Atturra partners with Comtrac on digital investigations platform

The partnership adds to Atturra’s applications business and expands its regulatory, safety and compliance offerings.

Atturra has partnered with Comtrac to become a reseller and implementation partner for its digital investigations platform.

The arrangement establishes a shared services model, with Atturra hosting the Comtrac platform and offering integration, analytics and training capabilities.

Comtrac helps create briefs of evidence for courts and investigation reports by automating evidence analysis, mapping exhibits to key offence elements and producing legal forms and applications.

The partnership is designed to improve the speed, accuracy and consistency of investigative practices using AI-driven processes. The combined offering targets agencies facing rising caseloads, staff attrition and increasing scrutiny around governance and compliance.

“It provides the fastest, most effective way to scale up service delivery capability and market exposure,” Alastair Brooke, safety solutions practice director, Atturra said.

Increasingly, investigators are dealing with large volumes of evidence such as cameras, interview records and more, a problem that’s well suited to AI.

In Comtrac, the AI is trained within the context of allegations and can process hours of camera or interview records in a few minutes to transcribe and highlight key elements of the evidence that prove the specific allegations.

“What’s great about this process is that it is part of a human-in-the-loop workflow, that aligns with best practice and documents what the AI has done and verified by the human,” Brooke said.

Atturra and Comtrac are finding demand across all levels of government ranging from financial and environmental crime to biosecurity and misconduct.

“Enforcement and investigative agencies are seeing caseloads continually increase, pushing out timelines and effectiveness without the ability to increase headcount,” he added.

In addition, many enterprises require investigative functions, such as workplace-related misconduct, insurance and financial services companies that investigate fraud, AML compliance, or environmental compliance in the case of natural resources companies.

“With regulatory and compliance requirements increasing across industries, the need for secure AI and modern digital collaboration has never been greater,” he ended.
