Canberra-headquartered AI and machine learning firm Trellis Data has partnered with UK digital forensics company CCL Solutions Group on an AI intelligence gathering solution.

Trellis Data offers generative AI, computer vision and speech-to-text solutions targeting the government and defence sectors.

The partnership will see Trellis Data’s AI solutions integrated with CCL’s data analysis platform to offer intelligence officers with a toolkit of AI-enhanced digital forensics capabilities.

Trellis Data said the collaboration will establish a new standard of surveillance technology for law enforcement and intelligence agencies worldwide.

The solution will also use Trellis Data’s new secure chat application that provides traceability of data sources and can search over a million documents in seconds, the company said.

It allows intelligence officers to make queries and draw connections across numerous streams of information.

“We are very excited to expand our work with law enforcement by partnering with CCL, a highly respected provider of systems and capabilities to police forces globally,” said Michael Gately, CEO of Trellis Data.

“Our suite of applications is specifically designed to manage and analyse vast amounts of data, including thousands of hours of audio daily, making it a perfect match for CCL’s needs in supporting police and intelligence operations.”

“Together with our partners, organisations and agencies now have streamlined access to solutions that ensure data acquisition, analysis and control, to maximise their potential.” 

Trellis Data specialises in AI and deep neural network technologies, including natural language processing and translation, object detection and decision-making at the edge.

The firm, which recently opened a new Adelaide office, deploys speech-to-text models across over a hundred languages and dialects that can be used for bespoke use cases.

“We are delighted to add Trellis Data’s secure chat, vision and speech solutions to CCL’s suite of digital forensics, data acquisition and analysis capabilities,” said Noel McMenamin, CEO of CCL Solutions Group.

“Working in partnership with Trellis Data and Cairn Advisory Group, we are providing innovative and secure, end-to-end data acquisition and analysis solutions, designed for agencies and organisations with investigative, security and privacy needs.”

“Our combined solutions provide organisations with a powerful workflow to acquire and extract value from a variety of data types and offer secure, multilingual transcription tailored to meet mission objectives.”
