BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IntaForensics is a leading provider of digital forensics services and software to government and commercial clients in the UK. Headquartered in Maryland, dtSearch specializes in enterprise and developer text retrieval software and document filters. Together the companies announce the addition of the dtSearch Engine to the IntaForensics' Lima Case Management System.

The Lima Forensic Case Management family of products includes the standalone Personal edition, as well as Laboratory, Enterprise and soon to be released full forensic Law Enforcement versions - which now incorporate the powerful dtSearch platform. All of the applications provide a complete workflow solution and end-to-end case management from collection of exhibits to final case dispatch. Features of this full-service platform include exhibit tracking, extensive logging options, a comprehensive timeline of all case-related activity and work allocation, as well as advanced features designed for supporting laboratory accreditation.

For full-text searching inside the Lima Case Management system, IntaForensics chose to embed the dtSearch Engine. dtSearch's core developer product, the dtSearch Engine, instantly searches terabytes of text, including 25+ full-text and metadata-driven search options. The dtSearch Engine works with online and offline data, including emails and attachments, a broad range of document types, website data and other databases.

"We chose the dtSearch Engine to integrate in the Lima Case Management system because of its ability to instantly find keyword, or, combination keyword hits across all of our uploaded documents which are part of our Lima solution," said Andrew Frowen, CEO, IntaForensics. "The ability to, at the click of a button, find all hits for a specific term has saved vast amounts of time for all Lima users at IntaForensics and within organizations across the globe. The result has meant that Lab Managers, examiners and any interested party can instantly perform a system search for any keyword and establish links to cases that otherwise, may have gone unnoticed. Since adding the dtSearch Engine, our customers have said this is a great addition to an already great solution, it is really helping with speeding up the time concerned with general use and information searching."
