Merger Strengthens Law Enforcement Searches

Crime solvers now have an improved way to track down clues, thanks to a single merger, a recent V3 article reports. One of the premier analytics firms, SAS in the US, recently purchased the UK based Memex in a step to bolster SAS’ law enforcement services. Memex currently supplies enterprise search solutions to law enforcement agencies from Brittan to Los Angeles. By bringing its research abilities to SAS’s global reach, the company aims to help law enforcement and justice and defense agencies share data by making it more widely available and much more searchable. This is an interesting example of a structured data specialist acquiring specialized technology to service a specific niche. We expect to see similar partnerships sprout up.
