CONVERGENCE

Separate trades are converging on one demand.

Digital forensics, eDiscovery, incident response and public-safety technology grew up as separate trades with separate tools. In today's market they are converging on the same requirement: records that leave the system that created them and still hold up. Receipted, portable, independently verifiable.

Forensics meets eDiscovery

Collection and review used to live in different products with different custody rules. Matters now cross that boundary routinely, and the record has to survive the crossing without losing provenance.

Incident response becomes evidence

Response work increasingly ends in front of reviewers, counsel or regulators. Findings kept as notes become findings kept as receipts: timestamped, hashed, attributable.

Public safety goes portable

Body-worn, CAD, dispatch and digital-evidence systems must exchange records across agency boundaries. Portability with intact provenance is the price of admission.
