Australian and British Firms in Strategic Partnership – Eden Technology PTY Ltd and OrbisIP Ltd
(Sydney, NSW and London, England – 9 June, 2008) There is a growing requirement in the legal and law enforcement communities to use technology efficiently in the preparation, presentation and management of large evidence. There is a secondary requirement to produce accurate, admissible, timely and cost effective forensic analysis of computer equipment that can be used in a court of law to support a criminal prosecution. Eden Technology and OrbisIP share the view that there is a market for innovative technology that can meet these challenges and have agreed to work together to bring GEMS and DIAS, two of Eden Technology’s product portfolios, to the European market.Eden Technology has been successfully selling its GEMS Evidence Management technology to a number of Government and commercial customers in Australia and South Africa. While the DIAS forensic technology is new to market both in Australia and Europe, the technology has a deep pedigree as it was originally developed by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). DSTO is the Australian Government’s lead agency charged with applying science and technology to protect and defend Australia and its national interests. DIAS is manufactured under licence from Commonwealth of Australia represented by Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO)

The power of GEMS enables any form of evidence acquired or generated to be managed and quickly culled leaving only that relevant to the case. The resultant efficiency gains made by investigative teams using GEMS are substantial and easily quantifiable.About DIASDIAS is a computer forensics application which provides the latest functionality in the analysis and interpretation of digital data. It features an extensive range of digital forensic tools which can be quickly applied to produce intuitive, interactive outputs and results to aid in the investigative process.
