8 Ways to Accelerate your Digital Investigations 

In today’s digital world, criminals use multiple devices and apps to cover their tracks. Traditional methods of reviewing evidence one device at a time are no longer enough. Here’s eight ways using the right investigation software can accelerate your digital investigation:

1. See the Bigger Picture 
   Old Way: Review each device separately, missing connections. 
   New Way: Analyze data from all devices at once, revealing hidden links. 
   Example: Spot a drug dealer coordinating with multiple buyers across different apps and devices simultaneously.
   
   
2. Uncover Hidden Connections
   Old Way: Manually cross-reference contact lists and messages.
   New Way: Automatically visualize communications and connections between people.
   Example: Quickly identify a previously unknown middleman connecting two suspected gang members.
   
   
3. Understand Movement Patterns 
   Old Way: Piece together location data from individual devices. 
   New Way: View location data from multiple devices on a single map. 
   Example: Easily spot when suspects’ paths intersect, even if they use different devices. 
   
   
4. Decode Digital Identities 
   Old Way: Struggle to link various online aliases to a single person. 
   New Way: Correlate digital identifiers across platforms and devices. 
   Example: Connect a suspect’s seemingly unrelated social media profiles, email addresses, and phone numbers.  
   
   
5. Build Comprehensive Timelines 
   Old Way: Manually create timelines for each device. 
   New Way: Automatically generate single timeline 
   Example: Quickly see how a group coordinated their actions before, during, and after an incident. 
   
   
6. Break Language Barriers 
   Old Way: Rely on separate translation services for foreign language content. 
   New Way: Instantly translate and analyze conversations across languages. 
   Example: Decode conversations in another language revealing a local distribution network. 
   
   
7. Uncover Overlooked Conversations 
   Old Way: Miss key information hidden in screenshots, images, audio, and video. 
   New Way: Automatically detect and transcribe text from various media formats. 
   Example: Transcribe a suspect’s audio recording discussing plans for a future crime, revealing crucial evidence. 
   
   
8. Identify Repeat Offenders and Crime Connections 
   Old Way: Rely on memory or manual searches to link cases, often missing connections between repeat offenders or related crimes. 
   New Way: Find connections between current and past investigations, making it easier to identify repeat offenders and uncover links in seemingly random crimes. 
   Example: Identify a serial offender by linking their digital footprint across multiple unsolved cases.
