Improve evidence accessibility and management with DWS integrated evidence management solutions

Build the Bridge Between Multiple Evidence Management Applications Seamlessly with One Cohesive Platform

Digital evidence plays a crucial role in investigations, and it can come from various sources. Not all evidence is easily accessible by law enforcement agencies, especially if it requires proprietary hardware or software. By quickly ingesting relevant evidence, converting files to more standard formats, and allowing for more intuitive usage of that data, effective digital evidence management systems can break down data silos across law enforcement and legal organizations.

Dynamic Workflow Solutions (DWS) is a middleware software solution that enhances data and evidence management, application integrations, and data migration for multiple platforms. As an evidence handling tool, DWS gives users a quick and easy way to ingest and manage all video files, audio recordings, documents, and other digital data in their backend Digital Evidence or Case Management System. The solution provides consistent operator flow across all case creation and desired workflows, via integrations with other best of breed incident management software or as a standalone Digital Evidence Management Solution.

How DWS works?

Within DWS' user interface, users can enter in a Case Number/ID, add metadata (i.e. Classification, Name, Address, and more) to a configurable meta-form, and even select cameras and specify the event times of interest for video input. DWS will pull in all data into a single interface for a consolidated approach to evidence handling. When using the system for video input, DWS will bring in the original first instance video files and then automatically rewrap the video files to a standard .mp4 file for easier playback. It will send both files and the metadata to your preferred digital evidence or incident management system.
