The OpenText white paper introduces a digital evidence management (DEM) model to help law enforcement handle the surge in evidence from mobile, cloud, and rich media sources. Modern DEM must support ingestion, secure storage, analysis, and lifecycle management of diverse evidence types while maintaining chain of custody. Key requirements include analysis support (capture, collection, forensic imaging), management support (multi-tenant access, audit trails, integration with other systems), and strong security (encryption, hosting controls, authentication). The paper outlines an action plan: review current processes, define platform requirements, engage vendors, and factor in budget constraints to optimize efficiency and compliance.
