications and apply advanced AI and analytics to review evidence and solve cases faster.”

iDEMS is powered by Veritone’s enterprise AI platform, aiWARE, which leverages the combined power of more than 300 pre-trained and trainable, best-of-breed cognitive AI and generative AI models across more than 20 cognitive categories in a single AI platform. It uses machine learning across the AI engine ecosystem to orchestrate and employ the appropriate engines for the job.

Within aiWARE, Veritone’s ontology framework provides customers with several benefits, including the ability to conduct more complex data queries and analyses, derive deeper insights, improve data security and governance, enhance collaboration, and scale and easily change or add new data sources.
