IDOL Discover

OpenText IDOL has brought Investigative Analytics into the platform, accomplished by leveraging IDOL's extensive domain expertise and unparalleled history in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Why IDOL Discover?

Today's technological landscape has simultaneously simplified and complicated the handling of data. This change has resulted in increasing amounts of content stored in digital formats, not to mention the strain that the collection, organization, and security of these assets can be for an organization.

A widening gamut of digital formats for evidence in court proceedings calls for a centralized solution combining these disparate systems' functionality. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies need simplified collaboration so investigators can focus on what their titles imply – investigating.

IDOL has taken this already proven and comprehensive software platform and flipped its sirens on by providing law enforcement and intelligence agencies a solution for extracting defensible facts from digital evidence.

The power is from IDOL's ability to allow its users to manage the entirety of the digital investigation process on workflows. Without question, one platform is better than two if it has the power.

And power IDOL has.

What Can IDOL Do for You?

If you have felt the strain of the increasing collection, classification, processing, security, and surveillance of digital assets in your organization, you have some options.

One option would be to hire more people. Hire more data analysts and investigators. More work = more people, right? If this is your chosen route, don't hesitate to contact me as I would like to live in your extremely wealthy city.

For most organizations, budgets can be tight and can put limits on simply increasing staffing. Alternatively, IDOL allows teams to process more video and image content and evidence promptly without increasing staffing costs. Not only can IDOL mitigate increased work for your staff, but it allows each team member, often not imaging experts, to analyze video and images gathered quickly and accurately.

Utilizing extensive artificial intelligence and machine learning, IDOL meets unique law enforcement and intelligence evidential requirements that manage the entirety of the digital investigation process within one platform. IDOL can include a complete investigative workflow, incoming requests, automated analysis, investigator validation, and final report delivery.

IDOL In Action

With the power of the artificial intelligence behind IDOL, the use cases are expansive and increasing:

Solving the Digital Asset Problem

More evidence is being stored in digital formats, and the collection, organization, and security of these assets is becoming an increasing strain on labor and costs of law enforcement and intelligence organizations. Consolidating the digital investigation process to a single platform eradicates the time and money wasted trying to collaborate and cohesively use these disparate systems in evidence discovery and court proceedings.

Unified Video and Image Analytics Platform

IDOL unlocks the door for the analysis of video and image content for multiple entity types, simplifies user training, and allows for a more effortless data fusion. Law enforcement officials would likely agree the best place for investigators and officers is in the field fighting crime, not trying to figure out how to analyze video and image evidence.

Expert Augmentation Analysis

Utilize the advantage of artificial intelligence in analysis by automatically performing preliminary analysis to uncover facts validated by a human eye. Experience a more efficient investigative process by aiding investigators and analysts, allowing them to focus on their speciality rather than repetitive administrative tasks.

Evidential Analysis Workflow

The derivation of reliable conclusions in court can be better met when the route taken is through an evidence-focused workflow solution. IDOL can manage a complete analysis workflow, from the incoming request through automated analysis and investigator validation to final report delivery. With a unified, end-to-end platform driving analysis of evidence through industry-leading artificial intelligence, you can extract the maximum amount of information in optimal time.

Fight Crime, Not Software

At the end of the day, IDOL stands to aid crime fighters. By combining a unified end-to-end platform housing an intuitive analysis workflow with a simplified way to collaborate, law enforcement professionals can focus on their duties and leave the monotonous analysis for a machine.

Close more cases, stop more criminals, save lives, and make your city safer with OpenText IDOL.
