The collaboration will accelerate evidence gathering and analysis, thanks to the application of advanced AI technologies. According to Noel McMenamin, Chief Executive Officer of UK based CCL Solutions Group, the incorporation of Trellis Data’s Secure Chat, Vision, and Speech solutions will bolster CCL’s potent lineup of digital forensics, data acquisition, and analysis capabilities. He stated, "Working in partnership with Trellis Data and Cairn Advisory Group, we are rolling out innovative, secure end-to-end data acquisition and analysis solutions, specifically designed for agencies and organisations with investigative, security and privacy needs."

They develop and implement highly accurate, bespoke speech-to-text models in over a hundred languages and dialects. Notably, Trellis Data excels in providing customised solutions for organisations with the most stringent data security demands.

Michael Gately, CEO of Trellis Data, voiced his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating "We are very excited to enhance our work with law enforcement through our partnership with CCL, a highly esteemed provider of systems and capabilities to police forces across the globe. Our suite of applications is specifically developed to manage and analyse vast volumes of data, including thousands of hours of audio daily, making it an ideal fit for CCL’s needs in supporting police and intelligence operations."

The innovative solution will also leverage Trellis Data’s product line, encompassing the novel Secure Chat application- an ultra-secure knowledge management system that provides total traceability back to each data source and can search over a million documents within seconds. This progressive, generative AI-led approach will empower intelligence officers to make inquiries and draw connections from multiple information streams, offering an unrivalled overview of surveillance data.

The blend of Trellis Data's AI-powered knowledge expertise and natural language processing with CCL's secure data analysis platform will set a new precedent in surveillance technology for law enforcement and intelligence agencies worldwide.
